    Greco finishes? What is Lacquer?

    Having stripped and refinished a few vintage Greco’s, the finish is nitro-ish over a poly sealer/pore filler coat, and actually much thinner and harder than same era Tokai fwiw..

    WTB: 'beater' Tokai vintage LS80.

    Thanks for the input Luis! I had a '79 LS60 awhile that had a perfect chunky '59 neck, and I'd be happy with that...now to find one!

    WTB: 'beater' Tokai vintage LS80.

    Hi all, I'm after a beater vintage LS80 to refinish/restore to my own spec, so damaged finish, head repairs, missing parts etc are all not a problem, but it must have a fat neck and be close to 9lbs. I'll gladly consider husks too, so please let me know what you have. Cheers! J@S

    Vintage Tokai Springy Sound/Custom Edition ST50 Slab Board

    Sorry! not logged in for awhile.. I didn't mean to mislead anyone with the Springy references- I'm not a Tokai expert and categorise a 'Springy' as a pre CBS small headstock Strat, with the Final Prospec saddles/block, and a Goldstar as the modified headstock, and as this is closest to the...

    Vintage Tokai Springy Sound/Custom Edition ST50 Slab Board

    Gorgeous flame on this one: Super dark, reddish/chocolate fretboard too that's rather BRW looking imo.. I really wanted a slab board vintage MIJ Strat, but could not scare one up, so put this together from an '82/'83 Springy body (top spec Final Prospec steel bridge/block) and a...

    WTB: beater ST80!

    Hi all, I need a beater Strat and would far rather have an old Tokai than buy a new Mex etc, so please let me know what you have- dings, knocks, gouges, changed pups/electrics no problem :-) get in touch!
