Unknown model Tiesco guitar, with gold foil pickups as used by Ry Cooder on his Strat. My first go at some slide in an open tuning. Early days, I'm a slide-learner. Going through an (early) Ibanez Tube Screamer, and Holy Grail reverb on the way to my 60's Silvertone 1472 amp
Very enjoyable, thanks for posting it.
Teisco's rule for sliding, especially the SS-4Ls.
As an FYI, your pickup is not the same type of pickup used by Ry. His '59 Guyatone SS-4L and his '60 Strat use the SS-4L gold foils. 4 on the Guyatone, the neck on the Strat.
Much stronger pickup, best Teisco ever used. Layout is Screws-Slots-Dots. They go for $100-110 on the rare times they come up for sale.
Not slamming your pups, I have 2 guitars with them.

Very nice and strong slide sound. Hey, I have been learning slide on an old acoustic, and decided to go electric. I couldn't get my strat or Washburn really sounding right, frets were buzzing, etc, even after raising action. So, I remembered I had an old Teisco someone gave me just sitting there because really didn't sound good. BUT WHEN I raised the strings up and started playing slide through that TEISCO, I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. The tone was fantastic; are Teisco's great sliders? if notWhat is?

The sound of that guitar has definately got something special about it - i think it sounds amazing, pretty good stuff for a first go at slide playing too (i've just begun dabbling in that vicinity myself, seems a bit like learning violin, either puts you on a cloud or melts yer teeth an there's not much inbetween)

NICE! I have one of those pickups lurking at the bottom of a parts drawer...this gives me the incentive to stick it in something.
