commidaddy Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 I don't know if I've just been searching in the wrong places or what, but I have a Teisco del Rey that I'm rebuilding, and I'm curioius...does anyone have any information about the Teisco company? I have NO information on this guitar...no idea anything about it. Can anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

commidaddy Posted February 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 K thanks a lot! I had a little trouble identifying my teisco, so if anyone could help me? Just if you have time to look through a few pics and compare them to mine!

weezerboy Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 well the nearest that i can find is this... which has a different amount of pickups (maybe retrofitted?) but the scratchplate is identical, as is the headstock but still no idea of what model it is dan ~not always off topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commidaddy Posted February 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Yeah the body looks exactly like mine, and the paintjob that was on it was just like this one....and the head was the same...but it has a completely different bridge and it has 2 pickups, but yeah maybe it was changed around a little bit?

weezerboy Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 well from the short time i've spent looking at these guitars, the thing that is different on all models is the scratchplate.. i think its highly likely that some things have been changed over the years - doesn't mean they are original parts though - just not original for that guitar ] dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezerboy Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 ...also is the strap pin (the top one) in the same place on yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commidaddy Posted February 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 I don't think so...but I took them off and put them in a baggie a LONG time ago so I'll have to get back to you on that(the guitar's upstairs, stairs creak really loudly, 6 other people living here that are sleeping, 6 other people who would want to kill me if I woke them up;) lol) But anyway I was thinking the top one wasn't on the inside of the horn but rather on the front of the horn? Who knows it could be in the exact same spot and I'm just imagining things;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezerboy Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 maybe its a possibility that someone made the body as a copy and stuck on a neck and some hardware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commidaddy Posted February 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Could be? But would they be able to get a Teisco label to put on the head and stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezerboy Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 could be an original neck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commidaddy Posted February 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 True..didn't think about that..guess I'm just dumb;) So is there a way that I can find out whether or not it's orignal? Especially the pickups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezerboy Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 i think that at this stage the more pictures the better, any marks on any piece of hardware would be useful.. just throw pics at me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commidaddy Posted February 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 haha aight...I'll take some more pics maybe even tomorrow? Or the next day? Then I'll post them on here and see where we stand then! Thanks:) Jarrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezerboy Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 *goes out to buy more caffeine to stay awake on google* at 7:30am your brain dies - i'm sure i can find it, but after sleep maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
