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.

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:

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.
