some sold for as little as $99.9 9 in American department stores and catalogs) Their value as solidly built surf and garage axes was immediately. With Teisco headstock badge) Great looking striped aluminum scratch plate guitar.

One is a kill switch the other seems to be a boost off sorts. All the electronics work including the flip switches. The finish looks pretty good when you consider it's age. It's a good looking guitar with a few scratches and paint dings but nothing serious. Very snarly and has a really nice bite that in Posted withД¦0's Vintage TEISCO DEL REY E-120 Electric Guitar/ Made in Japan!

Soundwise its what you woudl expect from this era Japan guitar. more It is playable up and down as well but you can tell the previous owner set it up for slide. Neck itself has some relief in it(there is no truss rod adjustment) and with the new taller nut it's more set up for slide with higher action. Frets are smaller profile and do show wear but still retain a playable profile. Has a really cool looking metal mirror finish pickguard.

There's one tone and one voume control and a slider switch labeled treble/solo. Has 2 pickups each with an on/off rocker switch. Electronics are a bit scratchy but all does work.

The'B' and high'E' string plastic tuner bushings are missing. All aprts appear to be original except the nut which is a modern replacement.

If someone doesn't contribute a story soon we're pretty much dunzo here.PLEASE SCROLL BELOW DESCRIPTION FOR FULL-SIZE DETAILED PHOTOS Nifty made in Japan ca.1960's electric guitar. And I'm running out of stuff to write about. I'd love to have him play on some recordings though. I'm no Ry Cooder folks and I don't even want to be David Lindley.have you seen him? He always looks like the craziest grandpa ever who could use a shower (and some new pants). It just didn't seem like anything I'd use even for home recording. Notice how all my comments are about how it looks? Overall the guitar was in excellent condition. The blue color really pops and the black flowery pickguard is interesting enough. Having said all that, it's a pretty cool looking guitar.especially up against my vintage orange Steelcase chair and hand made JFK pillow. In other words, why bother paying $100 if you can only sell it for $125?

It's just not the kind of guitar I'm interested in keeping, so it's got to be something I can resell for enough to make it worthwhile to photograph, list on eBay, package and ship. Have I become too picky? Well, not really.just tighter with my money. They don't sell for a lot on eBay, so, unless I find a Teisco like this for $50 or less and in pretty darn good shape, I just keep walking. Usually they are sunburst.so this one kind of caught my eye. You see a lot of these if you frequent the swap meets, but you don't see them in blue. This is a model 110 Teisco Del Rey guitar with a single pickup and an adjustable bridge. This is going to have to be a short one because there just isn't much to tell.
