Members GuitarSlim101 Posted December 1, 2013 Members Share Posted December 1, 2013 So my uncle surprised me with this little gem at the family Thanksgiving gathering Thursday. He found it at a pawn shop for $20 and was going to fix it up and flip it, but decided to pass it my way instead. It's a Teisco-made Decca with a comically small body, very fat mahogany neck, and a single gold foil pickup in that wonderful sweet spot between the neck and middle position. I'm loving it so far. It's a 24.75 inch scale with decent sized frets and a pretty flat radius. Not quite Danelectro flat, but it's close. The pickup sounds awesome. Kind of marries my favorite tonal qualities of lipstick pickups with P90s and throws in a healthy dose of microphonic trashy-ness. I still need to do a bit of work on the nut, the frets, and the electronics, but it's playing alright at the moment. I'll try to get some sort of demo recorded once I get everything sorted out. And a size comparison next to my Les Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GuitarSlim101 Posted December 1, 2013 Author Members Share Posted December 1, 2013 The pickguard is metal, though shiny black would look quite nice. riff ie wrote: pls make a vid goin' all hound dog taylor on us thx, For you, Riffy, this will happen.
