"The frets show only minimal wear. No binding cracks." Wouldn't this have had a refret on it? Don't ObG's have fret edge binding? The frets are clearly not bounded. http://somara.com/guitars/download/12499

I used to have one of these and honestly, it wasn't that great.

Love the catalogs section.

You guys ever see a Tokai headstock logo like this? Also, what's the deal with saddles being stamped? Were original saddles stamped with something

LOL, that's exactly what I thought. Any best-guess as to what model # it might be? Any tips on what I should look for? I don't really know a lot about Fernandes.

What do you guys think of this Tele? http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/msg/849098725.html

This should definitely be stickied.

Thanks guys. I'm guessing the deal won't happen as I haven't heard back and he was very prompt in response/photos in previous emails.

I might be doing a trade deal of a supposed 2005 tokai LS-150, what would you all say the market value of that Tokai is and are there any signs I should specifically look for that indicates it is indeed a 150 -vs- a lower model? I've received a first batch of photos, it looks in very good...

Now, who's going to translate into english?

A little too "cork sniffer" for my tastes.

Nice flame, what model do you think it is? have you pulled the pickups? Unmarked?

EVH used an Ibanez Destroyer, I think. I "know" that seller from another non-guitar board (a music board), he posted the guitar there asking for more info. I think I actually started a post here about getting more info to pass on.
