Were guessing a bit on the year as these Teiscos have no real way to date by serial number but it puts us in the right range with the appointments and pickguard.

What sets this apart from the other Teiscos is that world renowned luthier Flip Scipio rebuilt this guitar for a great client of ours and made the guitar play amazing.

He even Signed the back of the headstock which is really cool.

Youll also notice that this guitar still has its Teisco logo on the headstock which is rare to see.

Indeed, through their mid-60s connection with the Sears and Roebuck company, many a modern guitar player learned his or her first chops on a Silvertone made in Japan by the Teisco company.

Nevertheless, for years Teiscos were the object of ridicule, the penultimate examples of cheap Japanese guitars (a reputation more based on cultural chauvinism than objective analysis, truth to tell).

The Japanese logo changed to a sans-serif tye in an italicised T shape.

Serial number: 365757 - There are a few minor scratches consistent with age that I have detailed in the photographs but overall this is a very nice vintage MIJ guitar that has been properly maintained and cared for.

Piecing together all the facts about the Teisco brand is not easy.

The information here is currently based on info presented by the Kawai musical instruments Mfg.

I would like to add a special thanks to writer Paul Day for supplying information on the history of Teisco guitars in the UK.

For detailed descriptions of some of the models listed below you need to read Michael Wrights two articles from Vintage Guitar Magazine.

BTW, Im not going to cover the Teisco lap steel guitars - visit Brads Page of Steel for those Where the USA model numbers are different from the Japanese designation they are shown in italics.

Guitars 1946 The company that was to go on to create the Teisco brand was formed by Mr.

Atswo Kaneko and Mr.

Doryu Matsuda. the company was called Aoi Onpa Kenkyujo (which, roughly translated, means Hollyhock Soundwave or Electricity Laboratories).

The Teisco brand arrives The brand name was coined by Mr.

Atswo Kaneko and does not stand for the Tokyo Electric Instrument and Sound Company as is thought by some.

The first products to carry the Teisco name were mics, amps and a lap steel guitar.

The first standard guitar, the EO-180, is a Spanish acoustic guitar fitted with a mic pickup.

The designs moved towards the Fender shape.

J-3 and EB-2 introduced.

At least five sunburst hollowbodies were offered - the PE-7, PE-8, PE-13, PE-14 and PE-51.The company changes its name to Teisco String Instrument Corporation.

Teisco began to export to the US through Jack Westheimers W.M.I.

Chicago although these were badged as Kingston guitars.

Around this time the elongated strat style six-in-a-line headstock was introduced, although the six-and-six continued to be used on the hollowbodies.

PE series renamed with EP prefix.

Two basic new solidbodies were introduced - the SD-4LSD-2L and the SS-4L.

Teiscos were now also exported to the US badged as Kent for Bugeleisen Jacobson.

Dallas-Arbiter began importing Teisco guitars into the UK re-badged as Arbiter guitars.

On selected models squarish Strat style headstocks were used (thru til 1965).

The groundbreaking and unique amp-in-a-guitar TRG-1 is introduced.

The company shortens its name to Teisco Co.

Ltd. Another new headstock style was introduced - this time the classic (and my favourite) Teisco four-and-two headstock (three-and-one on basses).
