So exactly what this is escapes me- any info email me and I'll post. By then Teisco was using the"striped" metal pickguard commonly associated with them- this obviously features plastic- and a lot of it. The pickups look Kawai- they bought Teisco in the late 60's. Also Teisco was at the forefront of 4-pickup production. Note headstock pix- there's a vague shadow and 2 brad holes where a large plate attached like you see on old Teisco products whatever their brand. May have to ship neck off to some destinations. Ships in US $30 or less- overseas check below and calculate. By the way, there was a guy in the UK recently trying for over $500 for the bass version of this- I have no such illusions- starting it low and we'll see what happens. so you ladies looking for a flashy stage or video guitar might want to think about this. It's definitely an eye-catcher, and it only. Remember we're talking Resistance here, not Inductance- factors such as larger wire can make a unit read low- they sound fine- typical Teisco.
#YOUTUBE RYUICHI SAKAMOTO SERIES#
Pickups ohm out at about 2.5K each and they appear to be in series when both are on. No fret or play wear- such damage as there is appears to be from age and storage issues. The neck scale is about 23 1/2" and it's dead straight and easy to play- not big and clunky. It has a little finish damage to the points- like all pointy guitars- and there are 2 extra holes- now plugged and touched up, on the edge where someone moved the strap buttons around. Hardware, and especially the stripey aluminum guard are Teisco hallmarks. This Jetson's-looking thing is a 60's Teisco product branded Kingston- imported by Westheimer of NY.
This tuneful time-machine is ready to plug in and rip the walls off your garage.
