I changed the frets and it's very easy to play. There are paint cracks and small scratches. ORIGINAL PICKUPS It's a hollow body, but it looks like a powerful p bass. I can send you photos and even a video I recorded using it 17 years ago.C.1967- Firstman/Teisco GenGakki Baroque Special MIJ Vintage Hollow Bass “Black”įirstman is a brand independent of Teisco. It is in great condition except for dirty rocker switches. The back door is not original and the reverb effect works sporadically, but otherwise, the overall appearance, tone, volume, tremolo, etc. The back of the headstock had a small metal Made in Japan tag held on with tiny nails. 1962 Teisco Checkmate-17 All-Tube Guitar Amplifier in really nice condition. It has the Guyatone G logo on the headstock and the truss rod cover says Tokoyo Sound Co. Where it is different from all the others I have seen is the two 3 position rocker switches on the upper horn. It has 2 single coil pickups with massive slugs, trem arm, 1 vol and 1 tone knob in the usual spot. I am wondering if I have one that was not mafe for export. I have been searching the web for a couple weeks, and can’t find a single photo, drawing or ad for this one. I am trying to identify a Guyatone that I got at a swap meet in the S.F. I have had many guitars over the last 47 years. Even in its original state its value is only about 1,500 at best. Now before someone has a hissyfit that i’ve ruined a “vintage” guitar, and diminished it’s value, remember it had already been painted five times before. An outstanding job! Shoot, ol Wilson Picket hisself played this guitar back in 66 or67. I just wish he could have seen the finished guitar. passed and he did get to see the oak veneer and he really liked it. I had started the refinish project before Charles. Never stripped! Just sanded and a new color applied. This guitar had been re-painted five times previously. I replicated the pickguard in carbon fiber. I refinished the guitar by veneering the top in oak and a sunburst finish was added. I’m a short fella, as are my extremities. I’ve been aquainted with this guitat since 1965. I have (and cherish) a1957 Fender Duo-Sonic, that was “willed” to me by a very dear friend who passed on a few years ago.
