West: Ritchie Blackmore, Jimi Hendrix, Uli Jon Roth, Eric Johnson, Eric Clapton, Marty Friedman; East: Munetaka Inoue, Nobuhiro Mine, Takeshi Terauchi, Michio Miyagi, Tadao Sawai, Yoko Nagayama, Itsuki Hiroshi. Recreate the traditional sounds of Japan through the guitar and turn it up to 11. It is my dream to own a Teisco Spectrum 5, original or reissue.
I moved into a new house about 6 years ago, and found what I surmise is a Teisco guitar in a soft case in one of the closets. No idea what model it is, it has 2 gold foil pickups. And an odd headstock which I gather all Teisco models did. Would anyone be able to help me identify it?
It arrived and is playable if I set the action high. The first fret is so low that the high E string hits the 2nd fret first. Bought it mostly for nostalgia, but playing it quite a bit because it's more readily accessible than the others.
Love it! I've been playing an original (from everything I have gathered, it has a solid wood neck and big silver pickups that are very hot/crunchy) Teisco Tulip e200 that my parents gave me for a birthday present 40 years ago. I have many guitars now but the tulip is still my favorite guitar! Your Hendrix is excellent, I would like to hear you play more.
Brilliant! Just donated my self restored four pickup Teisco to a music department of a special high functioning autistic school with a love foe all things Guitar.
I'm just looking at one of these on sale. The schematic looks a lot like the DOD 250, but the gain stage is a little more sophisticated. It is still a very primitive, non-true bypass, low input z/tone-suck circuit. FYI, it's not at all related to a discrete fuzz face type circuit or a TS circuit. Hope this helps!
