The Tokyo Electric Instrument and Sound Company. Teisco, Founded by Hawaiian guitarist Atswo Kaneko and electronic engineer Doryu Matsuda in 1946, built guitars under several brand names including Teisco, Silvertone and Kent to name a few.

They were too distributed out of Chicago and supplied to Sears & Roebuck. The Teisco factory built many of the Japanese copies in the 60′s and 70′s.

This dude is a total unknown no namer – have seen it once before – but it more than likely came out of the the Teisco factory. Dual single-coil pickups and maybe a whammy. Nice sounding little lightweight guitar, again, a good one for the Girl-ette’s.

Previous owners include Sonny Liston. Hahaha

Sekova guitars were imported to New York City in the 60′s. They were designed by a Swedish immigrant Peter Sekova but built by the Great Fuji Gon Gakki Factory where old skool original Ibanez were built.

It is than likely some Sekova’s were also built at the Teisco factory.

This one is a cool-sounding unknown lightweight single-coiled Greenburst model with a great big accentuated fish fin headstock and a cool little honking sound.

Norma guitars were built in Japan between ’65 and ’70 by Tombo and distributed out of Chicago.

This one is another unknown model with amazing sounding gold foil pickups and a decent whammy.

(The pickups in this guitar are often taken out and used in acoustic guitars to superb effect).

The Deep South Mascot. Used to be Southside’s mascot so i’m returning the favour. This mutant is going to have to be beaten from my hands. It’s the DS Vintage pet. A total mutant.

Its actually a Norma Burns Copy body with a 12-string neck to bring it back to a 6-string; but then it seems to have the original fretboard from the Norma Burns copy as the pearl inlays are the same.

Dont think it’s the original pickups either but who cares – when it sounds like this – it is deservid of the word awesome.

So the Jesus Saves Model made by… none other than The Man Himself. Double P90′s – blended – (both pickups on / both with volumes / and a low mid and high blender). Low blend is all wooly and fuzzy, but then you flick to the mid and the high blend’s to add the incredible bite, crunch and cut of the top pickup.

Killer sounding gitbox – not for sale – maybe.

Harmony were once the largest music instruments manufacturer in America. Founded in 1892 by William Schultz. Harmony made its name post-War making ukuleles and was eventually bought by Sears; and they went on to sell 350,000 guitars at its peak in ’65 out of Chicago and over 8 million before the doors closed in 1975.

This is a Jap built 80′s solid body, dual pickup, with a great blues tone. Lovely overdriven pickup sound. Very pretty orange-burst glossy finish and signature fish-tail headstock.

Not much info on this one. Great little guitar for mincing on. Also one that’s good for the Girls cause it’s really small and light.
