~1960 Domino Teisco Red Orange Short Scale Guitar

‘60’s Japanese Domino Teisco Guitar

Summary: This little short scale beast is resonant, light weight, hard to find and fun to play! We have done some fret work and brought this guy into its optimal playing abilities. This is a beautiful funky little guitar that has a really nice tone. It’s a great player and needs a good home!

Our research hasn’t been able pin down the exact model or brand, but it resembles a Teisco built Burns Bison/Baldwin style guitar even though it has a Domino logo on the pickguard…which may or may not be accurate.

Body: Fiesta red body with a double cutaway design and possibly modified w/b/w pickguard.

Neck: Slim fiesta red, short scale neck with a nice dark rosewood fretboard, 21 frets, pearl dots and adjustable truss rod. Scale length- 23 ½” Nut width- 1 11/16”

Pickups/Hardware: The single coil pickup sounds great. It has clarity and a nice, round, bell like tone. It has 1 volume and 1 tone, adjustable Teisco style bridge, cool metal knobs, Teisco style bar string tree and individual nickel tuners. The electronics all work but the tone knob works in the opposite direction.

Cosmetics: This little guy is in great shape for its age. There are a few small dings in the finish, slight drips in the finish in a few places, some pen markings around the pickguard on the body and some cuts in the pickguard but overall it’s in great shape and looks awesome.

Playability: This guitar plays very nicely. It has had some fretwork and has been set up by our in house luthier. The action is low it has a new set of 10 gauge strings.

Modifications: Refinished and the pickguard looks like it was cut and modified. The Domino decal may or may not be original.

Weight: 4lbs, 15oz.

Case: This guitar does not come with a case but will ship packed padded and insured. This is a beautiful funky little guitar with a great unique sound that needs a good home.
