The Teisco brand name stands for 'Tokyo Electric Instrument and Sound Company'. Teisco was founded in 1946 by renowned Hawaiian and Spanish guitarist Atswo Kaneko, and electrical engineer Doryu Matsuda. Teisco guitars sold in the United States were badged "Teisco Del Rey" beginning in 1964. Teisco guitars were also imported in the U.S. under several brand names including Silvertone, Jedson, Kent, Kingston, Kimberly, Tulio, Heit Deluxe and World Teisco. While guitars manufactured by Teisco were ubiquitous in their day, they are now very collectable.
This guitar will be sold on ebay soon. Check my about me page for the ebay listing.

It's not a Teisco. It was made in the Matsumoku plant and marketed in the U.S. by Bruno/Conqueror. They used the same gold foil pickups as the Teisco models. Originally came in a coffin like case. Yours is missing the Conqueror badge on the headstock. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8da6Zn0gMw
