Description
Step back in time with the Audition by Teisco, a guitar that embodies the spirit of the 1960s, a golden era for Japanese craftsmanship in electric guitars. Teisco, synonymous with innovation, introduced the Gold Foil pickups in the mid-'50s, setting this guitar apart with its unique tone and character. The Gold Foil pickups are known for their warm, resonant sound, capable of both singing and growling, making it an ideal choice for slide guitar enthusiasts or those seeking a distinctive vintage sound.
The Audition stands out not only for its sonic qualities but also for its quirky, charming design that captures the retro vibe of its era. Its solid body construction and original wiring are testaments to its enduring quality. Though the wiring might seem a bit unconventional by today's standards, it adds to the guitar's vintage allure, and a modern three-way switch could easily enhance its functionality without compromising its originality.
This guitar is not just an instrument; it's a piece of musical history, offering a tactile connection to the past with its chunky neck profile and period-correct details. Whether you're a collector or a musician looking to infuse your sound with a touch of nostalgia, the Audition by Teisco is a unique addition to your musical arsenal.
Key Features:
- Solid body electric guitar
- Two Teisco Gold Foil pickups
- Original 1960s Japanese craftsmanship

Not Good
$15 thrift store find, and that's all it's worth. Made of what I assume is driftwood. Perfect for Mac DeMarco fans, but not for people who want nice clean guitar tones.
