Teisco

edit: I think it's a Spectrum 2 model.

extra edit: the wood in those necks is garbage - you can easily break the neck in half with bare hands if there's even a small crack. However, the PUPs are AWESOME.

I would say a dual pickup version of this:

I have one of them, and they sound amazing. Mines cost £35, not as good as $5, but still a good bargain, i would say.

Looks like a Tiesco or a Silvertone ( which would make it a Tiesco ) . Even kinda looks like a Harmony H802 . They were prolly all made by Tiesco anyway.
