This 1960s Teisco EJ-3 is one of the coolest vintage '60s guitars we've had. It sounds as good as it looks. The guitar features 3 great-sounding gold-foil pickups, one volume and one tone control, a vibrato system, and three independent pickup switches. The amount of different sounds you can get out of this guitar is really amazing. When you put it in the neck-only position, it sounds clean and soulful. In the bridge-only position, it sounds clean, sharp and with a good proportion of treble. In the middle-only position, it sounds like power. The most interesting switch position is when all three are on. In this position it almost gives it an "AM" radio sound due to the pickup resistance going down. When the neck and bridge selected together, it sounds thin and clean like a Stratocaster out of phase. The red sunburst finish looks great in person complimented by black back and sides. The Rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays looks rich and clean. The tuners are in excellent smooth-working condition. Each pickup sits on the original foam padding and can be adjusted up or down. The neck is attached with 4 screws and a metal neck plate that reads "Made In Japan". Original chipboard case included.
