I looked into the cavity to compate with my new 2020 Gibson standard and I cant figure out If its an insert that the pots are attached to or what¬ I know I couldnt mark it with a screwdriver and it looks very thick to be paint. Any one know for sure? At first I thought it was some kind of pod or...

I only have an LS70f but the pickups are fine. I would never replace them.

Ah I see. So my LS was not intended for the UK market and may well have been imported from Japan. I know about that time some friends were importing instruments (Fender Japan) from Ishibashi music. Ta!

My MIJ 03 LS70f is the non pip version. I have seen LS70's on the web earlier and later with the pip modification. Is the any reason or pattern to this?

Hi can anyone tell me ...Is the body horn pointier on the LC53 than the one on the LC85 or is it just the photographs ive seen. I know the Headstock is different. Anyone have the LC53 and can tellme what its like for a guitar of the price.

Erm... isnt that what I said..ie.. "Lets face it. Only guitar players in the audience know what a relic is. " Plus when the audience start eyeing your gear closely...there probebly wondering how much the local fence would give them for it! :D Since I started gigging in the seventies I found...

I saw Bill Kirchen playing a Tele with Hot Rails...sounded awesome and still twangy enough for me! This link is not recommender for those of a humourless condition! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoSWTSVc_fE

When I first started playing guitar I had no money. I had to buy cheap second hand things with bits missing and many a dent or scratch. The very Idea of going on stage with something that looks like its been set on fire then pushed through a Combine harvester is totally repellent to me. BAD...

The Tokai Sg's are great! I would buy one no worries. Im after a Telecaste type guitar riht now but an Tokai SG certainly is in the futere.

I was thinking Hot Rails... :evil:

Ta much! I have tried the MIJ Tele's so it is a useful comparison.

Hi . Im thinking about picking up one of these. How do they compare to japanese fenders. I can live with the headstock shape. I saw a double bound one somewhere online, but have never tried one. any advice appreciated.

Could be a late 90's Korean Squier with some swapped hardware and phoney decals. I have to say though it looks very nice! if it sounds as good as it looks you have a cool guitar there!. Just get the decals changed. Maybe get your own name on there. Country Boy Telecaster Yup!

The SG custom would probably close at less money, and if you like Les Pauls it would be closer to what you like. I would have it if I could justify another electric!

Mind You, the Ate's are a bit mediocre..........But as someone else mentioned get a pro set up, Then get some Kent Armsrong P'ups ant try it then. I can't be as bad as the 80's Fender Tele's. I have '92 Korean Squier which is better than them!
