like i said, i've owned this guitar for a few years now and i still have no idea what it is. but today i found out it's called a teisco! a japanese company that made shitty guitars from the 40's untill 1970. then kawai (the piano company) bought the brand. i'm assuming to prevent the company from making more guitars. apparently people like these things and they are collectible to a certain extent. this guitar i'm working on is from the 1960's and is called the tulip, or the del ray, or the 110. for some reason the didn't put their name on their guitars, and if they did, it was a badge you could screw off. i played this thing for years until i got a credit card. here are a few others.....
