Anybody know what guitar this is? Bought it in Belgium pretty cheap some years ago.
Im guessing Teisco because I have seen one almost identical, but mine does not have any text on it...

Yeah, I have a Teisco incredibly similar to this guy so that would be my bet

Yeah, it sorta looks like an older E-100, but I've never seen a pickguard like that. (That pickguard's huge and awseome.)

That guitar also looks like it's really short scale. What's the scale length on it?

18.

The neck is pretty fat, and its not intonated at all. Wanna make it more playable, now it pretty much just sits there...

That's freakin' tiny.

Are you sure about that? It looks short, but not that short. I was thinking probably 20" or 22". If it's really 18", then it's truly a 3/4 scale guitar.

NIce. I love small guitars.

Yeah, you should fix it up.

Any info on the insides when you take it apart? Like the neck heel, behind the truss rod or anything?

No need. I'm telling you, it's a pre-'65 Teisco E-100 variant (or something close enough to it).

Hey, we can't all be magical men in here, flouting away with our psychic powers and Tiesco E-100 wands...

:lol: Sorry, didn't mean to totally discount your suggestion, but I'm reasonably sure that's what it is. :hug: Trust me on this one. :hobbes:
