Also, Is this dude an idiot? Should I buy buy buy?

Try & buy.

Looks a lot like a Teisco somethingorather.

Looks like a Teisco for sure. Good price if the neck is playable and the pu's and electronics are in working order.

Could be a Tiesco Tulip.
Could be a Kawai.
Could be anything really.

That's *exactly* like my first electric guitar. It was unlabeled, but I always figured it was a Kay. So many company names were applied to guitars like these; Silvertone, Norma, Kimberly, Teisco, etc. Back in the day most folks considered these to be pieces of crap that sometimes had a limited useful function. Now they're retro kewl.

I remember seeing literally piles of these types of guitars in junk stores for $20 a pop. Dozens of em chucked in a corner, take your pick.
