Does this Bacchus have a big, fat neck?

Loud? :D I don't have any measuring contraption but there is a thread here from JohnA who had his pegged at: 6.18, 6.57 and 7.45 K http://www.tokaiforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=13362&highlight=yuta

These are from my Bacchus ?62. The guitar?s a keeper now but I?ve dropped in some pups which suit me better than the stock Yutas which I find a little too hot for my tastes. They?re pretty much unused and have been sitting in a box for the past few years. Front pup has yellow dot on base, mid...

One of the un-named Japanese shop made Bacchus strats. Bacchus stopped making the period correct headstock guitars a few years ago but some shops in Japan still had a market for them so persuaded Bacchus to make some more without the Bacchus name on the head. At least that?s what the rumour mill...

Bump! I'd pretty much forgotten about selling this beauty and it's been languishing in the temperature controlled room I had especially built for my fine axes. Or cupboard, as it's more often known as. :-) Anyway, it has to go now. If anyone's up for it let me know here or in a few days/maybe...

Up on eBay now, ?1k or best offer! :) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190674903684#ht_500wt_1156

I always thought the stamped fingerboards were from '79? As far as I've been aware it's a 1981 ST100...at least that's what Mark/villager sold it as...actually he thought it might be the fabled ST120....but pfft...what does that guy know about Tokais! :D

Have some pics somewhere....hang on.. Here we go.. There's a 7.....can't make out much else.. And the neck.. So they share a 7 at least! :D And the pups..

That was Peter Mac's best guess.

No "100" stamp. It was a Golden Sunburst to begin with, there's still a GS mark in the cavity under the red, so an ST100 which had been returned to Tokai for 'enhancements'. 8)

Ah, during one of my discussions with Peter Mac he reckoned the serial probably isn't original and was added along with the sexy paint job when it had gone back to Tokai for the customisation job.

I'm not sure now! :-) It was sold as a 1981, is there something to suggest it's a 1980? There's no "100" stamped on the fretboard so it's not as early as that.

Hi gang. Bought this beauty from Mark at Japanguitars a few years ago. Pretty sure there ain't another ST100 like it anywhere! :-) It's a 1981. I've had a few email discussions with Peter Mac about it and his best guess is that it's a sunburst ST100 which had gone back to Tokai to be...

Hi folks, Time to ditch a few guitars. I'm moving and won't have the space I once had. More pics here: http://s180.photobucket.com/albums/x190/andyjscott/Momose/ 9.5 inch radius, nitro finish, around 8lbs, Yuta VS1 pickups, chunky C neck, Fender style headstock. Looking for ?1100 +...
