I am in the market for a 335 type Tokai. I wish some feedback on two models if anyone has tested or owned any one of them- NES 80 Flame #2533807551 on ebay and a es 60 tobacco burst with true mickey mouse ears. They are the first run of production as I am told, both sound and feel great. As I...

I have been bad, I replaced my VS-1 "E" stamped in my TsT-80 for a set of Texas Specials just to hear. Boy, very impressed with tone, not so twangy or sweet but alot hotter in a nice way. I put the Fats in my 58 strat and wow, they are great pups just what the reviews stated in H.Central., so...

:roll: I have a 79 strat with black plastic bobbins instead of grey. I was told that these were the next generation of bobbins from fender in 79 into the 80's. These pups have appeared on ebay with strats with original solder- anyone checked theirs or futher info?? Thks Victor

:lol: My TST -80 has e on them, the catalogue states that they are VS-1 by Dimarzio, the tech at Dimarzio said that they are the same construction and specs as the Class of 55- bright and twangy and beveled mags.
