1960s Teisco Audition 2 Vintage MIJ Electric Guitar
A wonderfully quirky piece of Japanese guitar history featuring its original gold foil neck pickup and a vintage DeArmond bridge pickup that appears to have been installed decades ago.
Built in Japan during the mid-to-late 1960s, this Audition-branded Teisco captures everything collectors and players love about vintage MIJ guitars: rocker-switch electronics, lightweight construction, distinctive styling, and unique vintage tones that stand apart from the usual Fender and Gibson-inspired designs.
The original gold foil neck pickup delivers the clear, airy, articulate sound that has made these pickups highly sought after, while the vintage DeArmond bridge pickup adds clarity, punch, and bite. Together they make for an inspiring and surprisingly versatile combination.
