Silvertone/Zenta Telecaster

[4Everdelayed]

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.

Is this related to Jedson? I have a matching Jedson short scale bass, well, identical one on the bay had a Jedson badge.

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.

+1 on the Jedson thing - my guitarist had one virtually identical. i'll try and find a pic

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.

actually, it's not the same at all!

[4Everdelayed]

They are pretty similar though.

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.

Where's Bassassin when you need him?
