//I’m going on an adventure// New (to me) electric guitar, vintage amp dream deferred, and scoring a mad decent used amp. Featuring musical guest the ice cream truck.
I love these guitars. I didn't know they made them without the truss rod. I can see that it doesn't have the little notch at the bottom of the neck where the neck meets the pic guard though. That's where the adjustment for the trust rod would be if it had one.
Back in 1969 I bought my 1st guitar with paper route money. It was a Teisco e-110 Bought it at Thrifty Drug Store i think it was $17.99 maybe $18.99. I bought 4 Teisco's and a Checkmate 88 amp (88 was because it had two 8 inch speakers). Anyhoo cool to see young ones taking interest and messing round with the old stuff.
Awesome gear. The Tulip probably sounds fkng awesome through the Fender Amp and super funky 70s through the lil Checkmate amp. I have a few Teisco and they have very special magic. I hope you have an amazing electric guitar journey
Had this exact guitar and amp back in the day. The guitar was$29.00 new in a local department store. Thinking about $40.00. Used to put an EH LPB1 in front of amp. Sounded great in the day. Wish I still had it!!!
I was advised against messing with it by a guy who works on vintage amps. He said the small chance at getting it up and running wasn't worth the time/risk of electrocution. It's decoration now.
@@inkthay couldn't quite identify it didn't have any markings almost looks like a Del Rey but even smaller with a big chunky neck and a sweet Chrome pickguard also just found a kay vanguard at the flea market 😀
My first guitar in 1988. That and a sears amplifier for 100$. Unfortunately my Dad destroyed it because he was pissed off at me for getting into trouble at school.
I had that exact model back in the 70's. I bought it at an old membership department store called Gemco, for I think $29. I ended up cannibalizing it for parts. Wish I still had it.
I love these little guitars so much! The amps are really underrated too imo. Solid state amps from that era are good at making a weird "almost analog" kinda distortion.. I've never had the chance to own one, but they're great imo. Very responsive to pedals too :3 I'm going to build my own amp soon and base it off this circuit! Have you fixed the amp by now?
I was advised against fixing the amp after local expert Billy Avett inspected it. I bought a used Fender Mustang LT25 at Sam Ash and it has served me well.
((d|-()-| |-()-|b)) ®.....I have many of theses classic Kay, harmony,Teisco, etc guitars. I have a few 4 pickup types. Love them ALL.......Great Vid girl!

I remember in the 80s you could get them for about £10. And even then people didn't buy them.
this is your first video I ran across..That Tiesco amp got me..I have a Checkmate 18..let us know if you get that thing running. mine is quiet too

@@inkthay thanks. My parents never wanted me to be a musician.

Fun video - Thanks!
Thank you much! Glad you liked it.
I have one with two pickup configuration. They are great.
Checkout the Kay Kleenex Pickup guitars? Kleenex Pickups were made by GIBSON and sold to Japan builders...

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have the exact same guitar. It sounds great!
I just wanted to check out this amp, and now i'm in love. Great.
had this in the 70s except my guitar had 3 pickups lol
gawd damn
And no playing?! Why?!
I have one how much is it worth today
I paid ~125 for this in the summer of 2020. Prices on eBay range depending on condition, number of pickups, etc.
There was a rare one with 3 pickups one time
