Up for sale, a 1999 Guyatone Telstar model LG-160T in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. A reissue of one of the more visually distinctive ‘60s Guyatone models, this Telstar features a prominent cutout at the bass-side lower bout and a gloss Pearl White finish.
The stock pair of single coil pickups feature ceramic magnet construction: potent and full-sounding, these pickups have plenty of power and harmonic content, yielding a smooth, broad tone at the neck and a focused twang at the bridge. This Telstar LG-160T is featherweight at 6lbs 5oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 11-49 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
