Teisco Crescendo

by Joe Guerin
(Bluffton, SC)

I have what I believe is a 1966 Teisco Crescendo Hollow body Teardrop guitar. I have only found one other like it on a English guitar website. I would like to find out some info on it and of course, if it worth anything. Thanks.

ANSWER

Hi, Joe--

Cool guitar--thanks for the pic!

Teisco guitar models are not listed separately in the Blue Book. In fact, regarding pricing, there is only this:

"Pricing on Teisco Del Rey models and other Teiscos remains a bit strange. Most models that hang on walls are tagged at $99 (and sometimes lower), but clean cool shaped models sometimes command the $200 to $300 range."

I did find a guitar like yours in the guitar museum: Vintage Teisco Crescendo

It sold in 1977 for a little over $200.

That is about the extent of the information that I could find. Hope it helps!

Lynne

by: Russ

I bought a black teardrop shaped guitar just like that new in 1969 at a department store called Uncle Bills in Willowick, Ohio. It cost $50. It was very good quality. The headstock shape was a Fender clone and not the shape on your guitar. I sold the darn thing for $35 in 1976! It said Crescendo on the headstock and nothing else. Inside was a paper that said it was made in Italy.

My step dad picked me up one of these at a yard sale over the summer for 75 bucks mine has a bunch of long thin cracks down the body. It sounds excellent, but sorry no info on it.

That's a start. Alan at projectguitarparts.co.uk told me that a green Crescendo sold near him in England for 500 english pounds ($800) earler this year! I have a good feeling. I found mine at a farmers market in Rolla, Missouri.
