Gotta hand it to the Japanese

Nathan Laudenbach · From: Montana

Check it out! This thing is really sweet, I just got it so I wanted to share some pictures here on the forum. I think it's a Teisco from the 70's. Considering the price I paid, and the quality of this guitar I don't think you can beat it.

Cool looking steel. Sounds?

Nice score, Nathan. Guyatones have such a cool look and sound. And those gold foil pickups are legendary. I have a blonde D-8 G'tone.
Check out this huge thread on Guyatone steels ---> http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=1295472

As far as the sound, to my ears, G'tones sound more raw and "nasal" than other steel guitars.

Here are some recordings I made using Guyatones:

Cool find Nathan ... some of those old Japanese steels can be real gems.

Thanks for the replies guys. This thing does sound great. Not sure if you can see in the pictures, the pickup selector switch reads "Mike sw." Gotta love it.
