Three things make the design unique: first, I've never seen controls quite like those on an ES-335 copy. Four knobs and a toggle mounted directly to the body is what Gibson, and all of the clones I'm familiar with, use. Second, it appears you've got single coils, where ES-335 clones all use humbuckers. The third thing is the type of tuners... most guitars of this body design copy Gibson's use of pearlized tuner buttons, and these look like plain nickel.

I haven't been able to find anything quite like it in my searches so far, but I'll keep digging. I think you are on track. Those pickups look REAL close to the Teisco single coil pickups. The rest doesnt look like one, but mabe it was a diferent branch of the company that made copys, or a diferent company that used Teisco pickups in the guitars they made.]]> Guitar Players Discussion s1120 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-identification-5/#post-384216 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-identification-5/#post-384211 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 07:44:58 +0000

OK, I'm finding the serial number indicates 1990 1991. The early 80's are what I'm thinking of but looks like a nice guitar. Fender's site said K with 6 digits 1990 1991.]]> Guitar Players Discussion TRGuitar https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-identification-5/#post-384208 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-identification-5/#post-384205 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 19:14:08 +0000 ]]> Guitar Players Discussion chrisps2576 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-identification-5/#post-384205 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-identification-5/#post-384203 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 17:58:04 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-identification-5/#post-384203 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-identification-5/#post-45002 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 00:46:38 +0000
