This vintage 1960s Teisco MJ-2 is in functional playing condition, having undergone professional cleaning and maintenance. It features the iconic "striped" aluminum pickguard and original Teisco single-coil pickups, both confirmed for sound output and ready for immediate use. The neck shows a slight back-bow, and the frets have approximately 60% life remaining. Weighing in at a comfortable 2.8kg (6.17 lbs), it offers excellent vintage resonance. The exterior displays significant signs of use and aging consistent with its 60-year history, adding to its authentic relic charm. Includes a vintage hard case that shows heavy wear (no key included). Please review the photos for the exact cosmetic condition of this rare piece of MIJ history.
The Teisco MJ-2 is a cornerstone of the 1960s Japanese "Bizarre" guitar movement. Produced by Tokyo Sound Co., it gained worldwide fame for its experimental hardware and avant-garde silhouette. This model is particularly prized for its "Gold Foil" style pickups (highly regarded by modern slide and indie-rock players for their clear, microphonic chime) and its unique switching system. Finding an MJ-2 that has been fully serviced and confirmed for output is becoming increasingly difficult, as many units found today are in non-working condition. With its lightweight body and unmistakable 60s aesthetic, the MJ-2 is a must-have for serious collectors of vintage Japanese instruments and musicians looking for a unique, lo-fi sonic signature.
