1960's Teisco Spectrum

The Tokyo Electric Instrument and Sound Company, or Teisco as we know it, manufactured instruments in Japan from the end of WWII until 1969. They offered many weird and wonderful instruments, and the Spectrum is among the most well known of these. The guitar featured a space-age double-cut away design, aluminum pickguard, three pickups with typical on/off switches for each, and rocket-meets-phallus headstock. Fat single-coil pickups and chunky neck make this instrument feel and sound great, while blue-sparkle finish and reflective silver pickguard will make the stage-lights flicker just right. The guitar works well, although the contacts on the pots and switches could use a spray or two of cleaner.
