These look very, very similar to the one that the great slide guitarist Ry Cooder slapped into the neck position of one on his famously hot-rodded Stratocasters (along with an old Supro/Valco lap steel pickup). The gigantic gold foils alone are worth the price of admission - sweet and twangy at the same time. Nice smaller shape perfect for those guys with a small frame or you lady rockers out there. Guitar has been stripped back and revarnished to a high standard, very eye catching and different to usual black sunburst of teiscos. In other words, a perfect example of mid-60s Japanese guitar design. Really cool 1960s Tesico Zenon Audition guitar for sale. Audition 7002 solid body electric guitar, made in 1964 based on vintage brochures in Teisco Factory, Japan. The company produced guitars as well as synthesizers, microphones, guitar amplifiers and even drum kits. The pickguard and body shape are off-kilter, the knobs & switches numerous, and the neck is as thick and heavy as a Louisville slugger. Teisco was a Japanese musical instrument manufacturing company from 1948 until 1967, when the brand 'Teisco' was acquired by Kawai ( Kawai Gakki Seisakusho). Score! A nifty mid-60s 'Audition' guitar with funky, oversized gold foil-type pickups.ДЄudition was a brand name for guitars sold through Wool-worth's department stores in the sixties - in actuality, this is a Japanese instrument, probably built for Wool-worth's by Kawai or Teisco. Hey, wait a minute - that's not a Strat case! My boss gestures towards the tall, thin box in the corner and says, 'got another Mexican Strat for you to sell.'

Well, it looked like Santa Claus came early - we had boxes of new goodies piled up when I came in today.
