Vintage 1950's DALLAS TUXEDO Electric Guitar Teisco Vox Kay

Now this one is REALLY rare. The Dallas Tuxedo was the FIRST electric guitar made in Britain. The guitar was made out of a single piece of wood (neck through) and has various Vox/Burns/Fenton/Weil parts, (not to mention it had Italian made pots). Unfortunately the guitar in the video was painted red by someone, over the original white body which would have been bound in black and had a "Tuxedo" script logo on the top bout. Disregard the poor playing and sound quality.

A Dallas Tuxedo was found in John Lennon's home as well.

it's like it misses one fret at 11

[terser]

Yeah, I forgot to mention that, it was missing it's 11th fret. It still sold well though given it's rarity.

What are the defects of this guitar (apart from the missing fret and red paint).

If it is made of one piece of wood is there no truss rod?

A bowed neck would be a terminal physical defect, but is that all?

Stack Shock Billy :)

Where did u get the guitar?

[InflatableDuck]

Hey! Stack Shot Billy! I'm from Akron, so naturally the Black Keys is the only thing we're proud of.

Nice playing. I just bought a Dallas Tuxedo. Can I be in your gang? :0)

This guitar is ultra rare, but almost unplayable. A nice guitar to look at and talk about, but when it comes to playing, forget it. It was after all, the cheapest electric guitar you could buy at one time. Don't pay big money for a dream!.
