Vintage 1969 TEISCO DEL RAY '69 ET-200 Red Tulip w/ tremolo

[nkordus]

TVRobot1, I have one also made in Taiwan, and not Japan.

[TVRobot1]

Is it made in Japan or Taiwan because I'm eyeballing one on eBay but the gu says it's made in Taiwan and I've never heard of Teiscos being made in Taiwan.

[maximco1050]

just tune it, please!

[stratobagster]

"still stays in tune...kinda..." LOL! NO, it does NOT stay in tune. It has the intonation of a fishing pole, my friend. It's a piece of flare for the wall in some cheesy Hard Rock knock off somewhere. Get a used Ibanez for about the same coin and you'll have a much better guitar. Or, just get a Strat. Can't go wrong with a Strat.

[psychodamned]

@stratobagster yeah but strats are boring. You can doctor these fuckers up n they give a really grungey garage sound. After all Jack White uses crappy old guitars n he gets a really great sound after he's tinkered with em :D

[CraigSpannier]

@stratobagster You're talking about staying in tune with a strat? I hope you mean no whammy.

[sheepbaneindmin]

its not a metal guitar, stop hurting it!!!!!!

[portamenteff]

someone gave me that same model. It needs wiring, but it's a cool old rig.

[jharri1]

Neck was like a baseball bat!

[jharri1]

Wow! The memories THIS brings back! Bought mine (1st guitar-same model-sunburst) back in 1980 for $60. Horrible guitar but I'd love to have it back!

[jgrimsley2000]

This was one of my first guitars (green mettallic.) Yhe pickups were so microphonic that you talk through them and it would come out of the amp. The intonation was pretty awful, too. I traded it for a Lafayette fuzzbox and a Guyatone tremolo pedal. I wish I still had those pedals. I don't miss the guitar.

[choynovsky]

didn't expect blink182 :D

[bobbybobbinson]

DAMN. I want that guitar

[Bobbymitchell10]

i have one of these and a matching bass that my dad bought new and then never learned how to play so there like mint how much would you estimate the pair?

[gageman70]

@Bobbymitchell10 Depending on condish I'd say at least $200 a piece

[thestig1214]

I'm fixing up what looks like a older EP-7. Anyone know where I can get some Tremolo or Pickguard parts?

[merickson3006]

I've seen then go in the west Michigan area for $45

[bug0292]

Josh homme has one of those,

I just love the headstocks on those

[mouthbreather1]

A guitar store nearby got one of these & they're selling it for $200 with its original case. Fucking beautiful guitar; sunburst , looks to be in perfect condition. I've been lusting after these for a wihle. But should I splurge & get it?

[AirHendrix91]

Yeah, a guitar store in Hawley, PA sells these for mad cheap like around $220 or $180.

Anyway, set it up for $30 bucks and have fun with it, I'd say if you like it, like how it plays, do it.

[aToutLeMonde213]

can you explain how the vibrato unit works? sorry to be a pest beautiful guitar btw, id kill to have it

[guitarsbunch347]

dude u can buy these on ebay 4 like 60 bucks

[bigczech7]

I love the way they look sounds wierd.

[darrenandsarah123]

my grandad has a Del ray but its kind of beat up. are these guitars worth much money today if they're in decent shape?

[ASTROAVERY]

nope haha. sorry

[partyboy93]

tune it first

[videopimp]

its not a metal guitar

turn off the distortion and play it properly

[AdrienGuitarPlayer]

no such thing as a " metal guitar". its all in how you play

[pastorkev777]

xxx666js666xx That sounds like a Teisco Spectrum 2!

[xx666js666xx]

could you do me a favor? look at my page, and look at the video of my dad's guitar. im trying to find out what model it is. i was just wondering if you could shed some light on the mystery of the guitar.

[xx666js666xx]

ok, still in shock over here. That is the exact guitar that my dad has, except it doesnt have the tulip design, and it's sunburst.....

dude, youre awesome! keep up the good playing!

[woundedwomb]

can somebody tell me if these things stay in tune often? especially with the tremolo bar?

[Sandman1832]

Know I have a Del Rey that I have to check tuning weekly depending on how often I play it. For a vintage thou I have to keep playing it cause its pretty cool for what they had back then.

[jungleF]

yeah I have one that has a sunburst finish, it was given to me, it was my Uncle's who passed away. But for some reason when I put the volume up on either the volume of the guitar or amp with this guitar it give a bad feedback squeal it there any way I can fix that?

[jordanzed]

They have very microphonic pickups so they do give feedback, especially with distortion.

[billclintonshiteater]

I have a 60's model ET-200 Sunburst, Just got an original whammy of E-bay, Going to restore the entire thing, its lightwieght and sounds good.

[hendrixrocks4]

how much is this guitar worth i might be getting one and would like to know the proper price to pay.

[4321Blastoff]

Check eBay. They have a red ET-200 same as this up there at 135 dollars right now. You should be about to pick up a Teisco for under 100. They all pretty much have the same silver pickups. Good that old garage rock 60's sound.

[MirokuKneda]

Did you make up that last part you played on this stunning guitar?

[MirokuKneda]

Never mind! Though, I can't believe you played Blink 182. :)

[washtubbass]

CHEERS!

[lilrednova]

Thank you so much for this video, dude.

[jks2]

i always love those chrome pickups i buyed a teisco once with only a bridge pickup in it so i placed a rickenbacker copy pickup in the neck and it sounded very nice and warm.

[EonJax]

Beautiful guitar. I bought a trashed sunburst tulip on ebay and overhauled her with two P90's. For small guitars they have a lot of attitude!

[dropkickurteeth44]

it sure is thin

[samisabig1]

that thing is absolutely beautiful
