Disregard the poor sound quality and playing.
I don’t really know much about Orpheum guitars. It’s American, from the 50’s or 60’s, and well made. Originally would have had Klusons and no pickup. Spruce top, checkered binding. Has an added 1960’s Dearmond pickup. Nice guitars, plays well.

Now this one is REALLY rare. The Dallas Tuxedo was the FIRST electric guitar made in Britain. The guitar was made out of a single piece of wood (neck through) and has various Vox/Burns/Fenton/Weil parts, (not to mention it had Italian made pots). Unfortunately the guitar in the video was painted red by someone, over the original white body which would have been bound in black and had a “Tuxedo” script logo on the top bout. Disregard the poor playing and sound quality.
A Dallas Tuxedo was found in John Lennon’s home as well.
