Very impressive and expressive instrument. It sounds wonderful on "Only the Young" and "Sukiyaki." I'd love to hear you play an original instrumental with it.
Nice job on the Teiscocaster, enjoyed your playing. It's funny that that guitar still sounds like a Telecaster with completely different hardware. I put a set of those pickups into a '60's American Harmony solidbody and they're great. Planning to wax-pot them so they're not so microphonic, and I grounded the covers. The output on mine isn't too terribly low, about like the stock Mexican Fender pickups. Very satisfied with the sound, especially through an old tube Ampeg.
i have a 1971 Kay K-2T that has the same pickups. it's surprising that your guitar sounds so much like a Telecaster, but when you tapped on the pickups...it sounds just like mine did.
yes, "did". i replaced the stock pickups with DiMarzios (PAF and Dual Sound) back in '78.
I love your guitar, I just received a teisco spectrum guitar for my 40th birthday, and those pickups are very micrphinoc , as are yours, which I really like...I have to replace the tremolo, which is ok since they sell them at guitar fetish, thanks for showing this video! very cool sound
whats the song at 2:01?

Wow!you did it.
I've been wanting to switch to a Tele,possibly a Strat, but with a Teisco-type tremolo.
I tried an old Teisco and LOVE that tremolo,it's simple but it feels more natural than a Bigsby or a Strat tremolo.
Nice work.

¡Gracias por tu opinión!
Ahora mismo estoy haciendo otra "guarda rasguños" color negro. Es muy difícil, pues no se consigue en ningún lado.
Eso de armar una guitarra con piezas de Ebay entretiene muchísimo.

Nice guitar. Hope you can enjoy it for YEARS to come! Can you tell me what's typical for the Teisco del Rey pickups?
Keijz74 2 years ago
Low output single coil.
Commonly favored by guitar players that like Surf instrumental music.
Also favored by slide guitar players.
JGarcia658 2 years ago
Aha I see. Thanks for your reaction.
Keijz74 2 years ago
Nice Surfcaster!
Keijz74 2 years ago
Well I think with a tone like that slide playing it would sound great.

Thanks for posting!
I put the guitar together from parts I bought here and there. It was a lot of fun to put it together.
I think I am going to install a black pick guard. It will look better than red.
