Teisco E-110 1960s Electric Guitar - Tulip Sunburst - Japan

Up for sale is a vintage 1960s Teisco E-110, an iconic Japanese-made electric guitar known for its quirky aesthetics, lightweight feel, and raw, garage-rock tone. Teisco guitars gained popularity in the ‘60s as affordable alternatives to American models, but over the years, they've earned a cult following for their unique character and sound. This model is a prime example of why vintage Teiscos are so beloved by players and collectors alike.

This particular E-110 is in good condition, with the majority of its original components intact. The only non-original parts are the replacement knobs, but everything else appears stock, including the tuners, bridge, and electronics. The guitar plays well, though—as with most Teiscos—it may require some fine-tuning to meet personal preferences.

Features & Specs:

🎸 Classic Teisco single-coil pickup – Delivers bright, jangly tones, perfect for garage rock, surf, blues, and lo-fi recordings.
🎸 Lightweight solid body – Comfortable to hold and play for long sessions.
🎸 Bolt-on maple neck with a rosewood fretboard – A vintage-style profile that feels smooth under the fingers.
🎸 Original tuners and bridge – Holds tune reasonably well, though Teisco hardware is known for its quirks.
🎸 New replacement knobs – The originals were missing, so new knobs were installed.
🎸 Vintage burst finish – Classic Teisco styling with retro charm.

Playability & Sound:

Despite its simple design, the E-110 delivers a unique, raw tone that stands out in recordings and live settings. The single-coil pickup produces bright, cutting tones with a slightly microphonic character, adding to its lo-fi appeal. Whether you're playing garage rock, surf, blues, or experimental music, this guitar offers a distinct vintage vibe that modern guitars can’t replicate.

As with most Teisco guitars, the bridge and tuners can be temperamental, but they add to the vintage character. If you're looking for a guitar that’s already a player, this one works well as is, or it could be a great platform for upgrades.

If you're a collector, a lo-fi tone enthusiast, or just love vintage Japanese guitars, this Teisco E-110 would make a great addition to your collection. Whether you’re keeping it stock or planning to mod it, this is a solid vintage piece that captures the charm of 1960s Japanese craftsmanship.
