1967 Decca / Heit / Teisco Deluxe

I just bought a 1967 Decca Deluxe for 50 bucks! my playing was quite bad because it was cold and i wasn't used to short scale, but you get the idea.

@JamesWaton Better hope yours plays better. Mine played terribly (previously botched fret jobs and a slightly warped neck) so now I have the neck torn apart and I'm installing a truss rod, leveling the neck and re-fretting it.

I just got a Teisco similar to that myself at the local flea market. Mine needs strings and one tuner was in a bag next to it but for $20 talked down from $25 it was a hell of a bargain. Only diference is mine has the wammy bar, and the head is slightly more rounded at the tip. Come to find out they are fairly rare and sought after by collecters. Only made from 1948-1969. It's called the Teisco Heit Deluxe if you want to reaserch it further. All around a nice guitar with a distinctive sound.

Yeah, mine doesn't play too nice though, the neck might be warped. also the frets aren't to round anymore hehe

50 bucks for that vintage thing? You better keep that thing around!

My uncle died in a car wreck before I was before. Just recently, I was given his 1967 Heit Deluxe. I love that plank of wood! I wouldn't sell it for anything in the world. Besides my Fender Strat, it is my fav guitar.

I like mine, an ET-200 from 1969..they are very fun to play, they sound vintage no matter how modern of an amp or effect you use...they are stuck in a time warp! Plus there are lots of songs waiting t be pulled out of these suckers,,,hungry ghosts in the pickups

I've just bought a copy like yours. nice little guitar.

Well all that i know is that the Teisco company stood for Tokio Electronic Instrument and Sound Company. they were founded in 1948 and went out of buissness in 1969 so they are somewhat rare.

hey i have a heit deluxe mine is a bass guitar thought can you try to find me info about it

[outskirtscustoms]

Yeah they have a new neck on e-bay if you want to fix it. they sound really nice when they are fixed up right i've had mine for about 3 years and it was it pretty good shape when I got it except for missing a few parts. but the sound is great, like a cross between a stratocaster and a high end gibson. Little better than a marshal in my opinion.
