There is a surface ding on the back of the headstock(see photo) Looks harmless. The knobs have been replaced with Tele knobs(see photo) Neck is clean and straight.

The side-marker material runs the full length of the board, doubling as full fretboard binding– it also includes the nut, and looks very much like aged bone or ivory! All original.

Plus one pole-adjustable single-coil pickup, of the type made famous by Ry Cooder) the at-the-time unique 4+2 tuner arrangement, plus the completely unique fretboard side markers. So many of these fine guitars are now missing their little metal badges– BUT THIS ONE HAS ITS BADGE! These cool little small-bodied guitars feature a cunningly designed combination trapeze tailpiece/adjustable bridge. The cool and distinctive Teisco Del Rey badges of this era were only being glued to the headstock, and by the mid-80s the glue had lost its ability to hold the badges to the wood. more realized, thus explaining the poor condition of so many of them– it’s great to find one in such good shape as this nice single pickup E-120. some sold for as little as $99.9 9 in American department stores and catalogs) Their value as solidly built surf and garage axes was immediately. With Teisco headstock badge) Great looking striped aluminum scratch plate guitar. One is a kill switch the other seems to be a boost off sorts. All the electronics work including the flip switches. The finish looks pretty good when you consider it's age. It's a good looking guitar with a few scratches and paint dings but nothing serious. I can send you photos and even a video I recorded using it 17 years ago.60's Vintage TEISCO DEL REY E-120 Electric Guitar/ Made in Japan! Year: 1966-67(Circa) Manufacturer: Teisco Model: E-120 Del Ray Color: Sunburst Condition: Very Good with a few minor cosmetic issues Tuners: Vintage"Butter Bean" 4/2 The finish on this classic Teisco is a brown sunburst.
It is in great condition except for dirty rocker switches. The back of the headstock had a small metal Made in Japan tag held on with tiny nails. 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.
