Their model 1830 (created c.1960, LG-70)[1] or model 1860 "Rhythm Maker" (created 1960) is said to be a model[2] for which Jimi Hendrix had traded in his Danelectro, in 1962.[3][4] Then, this model was roughly copied by Kawai as model "S-180" (1964),[5] and some models were also manufactured by FujiGen.[6][7] Kawai's copied model was played by Hound Dog Taylor,[5] as seen on his first album Hound Dog Taylor and the HouseRockers in 1971. Ibanez reissued the Rhythm Maker as Jet King 2 (2004–2007).

    "​So how about this... a Guyatone with a Kingston label. Westheimer imported a lot more than Teisco and Kawai folks! Oh, and the sweetest pickups ever placed on a Guyatone guitar in my opinion. If you love the neck position, you'd be in hog heaven with this guitar! "

    "​同時期、横内氏 [富士弦創業者] は楽器の輸出商社である南洋貿易にコンタクトをとり、そこに試作品を持って行ったところ、河合の電気ギターを見せられ「これと同じものを作って」という話になったそうです。(ブランドはTele-Star。)Teiscoも同様にメーカー間の取引ではなく、商社主導で国内の別メーカーのOEM生産が富士弦楽器でおこなわれたことが分かります。
    [In English: In the same period, Mr. Yokouchi [co-founder of FujiGen] contacted the Nanyo Boeki, a musical instrument export trading company in Japan, for promoting his prototype products. Then, they indicated him a Kawai electric guitar and said that "Please manufacture as same as this", and the business had proceeded (the brand was Tele-Star [by Gar-Zim]). Also we can see that FujiGen's OEM manufacturing based on Teisco models was a similar case. [Generally,] FujiGen's OEM manufacturing based on the other domestic manufacturer models were not initiated by the direct transaction between manufacturers, but by the proposal of trading company.]​ "
