Vintage and Collectible Guitars
1960s Vintage Teisco Del Rey
Available
$500.00 + S&H
Japanese sixties build with the switch plates and sparkle that made Teisco a cult favourite among players who want something different. Sold direct by Steve De Franco at Stevie's Guitars, with no checkout and no auction. Message for condition detail, extra photographs and a shipping quote to your address.
Teisco Del Rey guitars came out of Japan in the sixties, sold cheap in American catalogues, and were written off for decades before players worked out that the pickups sound like nothing else. The switch plates, the sparkle finishes and the slim necks are the whole appeal.
These were built to a price, which means condition varies enormously from one example to the next. What matters is what has been done to it since, and that is the part Steve can tell you about.

Before You Commit
Ask for more photographs of anything that matters to you, including the areas most listings leave out: the back of the neck, the heel, the fret ends and the inside of the case. Steve will take them.
Shipping is quoted per instrument at the rate the carrier charges on the day, packed in a hard case inside an outer carton. Read the buying guide for the full process, or the returns policy if you want to know where you stand after it arrives.
