Better start hoarding those Teiscos - check this out - SS4-L goes for $565 on ebay

I haven't been tracking eBay sales much lately but I guess the low end market is coming back faster than the high end stuff. Check out this Teisco SS4-L that went for $565 + $40 shipping on March 16th. Heck, it doesn't even have the Teisco logo on the headstock. LOL!

Now, we all know the reason this was such a popular item - the particular gold foils in this guitar with the screw poles on the outside (vs. the center) are the most desireable of the Teisco pickups. But they still aren't worth over $100 each! Or are they?

I had an SS4L baritone that I sold about 4 years ago and I was happy to get $200 bucks for it back then. Hard to believe they have gone up this much since then.

Please don't call, contact, bother or harass these sellers long after their post is expired. Take for granted if the listing is over 30 days old that the guitar or amp is LONG GONE! Thank you.
