1968 The 'Top Twenty' Japanese guitar by Teisco. Someone made a dreadful job of replacing the frets.

I am wrong on the date in the video.... and YouTube told me to take out Marlyn singing Happy Birthday.... :-(

Rose-Morris took over the importation of Teisco guitars into the UK and re-badged them as 'Top Twenty' guitars. The SS-4L was sold as the 'Orbit 4' model, perhaps signifying the fact that it had four pick-ups? Around this time some models were also badged in the UK as 'Kay' and 'Audition'.

The new solid body models this year had a new leaner shape and had thin, pointed, flared cutaways and German carve contours.

The SM series (SM-1/Del Rey ET-110, SM-2/Del Rey ET-200, SM-2L/Del Rey ET-210)and the K series (K-2L/Del Ray ET-230 Deluxe, K-3L/Del Ray ET-312 Deluxe and K-4L/Del Ray ET-460 Super Deluxe) are introduced but most importantly the Spectrum 5, a three stereo-pickup multi-voiced guitar.

New basses included the EBX-200.

Still available in the USA: MJ-1/Del Rey ET-120, MJ-3L/Del Rey ET-300.

Still available in Japan: MJ-2L, TG-64, WG-2L, WG-3L, WG-4L and the basses TB-64, NB-1, BS-101 and NB-4.

Hollowbodies (all double-cutaways) this year were: Vegas 40/Del Rey EP-11T, Vegas 66 (Japan only), Vibra Twin/Del Rey EP-12T (a twelve string!), EP-200L/Del Rey EP-10T Deluxe, EP200B/EP200B bass - all new.

Hollowbodies still available: in USA the EP-9T, EP-1L and in Japan the EP-1L, EP-2L.
