However, the exact name of company establishing and producing the Teisco brand was not that name, and rather, they had frequently renamed their company. The company was founded in 1946 by renowned Hawaiian and Spanish guitarist Atsuwo Kaneko and electrical engineer Doryu Matsuda. The company was originally called Aoi Onpa Kenkyujo (roughly: Hollyhock Soundwave or Electricity Laboratories). In 1956, the company name was changed to Nippon Onpa Kogyo Co., and changed to Teisco Co.

Teisco guitars were also imported in the U.S. Under several brand names including, Kent, Beltone, Duke, Encore, Heit Deluxe, Hy Lo, Jedson, Kimberly, Kingston, Lyle, Norma, Tulio and World Teisco.

During the 1960s, more advanced and powerful models were offered, such as Checkmate 25, Checkmate 50,and Checkmate 100 featuring dual channels, reverb and tremolo effects. Teisco also made solid-state (transistor-based) models, some designed no less radically than their guitars of the time.

I decided to take some pics of my guitars since they're usually not at my apt. And partly for fun, and partly in case i ever get robbed. Sorry for the bad quality, my camera sucks. Fernandes H65.

I had wanted these forever and finally came across this a few years back. Its my main guitar for my 'off tunings' in my band, 'Winchester'. This guitar has major balls like no other i've ever owned: Fender Cyclone. This is a first version cyclone. Mexican made, like me. I use it as a back up for standard tunings.

I love the look and feel, but it doesn't get along with my amp as well as i'd like: Squier Jagmaster II. This was my main guitar for a while, and briefly it was my only guitar. I use this for my 'B' tuning songs in Winchester. Took a chunk out of the neck during my brief stint in a 'grindcore' band. PUP could be better but i love it. I like to beat this one around when i play.

Php Serial Port Communication Linux Kernel. It's crafted in indonesia, most others i see say made in china. Fernandes H65. Taiwan model.

My bastard H65 that sits around in my closet. Not nearly as nicely made as my Japanese one. Needs a fret job BAD, nearly unplayable. Random Peavey?

My FIRST guitar ever! Sold, traded, broken, and somehow found it's way back to me.

I need to find a neck for it and get it going. Not pictured: Squier Telecaster.

Made in Korea sometimes around 94, i think. Pretty but don't play it much. Squier Stratocaster II. Made in Korea in 1990. Its my main guitar for standard or 'B' tunings. Nicest neck ever.

Random 60's junker. Don't know what brand. Ill try and get some pics of these up, they're at the practice space. Now my basses: Teisco Del Rey EB100.

No clue what year? My main guitar for my side-project punk duo 'Girls on Jetskis'. Plays awesome, i tune it AGDD. It gets crazy sounds just hitting the body with a PS-3 and some overdrive. Got this random bass for free from my brother. Don't like the look, but it actually plays and sounds great.

Borrowed this from a friend when i got joined one of my last bands to play bass, but didn't actually own one. He eventually traded it to me for an Epiphone Les Paul. I gigged it for about a year playing some Psych-Folk.

I've never changed the strings, action is high, but this thing sounds massive. I got used to the high action cause i didn't know any better and now i prefer it.
