At first the company made lap steels, amps, and pickups. Teisco began as a company right after world war II, in Tokyo. Anywhoo, the name Teisco comes from the company with the same name. People do the same in other countries where old Japanese guitars are called Top Twenties or Hertiecasters. I suppose it was what you could call a “blanket” statement. See, back when I started having fun with vintage guitars, people in the USA used the term “Teisco” to refer to any old Japanese guitar. The very BEST chastity belts are made of poly.This is a question I get all the time, so I figured it was high time I talked a little about Teisco and why a lot of people think every Japanese guitar is a Teisco. I'm jonesin' to hear Marksound's process, those PG's look stunning Mark. There's a big bare spot right under the first string. I thought of scanning my original one, but the problem with that is some of the original paint has rubbed off over the years. Not sure what I've got in it anymore but I paid 40 bucks for the body, neck and pickguard minus electronics. The other one I have I bought in pieces off of ebay over the years. Someone must have bought it just for the old pickups. I actually paid ten bucks for the last one I bought, but that was pretty much just the neck and body. I wouldn't pay more than $150 for a good 'un. Randy, the Tulips are down the bottom end of the scale. I knew there'd be a few expert opinions to balance my kamikaze method. For some reason, Reranch told me that name was banned when I tried to use it. I would imagine this is how they did it.Ĭool guitar I have the exact same one. Using silver metallic ink pressed through the screen would make it pretty easy to get good results. I would suggest making a silkscreen from a scan of the pickguard. If you can get a decent hi-res scan of an original, I know an easy way to do it. (Dig the whammy arm made from a Goodwill knife.) Maybe you could use clear plexi with an actual scan or print of the other guard underneath?

The other way to do it would be to paint the rear of a clear guard black then scribe the pattern through the black and then spray the white or silver for the floral pattern color.Įither way that's a big job to try free hand, so others may have suggestions on how to create a mask if you can scan your existing guard. I might add that Mrs T assisted with this, I think she used a silver pen? I've done one similar ( below) by tracing the pattern & painting it in silver on the rear of a clear pickguard then shooting clear coat to lock in it, then black. Any ideas how to go about this? It looks pretty much like this I'm going to copy one from my other teisco onto a pickguard blank and I would like to try to copy the floral pattern. I'm planning on making a new pickguard for my Teisco tulip, it doesn't have one at all right now.
