You mean, the fuzz is
in
the guitar???

The Muff Fuzz Circuit is still in there under the pick guard -you can see the black toggle switch & pot (without knob) in the middle below the pickup. Disconnected it years ago because it sounded like crap. Wish I still had the Muff Fuzz metal box to return it to.

I saw on a Japanese site that one of these sold recently for more than three grand. Not that I have any intention of selling it ever.

 

 

WHAT?!?! Ive seen SG7s go for like 70000-80000yen (under900 bones). That must have been a famous one.. theyre cool.

The Ricenbacker looking one is hot too

I have a teisco similar to this except it all natural brown laminate (almost rosewood like) with matching headstock. Same vibrato/tuners but different controls. It has tone and volume sliders. It has a black pick guard with a floral type design on it I have never seen another guitar like it. I got it for $200 and it is a surf rock machine I'll post pics later because I am at work. :p

I tried out the bass version of the ET270 once and liked it. Then I saw that there was a guitar version and I've been wanting one since.


I really dig that red burst.

 

 

 

if anyone wants an ET270, there is one at a Janesville, WI pawn shop for $200

 

 

but is has been there since 1996 [at least] sitting on a stand.

 

 

 

I owned one 10 years ago, it was very stiff feeling and I didnt like it enough to keep it, and sold it in 2003 or so.

So very rare, and completely unaffordable for me... but I would so rock that guitar. I love VOX in the 60s.

 

I bet that bastard is back breaking heavy too. I'd strap on a back brace and rock it in all its {censored}ty 60's synth guitar glory. :love:

I've seen that video before - it's really cool, but apparently it was kind of misleading. Apparently most players couldn't get it to work that well. It was probably kind of like guitar synths, only super-early in the game, so you really had to adapt your technique to work it... and most people probably didn't have a clue.

 

That's all conjecture - I've never had the opportunity to play one. But I've heard they were really hard to use and quite flakey.

Still don't know who manufactured this weird thing. Teisco or Kawai(?) Says 'Black Jack' on the Headstock. Made in Japan of course.
Picked it up for $35 in 1985. Most musicians wouldn't have been caught dead playing this in the 80s.
