In this case it's an old Teisco hollowbody. It plays okay and has been a lot of fun to research and chase parts for. I bought it pretty much stripped. It was the neck, body, bridge and tailpiece. I did some research and found a few pics of the style Teisco and then started watching eBay for parts. The pickups were the hardest to get as finding them with the rings is fairly difficult. I got super lucky on the switch cover coming in a box of random Teisco parts. The spring for the trem is a repro. Wish I could find an original pickguard though.
Meh :/

I have an old teisco in pieces at my house that I never got around to fixing, although the weird mustang ripoff trem would probably be near impossible to replace.

had this idea of puttin one of those pickups in between the hbs on my sg

i just lost the trem spring to my et-200
where did you find the replacement ?

Found one one eBay awhile back. A Bigsby may fit too depending on which trem you have. I have another Teisco I'm gonna mod with Jazzmaster style pickups. Unlike the one pictured, this other one has been modded quite abit. So, I'm not gonna try to restore it in any way.
