The Teisco Del Rey ET-460 is probably one of the more recognizable 1960s Japanese-made guitars, and epitomises the Teisco brand with its bold striking body shape with German carve, 4+2 headstock design, four pickups with pushbutton selector switches, striped metal pickguard, and Teisco's own take on the Bigsby vibrato. The model was so famous (or should that read infamous?) that it was one of Eastwood's earlier re-issues of classic and retro guitars.
This original Teisco example in very nice condition indeed is currently being auctioned on eBay with just 8 hours left to go at the time of writing and with bidding currently at $510.
