I just noticed that the Teisco Spectrum 5 has two input jacks. What's going on???

Wait... nevermind. It's a stereo and mono out... thought it was going to be something weirder than that.

I lol'd.

Wonder how the stereo deal works on this guitar. Maybe treble-side pickups to one channel, bass side to the other. That'd be cool to fiddle with.

I should also add that I think these are one of the most beautiful guitars ever made, and that I want one. And one of the Baritones with the monkey grip.

Definitely nifty for Local H-style root note octave pedallin', or some far weirder stuff.

Input, Output... you all know what I'm talking about. But pardon my confusion.


I'm guessing all you can do is plug them both in and get the sound of 2 guitars out of 1.. toss in some effects for extra weirdness.

Based on the split pickups, I'd definitely say it was an output for the bass strings and an output for the treble strings.

I was just looking at the Local H guy's guitar (with the bass strings pickup and output, 'n all), and came across this:

Although he went for a second output from the E string only, I like the fact he's removed it from the tailpiece to allow whammyin' without ruining his root note.

String changing must suck.

Whyyyyyyyy? It looks like the thick E just hooks into the tailpiece plate, dead easy.
