Jay Robinson acquired this 1966 Teisco EP-200-L a few years back from an online classified ad. “After a whole lot of back and forth with the seller, we agreed on a price. I was pretty shocked when I arrived to meet him—he no older than 13. Thankfully his mom was with him, and she helped explain why he was selling it. (I wouldn’t have bought it otherwise!) When he handed it to me, the neck was off and both pickups were unattached. I guess he had placed them together for the ad photo. I happily paid the $60 and took it home. After a few hours’ work, I had a sweet vintage axe that I enjoy to this day!”
