Making instruments has been a dream of mine for many years. I believe I have built a high quality, affordable instrument that is not your common electric 6-string guitar. The charm of this instrument is its uniqueness. It can sound very much like a mandolin but has standard 6-12 string tuning. It will add a special sonic dimension to your music that nothing else can fill. This makes it a great addition to your tone arsenal.
Check out the PICS for some examples of the TEO ss12 (short scale octave 12 string) guitars I have built so far. We will have more pics up asap.
Also check back for audio clips of the ss12 being used on various CDs.

"The chime and shimmer from a TEO guitar is something to behold. This guitar
has the kind of sustain where notes and chords bloom and hang in the air.
Like the best of instruments, it inspires creativity and begs for a song or
at the very least a fantastic part to leap out of it. The day it arrived I
started writing and recording with it and I look forward to gracing many
future tracks with it's beautifully unique texture. Along with it's solid
construction, eye catching aesthetics and ease of playability, The TEO is a
complete winner I'll be recommending to all my guitar playing brethren."
Greg V. (Double Trouble, Buddy Miles, Colin Hay, Ronnie Montrose....)
Quote: 'Terry makes a very inspiring instrument, my TEO SS12 makes my eyes roll into the back of my head, soaring into the zone....
Ric Hordinski (Monk, former Over the Rhine, etc)
Quote: ' i've been using the Teo octave twelve string on every record i produce or play on. (i have to resist the temptation to use it on every song...) it is remarkably flexible and provides texture in an area that nothing else fills. we used it all over the new David Wilcox record and it gave the entire project a unique flavor. It's a great instrument'
Drop by my page my friend. I posted a video and MP3 of me doing one of the hottest versions of “Voodoo Child” that you’ll ever hear.....guaranteed to make you smile! …..and you can download the MP3 for free!
Sometimes when you see instuments of this type they are not well made and you can't keep them in tune. THIS is a TOTAL CLASS and VERY WELL MADE Guitar. I am totally impressed. Plus it looks cool.
