Guitar
Here is another neat little Teisco with a Lyra badge - these "center screw" gold-foil pickups are the same type used by Ry Cooder (yeah I know hype hype hype) so you may like the tone for vintage sounding slide. Mostly just nice if you like these funky Japanese guitars and are looking for one like this as a 2nd stage axe or for your collection.

Very cool guitar which plays nice and gets a great sound. It is from the late 60s or early 70s and the condition is excellent with very few scratches or dents The pots are a little scratchy but overall everything works including the whammy bar. The brand on the head reads LYRA and the stamp on the neck plate states MADE IN JAPAN. The photos are shown with Les Paul knobs but I have put the original knobs back on. I have gigged with this axe and it handles very nicely with an almost "Strat" like sound.

Here's an interesting find. The Harmony H1239 is an "Auditorium size" acoustic similar to a Martin OOO-18 with a spruce top and Mahogany (I believe the Martin is Rosewood) back and sides. The necks are quite different though - don't expect Martin...
