Produced during the golden era of Japanese guitar manufacturing, the Teisco Model U is a distinctive lap steel that reflects the company's innovative approach to instrument design throughout the 1960s. Combining compact proportions with eye catching styling, the Model U has become an increasingly desirable vintage instrument, offering classic lap steel tones alongside the unique character for which Teisco instruments are renowned.
This 1960s Teisco Model U is finished in Vintage White and remains in very good original condition. Its single pickup delivers the bright, singing voice associated with vintage lap steels, making it equally suited to traditional country, Hawaiian music and blues, as well as more experimental styles. A particularly cool feature is the placement of the volume control, positioned perfectly for effortless pinky finger volume swells while playing.
This lapsteel is in very good condition throughout, and appears to remain original and is complete with its original hard case, making it a rare and highly collectible Japanese vintage lap steel from one of the most recognisable names of the era.
As with all our instruments, this guitar has been given a full service and appraisal by our luthiers at the Vintage Instrument Workshop, and includes a 1 year warranty.
