How much would these two sell for? I may be willing to sell. Hey, I have an EP-8T hollow-body, near perfect condition with a Checkmate 12 amp, also in near perfect condition. I would like to know how I go about finding what the approximate date of manufacture of this guitar is and how I would go about finding its present worth.

Keep checking back and I'll have an update on each guitar.
One of the purposes of this blog is to document the stree value of these guitars. Good luck with your project, it sounds like it's going to look beautiful once you get it painted. Is there any place that i could find the street value of these guitars? i am looking at one used, but i dont know what to offer. It will get all new electroncs and machine heads as well as a new roller tune-o-matic. The control plate is missing as well as the pick guard so I will make new ones from pearloid stock, possibly in yellow. Planning on repainting it as bright red as I can find with bright yellow bindings and a big Scuderia Ferrari badge on the lower body. It is currently completely disassembled and being sanded to be repainted and refinished. Missing some parts and the finish is trashed. Thanks for the picture from Portugal, I like the color of your model better and it is in better condition. No craks, I still have the original knobs (but i've change to keep in tune). The pickups are rewinded, they sound loud as a Gibson Les Paul, but with the sound of a Teisco. Check my about me page for the ebay listing. While guitars manufactured by Teisco were ubiquitous in their day, they are now very collectable. under several brand names including Silvertone, Jedson, Kent, Kingston, Kimberly, Tulio, Heit Deluxe and World Teisco. Teisco guitars were also imported in the U.S. Teisco guitars sold in the United States were badged "Teisco Del Rey" beginning in 1964. Teisco was founded in 1946 by renowned Hawaiian and Spanish guitarist Atswo Kaneko, and electrical engineer Doryu Matsuda. The Teisco brand name stands for 'Tokyo Electric Instrument and Sound Company'. It has the usual fussy switches and pots that you'll find on a 40 year old guitar that hasn't been restored.
With the hole in the trussrod pocket it seems this guitar has spent part of it's life as a wall hanger. The Tremolo bar is also missing and the spring itself is missing.
The guitar is in very good shape although it's missing the original nameplate and the bridge has been changed out for a modern style. The model number listed on the back nameplate is the EP-8T with the T in the model number for the tremolo. Speal shows you how he modifies these to be great top-mount pickups in cigar box guitars.This is a late 1960's Teisco thinline Hollowbody guitar in the Gibson ES style. The "guts" of the pickup is a rail-style single coil, with an impedance of about 2.68kOhms.

If you are looking to mod it, you can easily cut off that amp cord, bare the wires inside and wire it direct to an output jack instead. The pickup comes with a standard eight-foot 1/4" amp cord attached so you can mount this in your guitar and plug it right into an amp. The thickness is just a hair over 1/4", so with a little bit of modding (remove the ears), this can be used as a surface-mount pickup on a cigar box guitar. With the mounting ears, the total width is 5". The size of the pickup itself (minus the mounting ears) is 2 3/4" x 1 1/8".
It is made in the style of the classic Teisco(tm)-brand Del Rey(R) "Gold Foil" pickups, and for such a simple (and inexpensive) pickup it really puts out great sound. This is a special magnetic pickup designed for mounting into the sound hole of an acoustic guitar. Authentic 1960's Pawn Shop Guitar Tone! Inspired by the famous Ry Cooder Gold Foil pickup.
