Overview
The Teisco ET-230 Sharkfin is one of the most recognizable and collectible Japanese-made guitars of the 1960s, loved for its quirky style, unique tonal character, and unmistakable retro cool factor. The exaggerated offset body, chrome-laden hardware, and slim neck profile give the ET-230 a vibe all its own — raw, bright, microphonic in the best way, and full of garage-rock personality.
With its dual single-coil pickups, roller bridge, and classic on/off slider switching, the Sharkfin is perfect for surf, lo-fi rock, blues grit, indie textures, and creative recording work. It’s a guitar that stands out visually and sonically — imperfect, expressive, and inspiring in the way only a true vintage Teisco can be.
