![]() The guitar we are looking at here today is a ET-220 that was built in the late 1960s. Since then they have attained a cult-like following, particularly with their Spectrum series instruments. Teisco keyboards were sold until the 1980s. In 1967 Kawai bought the company and discontinued the Teisco name overseas in 1969, and in 1977 for the Japan market. Teisco is an acronym for “Tokyo Elecrric Instrument and Sound Company.” The company was started in 1946 and started to sell instruments under this brand name in 1964. It was my first chance to play one that had not been beaten to death or modified beyond recognition. I love funky old Japanese guitars, and when I had the opportunity to buy a new old stock Teisco Del Rey ET-220 electric I jumped at the chance.
