Teisco / SPECTRUM 5

The Teisco Spectrum 5 is referred to as the "Holy Grail" of guitars. It was produced in 1966. This one is nearly mint. It's just missing the Spectrum 5 badge. As you can imagine, I've been trying to get one from various guitar shops in Japan; but to date, no luck.

The body is solid walnut and there are several hand-rubbed lacquer coats. The neck is as fast as lightening and the stereo sound is killer.

My favorite sound is use of both green and yellow controls at the same time.

このギターは日本が誇るエレキギター黎明期の名ブランドTeisco（テスコ）の最高級モデルのSpectrum 5といい、1966年7月に発売され海外にも丸紅を通じてWMI社（Waiss Musical Instrument)という会社と契約を結び積極的に輸出をしており、その時に海外向けのブランド名で[ Teisco Del Ray ]となりました。
