4Everdelayed Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) Early 70's, made in Japan, Silvertone/Zenta Telecaster copy. 3/4 scale, bound bolt-on neck, 2 original single coil pickups. Sounds really good, just looking to downsize guitar collection. I actually prefer the sound of this to a Mexican Classic 50's tele i used to have. Includes hardcase. Would prefer collection, or can meet in Portsmouth/Southampton. May consider posting. Will trade for Fx. £120 Cheers, Dan.

Mr. Foxen Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Is this related to Jedson? I have a matching Jedson short scale bass, well, identical one on the bay had a Jedson badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Everdelayed Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) Definately similar, but the one on Ebay looks a slightly different shape, plus it's got metal pickups. There isn't any brand on the headstock, but the only info i could find, (which wasn't much) made me think it was probably a Silvertone.

john_the_bass Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 +1 on the Jedson thing - my guitarist had one virtually identical. i'll try and find a pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Everdelayed Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 I agree the Jedsons look similar. I contacted the Jedson guitars website to see if anyone could identify it as a Jedson. Haven't got back to me yet. There's one exactly the same as mine on 'My Rare Guitars' website, and that's labelled as a Silvertone. It does say some were imported under different names, suppose it could be either.

4Everdelayed Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 They are pretty similar though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaker Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Looks like an early 70's Zenta, I had the blond one when I was much younger. As I recall the pickups weren't bad and the neck was quite playable. Shaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
