Terada is a quarter in Osaka.Isn't Terada a place in Japan? I guess I didn't know that Terada was also a brand name.
If the same Terada, the went on to make Gretsch guitars for FMIC.
Agreed! I much preferred my Terada-built Gretsches to my vintage Gretsches in terms of fit and finish. The only thing I liked better on the vintage models was the pickups. Too bad FMIC couldn't blueprint them better.They have spectacular build quality, way better than the 1950's and 1960's Gretsch's that were made in Brooklyn.
