Sorry to be a bit off-topic but I think there's a lot of slide involved. I know who but what guitar is that?

Thanks a heap,

Looks like a 60's Teisco. Don't know the model but sure looks like Teisco pickups and switches.

Found it. Google Teisco Zim Gar and look through the images.

It's a Teisco SD4L.

To me, the shirt's far more impressive than the guitar.

Slide guitar is absolutely not off-topic.

These are cool and hard to find guitars.

That's a Teisco SS-4L from 1964. I believe they sold for about $79 back then.

(Teisco made a TON of 4-pickup guitars.)

It's an SD4L, not an SS4L - different body shape.

Teisco actually made a few "higher end" electrics, that were of better quality than most of the common ones you see out there.. they go for some stupid money these days.

This guy played a Teisco for years back in the day and he wasn't too bad of a player..

the guitar was a teisco T-60... handmade, set neck, and good enough to be played on stage and in the studio in the hands of a truly world class player.... bob

You are correct Noah; my apologies.

I know who is wearing the shirt, and is pretty good at handling a Teisco and sliding on them.. Ryland Cooder.
