Can Anyone ID this Guitar by Its Logo?

I bought my first electric guitar in the mid- to late-'80s for about $100 (about $190 to $220 today) at a local discount music store. There is no manufacture's name on the guitar, only a logo on the headstock. Can anyone ID the manufacturer from this logo? I've attached a close-up of the headstock in hope of learning something about the guitar. And a front and back view of the entire guitar. in case they help ID this guitar.

The guitar originally came with a single-coil pickup, but I "hacked the guitar up" by _unskillfully_ changing it to a humbucker. I've misplaced the original pickup, unfortunately during house moves since then.

Here's a photo of the logo on the headstock:

Here's a full front view:

And the back view:

I'm hoping one of the collectors here can ID this guitar.


Thanks,

Bob

Hi there,

Looks like at Tempo or Teisco form the late 60's.

I had a couple of them in the past.

^This.

Never seen that logo before.

Whereabouts in FL are you? I live in Gainesville.

The Post Office says Melrose, but I'm closer to Keystone Heights -- so only about a half hour (depending on traffic) from the University.
