Teisco del rey tg 64
It really sets that headstock shape off nicely.

The 4/2 headstock is a classic design now and I've always loved headstock plates, especially on these. It's a 24.75" scale which is of course between a Jag and a JM.and feels good on this shape. The bolt on neck is the same as most Teiscos from this period and feels VERY comfortable. The slightly longer, more pronounced top horn, with the nice contour makes the guitar different enough from a JM/Jag shape and of course the monkey grip really sets it apart from almost everything else. Having said that, they are VERY comfortable to play, and the shape is one of my favourite offset influenced guitar designs. I've never been able to definitively work out what the body timber is, and they're a big body, but this one is heavy. I have owned a few of these over the years and they're always quite weighty, but this one is down right heavy. Early versions and the bass (more on that soon) had the volume knob on the big pickup scratchplate and the tone and output jack on the small control plate. The scratchplate was always a two piece with the control part being black anodised aluminium with a few (very) rare ones having black pickup plates as well. The TG-64 first appeared with all the trimmings of the other early/mid 60's Teiscos of the day with a blank aluminium scratchplate and early plate style vibrato initially, however it was introduced with the new 4/2 headstock, originally with a more Fender round end, and then quickly moved to the more common "hook" end, but never carried the 6 a side from previous models. The T-60 was a solid body "offset" influenced guitar with a set neck and 3 Teisco pickups. Early ones (like Glens) also had a monkey grip in the headstock as well, which was dropped on later versions and wouldn't carry over to the 64.

The T-60 was to be made famous by one Glen Campbell who favoured one over bigger brands in the early 60's. The (now) famous T-60 was first produced in 1960 and although it was a different shape, it had the monkey grip cut in the body. By the time the TG-64 came along in 1964 Teisco were no stranger to the "monkey grip" in the body.
