I just wanted to post a thank you to HAMAMATSU who knew loads about my guitar but found out a bit more for me over PMs. I love this guitar. It's not my very favourite but definitely top 3. I'm not sure I could part with it and now I know it's actually quite special apart from simply looking...

Wow. It now seems very surprising that I managed to get hold of this guitar so inexpensively. Is there anyway to find out more about this guitar? You seem very knowledgeable. Are you a collector? Do you know people who work for, or used to work for Tokai? Thanks for all the info, it's so cool of...

Without trying to think into it too much - seems like it says "57 - 51 LS-150 / 5A" or it might say "S7 - S1 LS-150 / 5A" I have no Idea what the first bit says but I didn't see these until about 3 years ago and it was definitely sold to me as an LS-150 back in 2007, so that bit makes...

I don't know if you could see the serial number but it very much appears to be a 2007. That's the year I bought it and it felt like a very new guitar when I got it. I used to work in guitar shops and I know the difference between one fresh from the box and one that has been dangling on a hanger...

When I bought it they told me it was the only one they had seen in this finish but I have seen two others for sale that looked similar over the years so there are definitely more. The top was so cool I went for it instead of a lacklustre Cherryburst and Antiqueburst they had which were not that...

It works now! The top is very 3D and looks different (but always heavily figured) from different angles.

Images are now below - got them to work :D

I got the images to work now, they are in posts below.

This is my Tokai LS-150F from 2007. It has a natural finish, no added colouration. I play it all the time, it's been to plenty of gigs, so definitely not mint but not mistreated at all. Plays and sounds amazing. I still have the original pickups, pots and orange drop caps stored but it now has...
