Teisco, Vox teardrop look-a-like

[Crusader]

That's pretty..

[Crusader]

Looks very much like my Maton L202 that I am going to restore

Wow, there's another one to look at for reference. I hadn't seen many teardrops before, now I've seen lots of them, different brands and all.

Nice, love Vox's, I've had my eye on this one for a long time

Bloody hell! How many knobs are on that thing?

The Maton L202 ( unbutchered and not mine )

And my L202, butchered when I thought pointy things with humbuckers and cigarette paper high frets were cool

These are a chambered guitar with the F holes painted on and very small, so will resurrect in something like original for my grandkids

nice one DK, painted on F holes are much easier than real ones haha
Can't work out the tuner holes on the headstock, is it an 8 string ?

[Crusader]

all these pictures are really making me want to build one..

Gday Wok,

The pearloid tip came off the E1 tuner and I got sick of tuning it with a pair of pliers and had a set of 3 a side Schaller tuners in a box, so with a touch of possibly enhanced thinking a hacksaw a pistol drill and a blue and white apron it became a pointy headstock which made the HBs mandatory ( it was around 1973 )

dave.king1 would you be able to send me some data on your Matron please?

body dimensions, and scale length if possible please.

I don't have one at hand to check.

Gday Neil,

I'll measure it up over the weekend and post here, but also bear in mind I'm just up the road from you at Loftus if you want a close look at it

OK, didn't think about that.
Thanks,
