I've never seen one of these (closeup around 1:50). There are other videos on YouTube showing him with this guitar, too. What a player. I believe this is live: they didn't normally close-mike vocalists on TV back then. What is this guitar?Hi Tate. All the clues are there. The headstock shape, the cut-out in the body, the metal pickguard, the offset block markers... It's a 1960s Japanese-made Teisco. However, I am unable to tell you the exact model, it's not one I've seen before. It certainly sounds great in Glen Campbell's hands, though!
Thanks for your great blog from Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, where the temp is currently -19 °C.

Anyone out there have any more exact information?

ReplyDeleteAt the first glare, it looked like a danelectro dead on '67. I don't know what teisco model could it be.
