My friend Frank Meyers has written a great book on Japanese guitars. He went as far as taking a trip to Japan to meet some of the earliest builders and designers. He also has a great site and YouTube channel-he goes by the user name Drowninginguitars.<br />
Hope this helps.

<p>from what i can tell with teisco's history . these inconsistencies can be explained in a few ways .</p>
<p> teisco had the old custom door to door salesman approach to dept stores . sears , Woolworths etc ... could actually pick certain design aspects of guitar models and even request model mods ( i actually have a salesman sample with an un-drilled neck ... i also had a body with a magnet though the middle to place…</p>

<p> teisco had the old custom door to door salesman approach to dept stores . sears , Woolworths etc ... could actually pick certain design aspects of guitar models and even request model mods ( i actually have a salesman sample with an un-drilled neck ... i also had a body with a magnet though the middle to place pick up samples on ) . this also explains some mix matching .</p>
<p>tulips were the most popular model , some stores wanted to be a lil different than other stores selling them .. even branding them a different name , then you have to take into account Canadian imports, .. a Canadian ";checkmate " branded tulip will look different that an american of the same year .</p>
<p> then you have to take into account the year ,, the tulip model was a best seller .. so they did not want to change it too drastically , so they only added subtle changes for different years .</p>
<p>also , in many models ,, not just tulip .. you will notice the exact same model , same year , same factory , same # etc ,, may be made out of different wood .. this is because in the 60's , wood prices always went up and down, like gas today .. lol .. and they just grabbed in bulk whatever was cheap at the time .</p>
<p></p>
<p>another reason .. is exactly as you guessed .. sometimes they just said .. " what the hell" .. and tossed shit together and out the door . ;-)</p>
<p></p>
<p>another reason is ,, you might not be looking at a teisco .. it could be a st george or kawia etc .. model </p>
<p></p>
<p>anyway .. that's my free opinion .. and probably worth every penny ;-)</p>
