Teisco ET-230 / Silvertone K2L Sharkfin 1967 Tobacco SunburstBeautiful Teisco ET-230 / K2L in amazing condition! This guitar is fabulous and has some rare features. This guitar is equipped with a spring loaded string mute that dampens the strings when activated (like a palm mute). The foam on the mute is original and has dried out quite a bit, but I've had luck using adhesive foam window insulation to renew these string mutes. I can include a piece with the sale if you remind me. Also, this ET-230 has a 3 way tone switch that activates 3 different settings: Rhythm, Solo, and Bass for "on the fly" tone switching.The three slider switches are an "On/Off" for each pickup plus a "normal" and "treble" switch. The treble switch acts like a boost. There is also a volume knob for each pickup and a universal tone knob.All electronics work perfectly. Occasionally there is a little static in the switching which is typical of a guitar this age and easily remedied with a shot of spray cleaner. The only pieces missing are the Teisco logo and the tailpiece cover.Ships with a gig bag.This is a used, vintage guitar that will show evidence of wear commensurate of age. There are dings, dents, scratches etc. but no major cracks or repairs at all. The finish is still quite glossy and this guitar is in excellent condition for its age.See pics for notes details. You won't find another ET-230 like this anytime soon. Outside continental USA will ship with neck detached.International buyers are responsible for any taxes, duties, fees etc.
