Does anyone know the model of this Del Ray Teisco? I cannot find it anywhere...would anyone have a wiring diagram?

I'm no expert on older Japanese guitars but that looks like some old Guyatone guitars I've seen, does it say Teisco on it?

Yes it has a Del Ray Teisco sticker. I am the original owner and it was bought in 1966. This is a pick of the headstock

Found something similar, I guess they made these in different models with 1,2,3 or 4 pickups.

Teisco seemed at times to be making it up as they went along and often made changes depending on parts supply and the customer they supplied.

Here's a page to check (http://www.mark-cole.co.uk/teisco/solid-4.htm), found on http://www.mark-cole.co.uk/teisco/.

Thanks I found the model from the link above...I saw the exact one in the 65 catalog...it is a ET-440.....Now I just need to find a wiring diagram for it. 3 of the pickups are not working and do not show any resistance.....

I've done a bit of googling, but haven't found a diagram for an ET-440 yet, but this diagram of an ET-200 (http://www.cloudyproject.com/teisco-et200-ep8t-pickup-wiring-diagram/) might be a good start. The ET-440 probably uses a similar circuit, only doubled.

Music Electronics Forum (http://music-electronics-forum.com/t5315/) has some posts that might help, too.
