I am looking very seriously at the Seventy Seven Stork FM. I know that they are a semi hollow back, (the weight of the guitar is about 3.5kg), but the flame top is solid and because it is part of the Headway family, the quality will be second to none. Here in Australia they retail for $2345.00...

My '92 LS-55 with Stan Hinesley "Legacy" Alnico 5 pups and NOS Mullard Mustard caps. [/url] http://s1097.photobucket.com/albums/g350/willows-62

Thank you to all concerned for your assistance and advice. Very much appreciated. I will continue my seaech for my "ideal" guitar.

Sorry had to amend item number.

There's also this one. It looks like a "Super Grade". FLG? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAP.dll?viewitem&item=170632261336&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I'm looking at this particular Burny. Your thoughts? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAP.dll?viewitem&item=170551335284&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

From the information I have received, my interest has diminished. The link is www.guitarsjapan.com I am now looking at a couple of Burneys' with koiz-guitars (ebay). He has a vintage Bacchus listed BLS 59 Same one? Cheers; Brad

For sale is my Tokai LS-55 Love Rock Cherry Sunburst Plain Top. It is in immaculate condition with a slim taper neck and case. The problem is that I'm in Melbourne Australia so it is only available locally. I can get quotes for interstate postage. $550.00...

I am looking at a 2000 Bacchus BLS-700QM. It would end up costing me about AUD$1200.00 (incl. shipping to Melbourne, Australia). I know the later models are/were made in China, but I'm pretty sure that this particular model is MIJ. Any thoughts/information would be greatly appreciated. :D

Where did I say "buy any Tokai it will be fantastic"? No I'm not a dealer!

I'm not really sure that the finish is the issue here. The fact is that either way (vintage or new), when you buy a MIJ Tokai (assuming it hasn't been in the hands of Pete Townsend) you are buying a first class quality instrument that will last you a lifetime.

No not at all. A brand new LS-98f would be about $400.00 cheaper than a 30 year old LS-80. It all depends on what you are prepared to spend. Also, you have to remember that you are looking at something that is 30 years old up against something that is brand new. The quality and craftmanship...

I couldn't agree more. My '92 LS-55 isn't in the upper echelon of Love Rocks but is is in mint condition and it plays like a dream, and it didn't cost me an arm and/or a leg. I wouldn't part with it for anything.

Are you looking for a brand new guitar, or a vintage/second hand model. MIJ Tokai Les Pauls are a fraction of the cost of Gibson, but their craftmanship is equal, if not superior to Gibson. I am from Australia and if you go to: www.japanvintageguitars.com they have a selection of vintage...

Mate, if it's the Gibson sound and feel you're after, then buy a Gibson. I have a '92 LS55 CS plain top and it is magnificent. I have swapped out the pups and caps but it has still retained it's character and feel. One thing is for sure though and that is that you won't be disappointed with your...
