Northwest Vintage Guitars brings you an extremely rare survivor Teisco EP-13 Hollowbody with those legendary early Teisco pickups that sound so fantastic with a deep warmth that is so inviting. The neck is huge and amazing starting at 1.1” and growing to 1.2 at the 10th. A handful to be sure. Easy playing very flat radius more than 20” but not completely flat. There’s been some work over the years but it remains a great players grade instrument.
It needed the bridge and saddle shaved to get 1.5mm low action and still have acceptable break over. It plays cleanly up and down the neck with very little buzzing when lean into it but overall no crazy wonkiness to the frets or fretboard. It’s not perfect, but very much a player. There is a little more relief in the treble side, but it sets up and plays very well with no divots in the frets and a decent polish. No truss rod. The pick guard and volume pot have been replaced. Some of the tuner shafts are bent but function as they should. There are some loose braces behind the bridge. None of this affects playability. Comes safely packed in the rough vintage case in the photos.
There are scattered scratches, dings, dents, and weather checking as pictured. It remains a great player.
