Does it look like this?

I was intrigued because I had never heard of that model. I don't have one, (I found this Pic on the web). But, zooming in I can tell you that the bridge and nut hardware looks very similar to the the stuff on my '85 MIJ Telecaster:

I thought about building another Tele similar to mine, so I went to Warmoth.com and browsed around. The closest bridge I could find on their site was a Schaller Floyd Rose. The top tuning knobs on the bridge are a dead giveaway. My Tele also has the hex screw locking nut mounted on the headstock.

Check out their page and you will see the trem and the nut .

I and a friend of mine are working on restoring a Teisco guitar for friend of his. He lifted a pickguard shape off a picture of one and put it into AutoCAD scaled it and sent the file to a guy who can make a new one. I think Warmoth can make custom pickguards this way, if you can't find one. Might want to have a few blanks made if you go that route so you try other styles of pups if you can't locate originals. We intend to use the new pick guard as a template for clear plexiglass in order to place the pups on the Teisco, then rout out the "template" for a good fit. Man, that'll be sweet if you can restore it! Good luck!

so you're the one that won the auction huh? I tried to bid but being in Canada, it got blocked by ebay. I already have the bridge, pickups, pickguard, knobs and trem. I was going to build my own from scratch but saw that auction for the neck & body! It would have been perfect for me. If you decide to sell it, let me know!
