TEISCO TWANGERS, UNITE!

FOR GENERATIONS OF YOUNG, ASPIRING ROCK 'N' ROLLERS, THE LOWLY TEISCO WAS AN ENTRY-LEVEL TICKET TO THE GREAT MAGIC CARPET RIDE. WHILE AXES FROM FENDER AND GIBSON COST REAL MONEY, THESE OFF-THE-WALL JAPANESE INSTRUMENTS COULD BE HAD FOR A PITTANCE. SOME WERE SLEEK AND STYLISH, WHILE OTHERS WERE POORLY-CONCEIVED AND CLUNKY. BUT THEY CONTINUED A BUDGET-MINDED TRADITION BEGUN BY HARMONY, KAY, AND SUPRO.

BEHOLD - THE WORLD OF TESICO!

Welcome to the unofficial home of vintage Teisco guitars!

My first Teisco is still entombed in it's fiberboard case, in the back of a closet somewhere. Over the course of time, I had to replace the tuning machine assembly (a one-piece affair) and rewire the innards.

Years after getting better guitars, I began to read about many other musicians that had crossed paths with the infamous Tye-sko. It made me smile to think that other lives had been touched by this Asian manufacturer of quirky relics.

Ask yourself this simple question:
HAS THERE BEEN A TEISCO IN YOUR LIFE?

If so, you too have been touched by greatness.
