Frequently Asked Questionslast updated: December 12, 2006

Sorry, but...

Life is too busy at the moment for me to answer your emails (about a dozen or more a day) and so I have had to remove the email facility from the website. However, not wanting to leave you totally unsupported, here is some info which should help you a little (or a lot if you're lucky!

Q: If I can't email you anymore how do I contact you if I have info you might want to put on the website?
A: You can post a message in the guestbook and leave your email address. I get notified of any new entry and will get back to you if I want to.
Q: How do you pronounce 'Teisco'?
A: According to various sources, some from Japan, the best guess is tey (as in 'hey!') - sco.
Q: I have a guitar which looks like a ??? model but it's a little different. What is it?
A: If it looks like a ??? it almost certainly is a ??? Because the factory used to change the hardware at a whim there will be slight variations. This has, in most cases, nothing to do with a particular year but more to do with what happened to be to hand at the time. Some exceptions are pickups, pickguards, logos and headstocks. All I know is here on the website if you look hard enough. Also bear in mind that your guitar may have been modified at some stage in its life.
Q: The serial number on my guitar/amp is ????? when was it made?
A: Identifying the exact age is usually impossible - no records were kept of serial numbers and manufacture dates. If you read the 'Timeline' page then you should be able to make a rough guess. I have no extra knowledge - it's all there on that page and I add to the page as I learn more.
Q: How much is a ??? worth?
A: It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Check eBay regularly and see what they are going for at the moment.
Q: I have a guitar - it's not a Teisco but you might know anyway?
A: All I know about is Teisco, and then not as much as I'd like to. Sorry, can't help you.
Q: Do you have a circuit diagram for a ???
A: If I do there will be a link to it on the 'Technical' page. The only one I have at the moment is the built-in amp for the TRG-100.
Q: I have an old Teisco amp. Do you know more about it?
A: Again, all I know is posted here. I don't know too much about amps as it's the guitars I have collected and therefore I don't have any amps.
Q: Where can I get Teisco parts?
A: Keep an eye on eBay. If you see someone selling Teisco parts but they don't have what you need, email them - you might get lucky.
 

I may add to this list as other things spring to mind.
