For customers residing in Japan
Teisco's Japan Vintage (Bizarre) guitars, a rare "SS-4L" with 4 pickups, the highest rank in the series, is in stock.
We judge that it was probably made in 1964 (Showa 39) because of the "39.9.7" stamp on the date inside the cavity.

In Japan in the 1960s, electric guitars with sharp specifications were produced along each manufacturer's own lines as part of the electric guitar boom.
Although the shape of these guitars was slightly different from the American electric guitar standards, they had sounds and unique looks that could only be produced by domestic guitars of this era, and some of the models were used by famous professional musicians. One of them is the TEISCO "SS-4L".

The body shape is reminiscent of the JGs used in surf music at the time, and features many retro switches and 4 pickups.
The SS-4L is equipped with gold foil pickups, which were used by Ry Cooder, the famous slide guitarist of the day.
The pickups are highly sensitive, so care should be taken not to turn up the gain too high.

As for the condition, the pegs and frets have been replaced, the tone pot has probably been replaced, some decals around the switch are missing, and the arm and tremolo cover are missing.
However, the head logo and truss rod adjuster cover are still in place, and the frets have been replaced with higher frets, perhaps for better playability.

The body paint has no noticeable cracks, and considering the age of production, the guitar is in very clean condition.

Teiscoのジャパン・ヴィンテージ(ビザール)ギター、シリーズの中でも最上位ランクである4ピックアップ仕様の希少な『SS-4L』が入荷。
キャビティ内のデイトに「39.9.7」のスタンプがあることから、おそらく昭和39年(1964年)製と判断しています。

エレキブームの流れで各メーカー独自の路線で尖った仕様のエレキが生産されていた60年代の日本。
アメリカのエレキギター基準とは少し違った形ではありますが、この時代の国産ギターでしか出せないサウンドや個性的なルックスを持っており、モデルによっては有名なプロミュージシャンからも愛用されています。その中の一つとも言えるのが、本機であるTEISCO『SS-4L』です。

当時サーフミュージックで使われていたJGを彷彿とさせるボディシェイプに、多くのレトロなスイッチ類と4ピックアップ仕様が特徴です。
特にピックアップに関してはスライド・ギターの名手であるライ・クーダーでの使用でも知られるゴールド・フォイル・ピックアップを搭載しています。
このピックアップは感度が高いため、ゲインの上げすぎには注意が必要ですが、ピッキングの強弱に対する表現力が非常に豊かとなっており、高く評価されています。

状態としましては、ペグとフレットの交換、トーンポットがおそらく交換されているのと、スイッチ周りのデカールが一部欠品、アームとトレモロカバーが欠品となっています。
ですが、しっかりとヘッドロゴとトラスロッドアジャストのカバーが残っているのと、演奏性を考慮されてなのか、高さのあるフレットに交換されているのは嬉しいポイントかと思います。

ボディの塗装も目立つひび割れ等は無く、製造年代を考慮すると大変綺麗なコンディションで、メンテナンスもしっかりとされてきた個体ですので、今後も長くお使いいただける古き良き国産ギターです。
