Some of these are quite decent beginner's instruments, and some are just flat out interesting/weird. They were made at the same factory that made Teisco, Teisco del Rey, Kingston, Heit, Kawai and other brands of guitars. Nor were Decca guitars made for or marketed to children. The Japanese just took the name because it sounded Anglo-American, and thus "cool" to the kids besotted with Beatlemania at the time. It had NOTHING to do with Decca Records, Decca Studios or anything other Decca trademarks used in Britain or the US. Man, there certainly are a lot of idiots out there - like the guy who was using this electric guitar forum to dis Obama?!Īnyway, Decca guitars were made by the Teisco Corporation in Japan, beginning in about 1965. Because frankly it will just never happen. So Im glad to put your high hopes and sleepless nights of wondering whos going to come up to you and tell you your old guitar is rare and worth thousands.
they are made from old left over popsicle sticks. Deccas were packaged in cereal boxes as ready-to-go kits. litterally, Deccas were originated in the late 60s for young children to pretend to be their idols. And my father used to beat me with my decca. Probably not much value, just to me knowing how I got it. : It is dark brown and fades into a beige sunburst.I t has the Fender style neck, all tuning keys on one side, and actually still has a very good tone. It came with a small amp that is long gone. Back then, every major discount store and big department stores sold guitars. I think he purchase it at a discount store. : I have a single pickup Decca guitar that was purchased for me around 1966 or 1967 for a Christmas present from my father. I was wondering if it is nylon or steel string? It's smaller than a steel string, but bigger than a nylon string. I have an old Decca guitar from my neighbor. I remember the great sustain and feedback I could get through it playing Hendrix songs! There's one on Ebay right now that's just like the one I had, only ten bucks so far. These were cheap but played very well and I wish I still had mine. Mine was the one pickup style and his had two pickups. My first electric was a Decca, and a friend had one too. I know that it is vintage and a hollow body electric. I have no knowledge of the history or who it's made by. I grabbed a decca out of the garabage one day. I'm not planning on selling it but I know its well worth its age. its still in really good shape and I actually play it. Mine says it has a steel reinforced neck and it is really heavy compared to others. From what i know, Decca just made guitars around that time, 60's to 70's. She told me she actually had the original strings from when she bought it! I believed her when i tuned the thing and the day after found that the 4th and 6th had snapped. It was my grandmothers and I'm estimating it at over 30 years old. : I have a similar guitar to the one you bought. I was wondering the history, worth, and any info about it.It does not have a year. : : I just bought from a thrift store a decca guitar that was imported from japan.
