TEISCO GUITAR MANUAL CRACK

Typically these instrument were re-branded Teisco Del Rey ( Teisco, the King), at a time when manufactures believed adding a Spanish sounding name to a guitar. The company didn't begin importing guitars to the United States and United Kingdom around 1959. Tariffs made importing foreign instruments unreasonably expensive. The original company produced guitars for domestic use. At that time, Kawai discontinued the Teisco brand on their guitars, but kept the brand name for use on their electronic keyboards. The Teisco brand lasted until 1967 when the company and assets were purchased by the Kawai Musical Instrument Company. Teisco is the name that gave the company it’s recognition. There was another company called Tokyo Sound Co Ltd, that built Guyatone guitars. However, according to the company founder, Mr. The original name of the company was Aoi Onpa Kenkyujo, which can be loosely translated to Hollyhock Soundwave or Electricity Laboratories.īy 1956 the name was changed to Nippon Onpa Kogyo Company, then in 1964 it was changed to Teisco, which most sources explain is an acronym for Tokyo Electric Instrument and Sound Company. Kaneko teamed up with electrical engineer, Doryu Matsuda. He also played the “Spanish” style guitar.

Teisco, was a Japanese Company that was founded in 1946 by a Hawaiian guitarist named Atsuwo Kaneko. It was a fad, but many companies saw it as a bull guitar market and rushed in to make money. I cannot describe the incredible demand for guitars and basses after the British Invasion. These guitars were normally sold by brokers, who usually re-branded them or had them rebadged them prior to shipment, then sold them to music stores, department stores, and even pawn shops. Although there was no metal name plate on the headstock, by it’s pedigree, I can tell it was made by Teisco at a time when the United States and the United Kingdom were being flooded with cheap electric guitars made in Japan. He owned a grocery store, and took it in as pawn from a customer that could not pay their bill. I would also contribute it and photos to the Teisco website I found.I have an old guitar that my Dad gave me back in 1965. If you find a schematic along the way I would love to get a scan. Looks like it will be shipping to me this week from Washington State. With a a little TLC it could be a sweetie. I keep a good stock of Switchcraft jacks and CTS pots.

Thanks for the tips, Jim! I will take a look at all that and get this baby up to par. The Teiscos actually remind me more of Ampeg V4's and VT22's in tone than Twins, except for the so-called reverb.

TEISCO GUITAR MANUAL CRACK

Teisco used Pioneer 15's in their bigger Checkmate cabs - I had a 2x15 I used with a *Marshall* JCM800 100-watt head that would crack concrete walls. Overall, the transformers are decent, the layout pretty good and through a decent cabinet they sound excellent. The reverb is the really weak point, and while you might try a 3-spring acutronics tank I seem to recall some compatibility problems. The pots and jacks are junk an should be changed asap, it WILL need a cap job immediately if it hasn't ben done, and look a the tube sockets for smokestains.signs of arcing. I have a schematic for the Checkmate somewhere, but it would take me a month to find it! The Checkmate is not the same as the Silvertone. I could be wrong, but I think that Guitar Player magazine featured one as a 'pawn shop prize' article in the last couple of years. It might be the same shcematic as the 100 watt Silvertone head ?.I hope all is well. You might want to look into schematics for the early Silvertone amps.Teisco made amps for Silvertone back in the day. The only review I read compared it to a Twin Reverb. Yes, I saw those schemtaics earlier today. Maybe some of the schemos will extrapolate to your 100 watter. It was tiny and not very powerful but just right for practicing with my Jaguar sea foam green yuck! But I wish I still had it. I used to have a small Teisco amp back in 72 and it had a head and a 10 inch speaker cab. All I know is it is 100 watts, 2 channel, reverb and 12 tubes.Īnyone know anything about it? Possibly a schematic or manual? Any input greatly appreciated! It is on the way to me for just freight! I plan to restore it.
