Measuring about a half foot longer than a Stratocaster, this tall drink of water weighs just over five pounds! One could easily do an entire gig on this guitar. But while it may seem a bargain, just remember that you’ll undoubtedly have to take it to a good luthier to make it play as good as it looks. Suffice to say, the Del Rey EP-10T hasn’t quite appreciated in value the same way an early ’60s Strat has. If you find one that’s stock, in great cosmetic condition and set up nicely, it could easily set you back about a thousand bucks. When new, it listed for about $70, or roughly a quarter of what a Fender Stratocaster was going for in the early ’60s. The Del Rey EP-10T is one of the more collectible Teiscos. And either due to the headstock angle or the absence of tall frets, there isn’t much sustain, a common issue with many vintage budget guitars. The pickups are so microphonic that they squeal even at low volumes. With both pickups on, however, we were rewarded with a full-bodied “macho acoustic guitar” rhythm sound that was a blast to play.Īs for using distortion, forget it. Once the guitar was plugged in, the bridge pickup setting proved to be bright and garagey, while the neck setting was rather muted and almost too bassy.

You never know what you’re going to get with a 50-plus-year-old guitar, and the Del Rey EP-10T was no exception to the rule. Ping - Amanda Palmer playing her relabelled 'Kurtweill' piano.
