Yep, it's a Teisco, and they have a lot of model numbers, but people usually refer to them as shark fins. I think it's one of the coolest designs of 1960s Japanese guitars, and these were pretty good quality. But like Tqi says, the prices for these are now crazy. |

I don't know how the quality compares or how accurate they are, but Eastwood makes some near-replica Teisco shapes. Example: https://eastwoodguitars.com/products/ichiban-sharkfin-k4l — |
