Here’s a Japanese beauty—known as the “Tulip” model—a fire-engine red from the ’60s. Seller says she’s in great condition with the nicks and knocks you’d expect on a 50-year old guitar. Curious thing, seller says there’s no serial number so she’s been dated by her hardware and features. But on her neck cover plate there is a serial number clear as day. I don’t know what to make of that (maybe their record keeping wasn’t so good?) but if you’re curious, ask seller. Seller says he’s been through and cleaned her pots, conditioned her fingerboard, polished her body and set her action as well as he could but “she is no Les Paul. LOL.” I think that means her action still rides a bit high.

Personally, even if she doesn’t turn out to be a player for you, she definitely had a unique charm. The Tulip works for me and I can see her as part of any Teisco collection.
