I remember these so well. A store in my town used to sell these. They had one that had 4 pickups. I think they only cost a couple of hundred dollars but back in the 60's that was a lot of money. It kind of sounds like a Strat and I think some bands in our area did use these for Surf Music.
And furthermore she's completly unable to play. She only bought it back in the 60s to hang it on the wall for decades! And now it is abandoned on the attic. :(
Granted, I am not a good player like you but my dad had one. The neck felt like a log and no matter what I did, change strings or adjust the action, it felt as though I was strumming steel bars.
Hey, I love your demo videos. I just listed one of these exact guitars on ebay. I hope you don't mind if I link to you! And that lovely color is Lake Placid Blue. Also, check my videos, I build some pretty cool Vintage style tube amps and have some demos here on youtube. BluesWilliam
Those Teisco tremolos stay in tune VERY well if you set them up correctly...plus you can bend chords sharp,there's so much charm in some of those Teiscos with those tremolos.
Teisco kicks ass over anything else for the price.I paid 130 for one that llokls like a 2 pickup sunburst strat BUT with mahogany neck and thin resonant body just a couple days ago...can't wait to get it.
if you want a reissue, the Eastwood Ichiban guitar looks almost exactly the same, and plays pretty similar too. It has mini humbuckers but still has a close sound.
yeah, gud stuff..i hav Teisco too..mine is sunburst n born in 1964..n still in gud working condition, yup, bright sound n really nice vintage axe..cheers
sorry i misread your comment I thought you said it was kahler and i was like woah what the crap is he on i don't often double check stuff. yeah i don't think its a bigsby but I'm still fucking stupid
K Mart sold these for about $60 in '66. Check out their value today! Holy smokes. I've owned nearly all Dave's showing in the Sears catologue. Man, I wish I still had them.. not just to profit by either. Some of them were truly awesome playing guitar and really simple to set up. Japan produced the highest quality electronics and optical in the world in the sixties. I see some bash this stuff.. HA! Listen to it! Standing ovations with THESE VERY GUITARS! LOL What a trip! So cool.. Yeah Baby
So very cool, I have that exact guitar. Mine has 4 pick-ups and Its sounds great, I don't have the teisco logo or the whammy bar. I think they call it a Shark Fin!
not sure if it was used in any recordings, but in the video for "Rocket" James Iha is playing one. Also there is a picture in the Pisces Iscariot album where he is holding one.
i have a one pickup teisco del rey '67... it's not so bright, and the actions a bit weird, not high but it feels diffirent, but the unique sound is awesome. Not for any kind of shredders, but a badass tone.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
nasty looking guitar.Cant understand why anyone would thumbs down you about that. I'd bet that everyperson that gave you a thumbs down if givin the choice would take an american strat over ...that
looks like schecter had some influences from teisco guitars like the one at the top left conrner looks like an avenger or the syn custom. body and headtock wise the shape really looks the same of those models
Dave, you need to put on your burgundy toughskin jeans with double re-enforced knees, and then play the Teisco guitar. Only then, you will find completeness my friend!!
Hi, I have a standard epiphone les paul just upgraded and bought a gibson. The epiphone standard is a great guitar, suffers from some fret buzz on the 20 fret but that can easily be solved. The custom and standard are both great guitars just choose your favourite they play pretty much the same. I upgraded my epiphone with seymour and duncan humbuckers which is something you might want to think about since the stock pickups are very bright.
I don't really like that guitar that much. Finish is over the top beautiful!, but it is so thin and all the robotic design on the tremelo, knobs, etc ruin it for me
It is nice to see you guys kind of bringing back that old vibe when you enjoyed making vids. For a while there it seemed like you guys were in a rut. Nice to have you back.
hey, ive seen one of these guitars before in a shop located in Northern Virginia. The name of the finish, which looks the exact same as the one I saw, is a "cerulean blue". A beautiful work of art
believe it's call Honolulu Blue...pretty sure its the home colour for the Detroit Lions;
