Teisco ET-460 / K4L Del Ray Shark Fin 1966 Blue

Up for grabs is this highly collectible Teisco Del Ray ET-460 "Shark Fin" model. These guitars are just sooooo cool! A wall of 4 single coil pickups, each with individual kill switches, a 3 position tone rotary switch, zero fret, and the 4+2 Shark Fin shaped head stock were all features way ahead of their time. All the electronics work perfectly and sound great. The neck is straight and there are a couple of spots with a bit of buzz - particularly around the 1st string 12-14th frets. The frets show some wear but have life left in them. There is very little wear on the top, back and neck - most is on the edges of the body (see pictures), and the head stock which was notched with a serial number and lost its Teisco sticker at some point. The 22nd fret is also missing.

This guitar goes beyond wall dressing, it's a great player and looks dynamite on stage - they just don't make anything close anymore. It has been set up with new Daddario strings and is ready to rock. Includes a rugged gig bag. Let me know if you have any questions, thanks for looking.

Hideousness from the past! With a poop machete!

The body shape and colors are awesome. Too many pick ups and switches, knobs and other assorted hardware on the pick guard for me though.

 

[Aahzz]

I do have to admit that I like the color.

Disgusting poopknife toy

 

[Chad]

do the 2 middle pickups cancel out the #middlepickupfailboat?

 

[BuzzBaloo]

That looks pretty clean and well-made for a 50+ year old Teisco. I originally though it was a repro.

Not really my thing, but I don't hate it.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Absolutely not.

 

[frunobulax]

wow, no.

 

[Tig]

Because fuck you, that's why!

 

[bsman]

I would rock out on Blitzkrieg Bop with that thing. I'll bet it weighs 12 pounds.

[Psychotronic]

Nope.

This is going to be a long week.

 

[Flamencology]

Hot.

 

[jp_nyc]

Love it.

 

[LeftyTom]

I like it!

 

[telecaster911]

If that had 1 P90 that would be killer. Dig the 4+2 before 4+2 was a thing!

 

[Lerxst]

There's a lot going on there. I'm not sure what I think about this one.

I have a real thing for vintage 60s guitars. I will make an exception for this one, though the color is indeed cool. The four pickups just turn me off. Makes me think it was designed by Gillette.
