I came into ownership of this Teisco E-52. It needs the bridge cover, pickup cover, pickguard and some other things replaced. I'm having a hard time finding any parts online. I contacted the company (Kaiwa) who owns the brand now but no response from them. Can anyone help?

Welcome to TB.
Saying you need them replaced implies that you have the originals. If that's the case, remove the pick guards and trace it to include the locations of any holes you want replicated. Send the tracing (or a photo copy) to either pickguardian.com or pickguardheaven.com and have a new ones made.
For other parts start with About » DeMont Guitars. It may even be a good idea to contact them prior to tracing you present pickguards. With out pictures of what you want to replace, that's the best I can do.

Teisco hasn't been around for a few decades. Don't forget to set searches on Ebay. for that matter, they're not valuable, so if you can find substitutes that fit, use them.
