For those who emailed me wondering if there was more “loud” footage of the Teisco before it was surgically enhanced… here you go. A few more minutes of wank-wank-wank.
This does show a range of guitar solo tones from clear to fairly amped up. Keep in mind, the stock pickups are dirty little things - there’s really not much “clean” tone available. There’s also a few bars using a harmonizer tuned an octave down (which really sounds tasty with this guitar).

Hey Dave -
The answer’s a little complex… I’d say certainly those came from the Teisco factory; they may not have been labeled or sold as Teisco though. All sorts of brands had models rebadged from Teisco’s factory. A great place to post questions and photos (and learn about the teisco factory) is the Vintaxe Message board’s Japanese section - they deal with old japanese guitars like yours.
