Kawai returned the Teisco brand to the U.S. in the 1990s with guitars priced from $900 to $1400. Early Kawai models (made from the 1950s until the late 1970s) have a price range from well under $100 to just over $400 depending on what collector you run into. Model and year does not seem to make a difference in price.
