I have this same guitar and it has a trapezoid tailpiece and a wood bridge.
Do you know who manufacured it?
An old school guitar saved from wood pile and da wall! Love it man.... awesome job
I’ll be in Mesa soon. I’m definitely stopping by the shop
My dad had one of these. He put a bigsby on it.
The bridge plate should have been reversed, that would have given the correct distance for tuning. It would have covered the holes as well
All things considered, she cleaned up nice and sounds great. Great video!
That bridge looks like a damn mouse trap lol. Cool vintage vibe on this one, great work!
😆
The body looks like it had a mouse in there.
I think it's missing a tailpiece that was attached around the edge at the bottom end. It should have a trapeze tailpiece and floating bridge. What Dane has there is somekind of improvised nonsense.
@@GeorgeGeorgeOnly My goodness, I think you’re right. Great eye.
@@TylerJohnstonGuitar Hi Tyler. I'm still watching this video and it's driving me nuts that it's taken him so long to realise that (1) it's a short scale, (2) that bridge is in the wrong position, and he still hasn't accepted that it's not even a proper bridge.
He seems to ignore a lot of information, like the fact the whoever fitted that nut didn't understand about zero frets so they were unlikely to understand about much else.
Then there's the hole just above strap button where the trapeze fitted and the original floating bridge is missing. So what Dane has there looks like it could be the remains of the trapeze after it was adapted to become a bridge, and the screws that clamp it down go into virtually nothing because it’s a semi acoustic arch top guitar and is meant to have a floating bridge, hence no block of wood underneath - like a normal acoustic guitar. But instead he keeps questioning the neck.
THE CURE !
Hell yeah Dane! You figured it out! Ol Dave would be proud.
that's a funky piece of history there. looks like the last owner just decided to screw the bridge down wherever he could !!
I'm glad you didn't give up well done
banjo scale... dig it man
If you put a smaill brace uder the bridge through the control cavity it would help the bridge. Thanks for the videos its entertaining
I learned yesterday that the notches in the F-holes are supposed to be where the bridge saddles should be lined up. This engineering was developed when building violins so they could quickly place the floating bridge in the right place. This idea was adapted later to guitar builds. That bridge is way too far from that first pickup. I will now watch the video to the end to see if you figured this out and I should wait to make comments... Love your channel. (also the distance from the nut to the 12 fret should be the same as the distance from the 12th to the bridge.
Thanks for watching!!
Your fret guard, that you use while polishing the frets, looks suspiciously like an eraser shield, from high school drafting class.
The late '80s, back before CAD😅😂
Thanks so much🤘 I learned a great deal from watching you!
This guitar reminds me of my 67 Decca😊
I can't believe that whoever fitted that nut didn't understand about the zero fret.
Of course, I'm a bit of a fan of zero frets.
Awesome job Dane! Cool guitar and would be great for a kid or anyone really, with the short scale.
It’s definitely the cheapest looking bridge, I have ever seen. It looks more like a coathanger. 😂😂😂
Keep going Dane! Enjoy the vids👍🤘
I'd probably screw in another pick guard over those holes to make like a cool looking scar-plate. Cool video
Wow! Doing things out of order and using the wrong tools? Very informative. What not to do. I do enjoy you and your presentation, and you do get the jib done, for the most part.
Keep going Dane!!!
nice job!
hey the strings were supposed to go threw the bridge not threw then over the top. went back in the video to double check, thats how they where when you took the strings off. might make the guitar work better. other then that great videos, or could be haunted ha ha ha
Right On Dane 🔥👏🏼🔥👏🏼🔥👏🏼🔥👏🏼🔥
Gotta move the bridge.
Way to persevere!!!
great video n gret work but look at the top E string n how there is a 2-3 mm gap to the fretboard edge at the 1st few frets n by the time it gets to the last few frets its right on the edge, id prob file sum small slots in that bridge on the back side to make them all line up straight n correctly cause you can see with that style bridge the top e string wants to pull to the outside but besides that nice job
Have you seen the prices on teisco spectrum 5’s now a days - 5,000 dollars or so ouch!
It looks like a stop bar missing the bridge
sanford and son guitar shop !!!!!!
I think these had those wooden bridges that were held in place with the string tension but they usually have some felt pads on the guitar top to locate it properly the trapeze is just a tailpiece, it looks like it was from the law suit era with the open book headstock, I wish I was in the states I would have really liked to have bought this guitar just for its historical significance.
Tip-: for chrome work that is grubby and rusty you can screw a piece of aluminium foil up and dip it in water and scrub the chrome with it, brings all the crud off really easily.
Do you have any idea of the manufacturer?
Teisco, Fristman, Honey, Kawai... Japanese bizarre guitar is godd quality.
Straight away I spotted that the bridge is unseated with the screws pulled out of the holes, and that's aside the possibility it looks home made to me.
It should have a trapeze tailpiece and floating bridge.
The bridge is missing and that's the trapeze tailpiece and your using it backwards and upside down
Your ground wire is preventing proper fixing of the bridge plate. Causing resonance.
Mine has a floating wood bridge.
You could have moved to tailpiece back and cover the holes and then used a bridge forward to the correct distance?
Good morning peace from California Silver Strand Beach The Volcano Posse 🖋️
Where and How can I send you pictures? I own the exact same guitar. Mine is in more complete condition.
The Headstock logo is missing but I believe it's a 1960's DECCA.
I always slap a pure tone jack in any restore job, you will always have issues with that jack . . .
ZZZ. Lost count of how many times I heard the word bridge.All the while,there is no bridge! L.MAO🤣
I would've restrung it without the wrap over and fully secured the mounting plate before I started drilling holes I'm @1:12 ..See how this ends up 🤘🤘 54:13
what scale do you think it is? it may be a 24 1/2" scale? see if it intonates, the Japanese generally get this right
Is it for sale?
Im interesteds ❤How much for tha guiar
Does that guitar have single coils or P90s? I can’t tell
I think it is haunted Dane!
you need a 22 fret neck for it maybe?
I would think that it doesn’t have the original bridge,,,throw that bridge in the trash remove the pots plate and glue some wood underneath were the bridge is and mount another bridge.
I think the zero fret is messing with your count, there is no 23 1/2" scale
you are still working with inches, but could it be that the Japanese built that Guitar using the metric system, centimetres etc?
It doesn't matter what unit of measurement you use, The point is the distance from the nut to the 12th fret should always be the same as the distance from the 12th fret to the bridge. If it's not, the guitar will never intonate properly.
That is obvious @@FlameFlickers
@daveking3494 I agree that it's obvious. You're the one who seemed confused by it though!
Cool video 🐕🦺
dood you fubared your fret count at 56:55 you can see 12 is right over the 12th fret? there was nothing wrong with it, yoi should have tuned it and then intonated it, if it works then its good, 23.5" scale?
At what point did you wake up to yourself?
That’s not a bridge, it’s a Japanese attempt at a trapeze.
You needed a floating bridge for that guitar.
Yepp
@@ZIMMSGUITARS We all have those days, Man. Love your channel.
Think 🎻
Watching your video. That's not the bridge. You're using the tailpiece as the bridge. It is missing the bridge.
You are correct
@@ZIMMSGUITARS I only know because I have a few old archtops. Different animals. Bridge always aligns with center of f holes supposedly.
Likely a Teisco del ray.......flimsy cheaply made catalog guitars from 1968-73 incurably problematic in terms of maintaining proper intonation and tuning stability pick ups were awful too.....Japan's early attemps to compete with USA ......which they later did and continue to do
