This is a beautiful solid body electric guitar that bears no name on the headstock, but was likely manufactured in the Teisco Gen Gakki factory during the 1960s judging by the parts and styling. Although it doesn’t have a name on the headstock, this is one of our favorite guitars in the Garage Sale project. After some pretty extensive restoration, including installing new tuner buttons, polishing frets and other metal components, conditioning the fretboard, polishing and waxing the finished surfaces, repairing electronics to perfect working condition, installing new strings and a setup/playtest, this guitar is in really good shape. In true 1960s Japanese fashion, the 4 single coil pickups each have an individual on/off slider and go through a master volume as well as a tone switch and a seperate master tone knob. This setup enables this instrument to have a wide range of tones for multiple different styles of playing. The only real issues this guitar has is some minor cosmetic imperfections as well as some buzzes on the neck that our tech couldn’t iron out. This guitar is a nice player’s piece for the buyer interested in Japanese vintage guitars and wants something that is turn key that doesn’t cost a fortune.
