Jedson Electric Guitars

Like the acoustics, the electric Jedson guitars were produced/distributed during the early 1970s. Jedson is also known brand of steel-guitar. The Jedson steel guitar was made famous by David Gilmore of Pink Floyd.

From around 1966 Merson/Unicord distributed Aria/Matsumoku guitars labelled Univox, with the best known-model, the Mosrite-styled Hi-Flier appearing in 1967/68. David Wexler of Chicago badged them as Conrad, C. Bruno as Ventura, L.D. HEater as Lyle, and Maurice Lipsky as Domino. In the United Kingdom many were imported branded as Eros (Rosetti), Angelica (Boosey & Hawkes), and Commodore. Over the next five or six years there were numerous other examples: Electra, Granada, Tempo (Merson), Toledo, Jedson (Dallas), Arbiter and Shaftesbury (Rose-Morris) to name just a few.

All of the Tele models and the semi-hollow and thin-archtop guitars were made by the Teisco Company of Japan. The full-body archtop is virtually identical to the Greco, also made by Teisco. Some believe the Gibson Les Paul copies resemble those made by Tokai. They certainly were made in Japan during the same time-frame as other Tokai built Les Pauls Another source stated that Teisco made a SG model was sold under the Jedson and Kay brands. Teisco was bought by Kawai in 1967. Kawai started to produce all the Teisco guitars, as well as its own brand.
