#TEISCO DEL REY ET 200 USED FULL#
Measuring about a half foot longer than a Stratocaster, this tall drink of water weighs just over five pounds! One could easily do an entire gig on this guitar. Labels: Amplifiers, Checkmate, Del Rey, Teisco Teisco Del Rey Guitars ET-440, ET-320 and EB-200 This is part of a full page magazine ad from my collection.The 1965 magazine also includes a huge ad for Kay electric guitars and amps. But while it may seem a bargain, just remember that you’ll undoubtedly have to take it to a good luthier to make it play as good as it looks. Suffice to say, the Del Rey EP-10T hasn’t quite appreciated in value the same way an early ’60s Strat has. If you find one that’s stock, in great cosmetic condition and set up nicely, it could easily set you back about a thousand bucks.
When new, it listed for about $70, or roughly a quarter of what a Fender Stratocaster was going for in the early ’60s. There is a small paint chip on the lower bottom edge. The Del Rey EP-10T is one of the more collectible Teiscos. 1960s Teisco Del Rey Model EV-2T Color: Phantom Blue Condition: Used Description: All original vintage guitar manufactured by Teisco Del Rey in Japan in the sixties Paint: Original Phantom Blue paint finish is in excellent condition with no age checking or belt buckle wear. And either due to the headstock angle or the absence of tall frets, there isn’t much sustain, a common issue with many vintage budget guitars. The pickups are so microphonic that they squeal even at low volumes. With both pickups on, however, we were rewarded with a full-bodied “macho acoustic guitar” rhythm sound that was a blast to play.Īs for using distortion, forget it. The mikes are designed for use by solo singers and rock. Once the guitar was plugged in, the bridge pickup setting proved to be bright and garagey, while the neck setting was rather muted and almost too bassy. A NEW LINE OF MIKES in a new self-seller counter display has been introduced by Teisco Del Ray. You never know what you’re going to get with a 50-plus-year-old guitar, and the Del Rey EP-10T was no exception to the rule.
