Oh man this is tempting!!! Photos please

If it was shipped with no string tension the neck will have straightened out. What I usually do is put on some big gauge strings, as tight as theyll go without snapping and leave the body laying on the ground with the neck propped up at the headstock by a big book of something, so gravity will propt...

Nice one, thanks!

Anyone else getting this?

I am trying to have a conversation with someone via PM but after I send a message I can see it sat in my Outbox for what seems like days until it eventually goes to the recipient.... any ideas guys?

Is this just me?

Cheers
Andy

Hiya

I am based in the UK and have an unused circuit board from my Ls80 which might be of interest to you? No idea on value!

Can we get a photo? Or email it to me... I've pm'd you

This one belonged to villager but I'm not sure has made it into this gallery yet.
1980 LS-80 - fantastic top IMHO... flecked, varied, subtle flame and grain.

If it is Tokai Love Rock and Les Paul shaped and has a poly finish it has to be either a LS60 OR 50.
The fret edge binding you are describing is hard to picture... Can you upload some photos or send some to me and I can upload for you? My junk email address is Brian dot mageel at Gmail dot com

I can tell you are excited.

You are just going to have to wait and see.

I agree, zebras are most likely not original so could be absolutely anything in there! The good news is that wiring and pickups can always be changed 👍

I want to at least see it!!

That is SO nice... Congratulations!
Unusual headstock on that one though, what's that about?

SOLD

1979 Tokai TE-85 telecaster, pretty much top of the range from the golden years of Japanese production. 1 piece Sen ash body, maple neck with medium profile, brass nut. These are very rare - I have only ever seen 2 on Japanese eBay and have bought them both! This one has seen a lot of action as show...

Does anyone want this?

I have upgraded the wiring in my 1980 LS80 and have this just sat in my parts drawer.
