Is it like this one?

Need pics.

Let me know if you ever need spare parts for these, I have an intact Teisco Del Ray (tulip design) with a fucked up body I've long thought about making a new body for, but I know I'll never do it.

Tulip has a broken pickguard which I duct-taped together from underneath. Bridge pickup is noticeably quieter than neck

The one I have is completely identical to yours. I've considered giving it the lefty conversion cuz they are awesome, but balked at the idea of fucking up a nice vintage guitar even with a gashed body. You want mine as well to use for parts?

Awesome! It's got the "Ry Cooder" pickups.

That would be awesome! Is it all complete just broken in half? Could totally use it for parts.

The tailpiece is incomplete, I think, and the bridge is missing the rolly part though the post part is still there. The body is intact, it just has a huge gash along the body where the wood "came up" if that makes any sense. It looks like it was dropped or "smashed" in one spot, but otherwise it is complete. I saved it from the dumpster, I couldn't stand to see it go to a landfill as it was actually in the dumpster, in a case.

I really just don't have time to restore it properly or make a new body or any of that junk, so I can send it to ya for cost of shipping I suppose. PM me for details and I'll get it out at some point, I need to get to the Fedex store soon anyway to RMA a graphics card.

I have a set of those Teisco Tulip pickups in my Duo DelRay project.
I still need to get some wiring issues worked out but I love the way they sounded when they were in the Tulip.
Unfortunately there was some issues with the neck on the Tulip I had. I had already started the Duo so I figured
I'd kill two birds.

Is that a uke? Looks like a blast to play.
