the tiesco i got a couple weeks ago(found in a dumpster, missing parts) is amazing! i had to completely level and crown the frets and set it up and fashion a bridge out of home depot materials but its an amazing lil guitar and sounds fantastic! diff pickups, but its still a great guitar, the fretting is far superior than the newer guitars, blind fret ends and what not, the only downsides to the one i have (its a tulip model) is the pups aren't ajustable so i had to shim the neck with the neck plate just to clear the bridge pickup. and there are no side dots, the tuners are a bit on the tight side, but seeing as how they are open gear/40+ years old, its completely acceptable, and the pots and switches are completely untouched and still work just fine.
it was found in a dumpster and its still nicer than a squier bullet.
