A local pawn shop has a cool looking Montaya pseudo-Mosrite guitar. They're asking $125, but I think I could talk them down.

It looks way cool, but they didn't have an amp to plug into. Couldn't see a tag anywhere that stated the country of origin, but I'm guessing it's Korean or Japanese. Has a faux-bigsby.

I didn't have a camera with me, but I found an identical one on Fleabay (here's the link)

Anybody have any info on these? Google turned up next to nothing. It looks like it would be a fun guitar to fix up/mod.

Pics from the above auction:

I swear some one jus bought/ sold one of those... To Inscho maybe?

thats th same bridge trem thing thats on tracy's silvertone.
the look of it looks like tiesco, probly made in the fame factory.

I jus noticed the awesome guitar case w/ crookedness for the headstock.

My teisco has the same case.

Looks MIJ, but could be MIK. Almost nothing about them online.

Is it wirth getting, or will it cause me more problems than joy? I've never owned one of these types of guitars.

it's not worth $120. maybe half that much. it's not really worth modding as nothing about it is quality really. the only thing of interest about it is the pickups really. and those pickups aren't even that great as these teisco style guitars go.

I had one similar to that years ago, never worked right. became wall art
