Teisco EP-15 late 50's - natural

This late 1950s Teisco EP-15 in a natural finish is a striking example of vintage Japanese craftsmanship, with a design that stands out for both its aesthetics and tone. The hollow body, constructed from laminated maple, has aged gracefully, giving the natural finish a rich patina that highlights the guitar’s unique grain. The size and lightweight build make it comfortable to hold, with a vintage vibe that instantly transports you back to the golden era of early electric guitars.

The set maple neck and rosewood fretboard provide a comfortable, familiar feel, with a slightly chunkier profile typical of the late 1950s, perfect for players who like a more substantial neck in hand. Outfitted with a 3 single coil pickups, this EP-15 delivers a surprisingly versatile tone. You get a crisp, punchy sound with plenty of high-end clarity when played clean, and a gritty, lo-fi growl when pushed through overdrive—ideal for old-school rock, blues, or surf tones.

The floating bridge and vintage-style tailpiece let you coax out expressive bends while the minimalist controls keep things simple, letting the guitar’s natural tone shine through. Chrome hardware and original knobs complete the look, rounding out this guitar’s distinctive, mid-century aesthetic.

For anyone looking to add some serious vintage flair to their collection, this Teisco EP-15 is an absolute gem—full of character, with a tone and style that make it a true time capsule from the early days of electric guitar innovation!
