![]() The single pickup was unlike anything I’d ever seen. He was able to close up the cracks with a humidity bag and add cleats to stabilize the areas. Scott’s been fixing old Martin guitars for years and is pretty much a master guitar tech/luthier. What it did develop over the years were several stable cracks in the top and bottom. The guitar was in good condition overall and was structurally sound in many ways. This EP-3 was sitting in Scott’s shop when we decided to fix it up and get it playable again. One of his good friends was Jim Fisch (author and guitar collector) and this Teisco was one of the last of Jim’s big collection of vintage hollowbody guitars. Scott has been owning Top Shelf Music in Buffalo NY for many years now, and people, he’s one of “us.” The guy is super knowledgeable and appreciates the odd, interesting, and rare. Just to find something like this EP-3, or know that it still exists and can play music, is astounding to me! Seriously, I love bringing guitars like this back to life! Now sometimes a guitar’s needs are just beyond me, and that’s where Scott Frielich comes in to the picture. ![]() Part of what makes this hobby of mine so rewarding is to help resurrect guitars like this one.
