Vintage 1960s Japanese Teisco tear-drop guitar

guitarz.blogspot.com:
The eBay seller AZ Guitar Worx claims that this vintage no-name tear-drop guitar is a Teisco, and whilst it's not a model I've seen previously, looking at the general construction, pickups and hardware used, I think Teisco is a fair bet; it certainly looks very Japanese. Like the violin bass, the tear-drop guitar is a design that has been pounced on by a myriad of copyists and imitators, although to my mind this one looks much more Kapa Minstrel than Vox tear-drop. Still, it's a very cool guitar; pity the tremolo arm is missing.

Currently listed on eBay with a Buy It Now price of $799.

    I have one in green and black, I must say not in nearly as good of a condition.
