Guitar has a real rich and versatile tone. The Gibson Custom Shop releases a replica of Chuck Berry’s 1978 Wine Red ES-355. Vintage Made in Japan Teisco or similar brand hollowbody electric. I would be happy to provide an audio sample prior to purchase if needed. This 1965 Teisco Del Rey is the perfect example of that. The guitar sounds clean, I don't notice any signs of corrosion in the electronics or volume/tone pots. The luthier also moved the bridge, I think to compensate for the bend in the neck and to improve the intonation of the guitar.
#Teisco guitar es professional
I am not a very skilled guitarist, so this never bothered me, but the few professional guitarists that have looked at it or played (including the luthier that sold it to me) it have mentioned the neck as something to be aware of.Īs shown in the photos, the bridge is not in its original position. Teisco started exporting guitars to the United States in.

The luthier that sold it to me restored it, but it still has a slight bend in the neck. It produced its first solidbody electric guitar, a bizarre-looking version of a Les Paul, in 1954. When I purchased this ES-335 styled guitar from a professional luthier on Craigslist it was listed as a Teisco, but it may be another guitar manufacturer from Japan such as Aria, Kawai, Maxitone, etc.
