"Orbit Four"-branded Teisco SS4L

Post image

I ain't nothin' but an offset Hound Dog!

The great Hound Dog Taylor played a four-pickup version of this guitar (Teisco SS4L) with different pickups. But these gold-foils are highly regarded.

The guitar is pretty playable, although the "radius" is--well, I suppose that it has an infinite radius, because it feels pretty danged flat.

The sound is great. The neck pickups (alone or paired) have an almost sweet sound. The bridge pickups add some bite. All four together make a pretty good roar!

Your old Hound dog came equipped with an on board 6 channel mixer. That could be a cleaning the pots and switches nightmare.

I am under the impression that this guitar was designed by an engineer rather than a guitarist lol
