Gottfried, I surprised that by the sellers discription that you can see the original mounting holes for the stop tailpiece. They must have converted guitars that were already planned to be regular production guitars. Do you have any other info about this model that you can share with us? How...

Check it out. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170312188281&category=2384&_trksid=p3907.m263&_trkparms=algo%3DSI%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D15%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D54 I'm no expert on Tokai's, but this looks to me to have been done "outside" the factory!

The finish looks to be gone completly down to the bare wood with the fillercoat showing. That's what I'm seeing and I looking very closely...see :o

It's not a blem, It's a chip in the finish. That's clear from the pic. A blem is from the factory and I doubt that the guitar left Tokai like that. My take anyway. I understand what you are saying, but not everybody sees it that way. Would you accept a $20 adjustment in this case? Also, another...

I guess that some guys figure if thay pay for a new guitar that they get a new guitar. The good thing is that the new buyer knows about the damage before is arrived. No suprises or disappointments that way. :wink:
