I have decided to sell this guitar. My Riviera needs frets! I'm motivated to sell to someone here. Ebay has been steadily going up on their fees lately, so rather than giving them a bunch, I'd rather just sell stuff for less to real players directly. This is a cool guitar, it's made in the...

Does anyone know how the APB-64 fits in the yen price structure? Since it's not a multiple of 5 then I assume it was a flagship model (like the TST-62, etc). Is this a correct or incorrect assumption? Does anyone know? Thanks! Long time away from the site but things look about the same here.

title says it all. PM me and let me know what you got! Also interested in old Hollowbody kay electric basses. thanks bw

Hey all. I wonder if anyone has experience replacing the humbuckers in the tele thinline '72 reissue. A friend of mine has enlisted my help, he apparently has ordered standard humbuckers... I understand the fender humbuckers on those guitars were rather large. Will he have to get a new...

Well, was doing some practicing last night and got distracted in the middle of packing up, thought I had latched the case to my beautiful and nearly pristine 1953 Epiphone Triumph Regent, I love that guitar, has been my main guitar lately... Well, I pick up the case and it of course spills open...

if anyone is in the NYC area there is a TST-62 natural finish (the guy says 1985 or 1986) for $300... a really good deal. HOWEVER there has been a kahler tremolo installed :cry:

OK, so I'm writing this post to help a friend identify her Golden Era Reissue Tokai les paul. I'm no Tokai Les Paul expert, in fact I've never even heard of the "Golden Era Reissue" so maybe you can help? I'm providing the following pics, would like to know*: *(Note, the toggle switch has...

does anyone know what market price on an ORIGINAL coral electric sitar is (condition unimportant)? How are the Jerry Jones reissues, anyone tried one?

Ok, so I've got my springy set up with .011's and it has the round string retainer type (50s style) for the E and B strings. I like to dig in and play hard... lots of funk rhythm, etc. I've been noticing that occasionally the B string will pop out of the string retainer (detuning it by...

OK, so here's the dilemma... some parts of the story have been told before but I'll include them for the first-time reader. I promise this is not a duplicate post, I have a new question at the end. Here goes. A few months ago I got an '84 TST-56, sounded good, looks great, poly finish...

Anybody on here from NYC or northern NJ by any chance? I put .011s on my recently purchased Springy today (Previously it had .009s on it from the previous owner) and I can't get it to set up right. I'm not good at setting up strats as I've always played Gibson-style guitars mostly. I'm new...

OK, so I got this ST-80 last night that I think is from 1981 or so. I pulled the pickguard tonight and, to my surprise, it has the "U" series pickups. Are these the right pickups for this guitar? Were there different options? What are the differences between an ST-100 and an ST-80? This...

On craigslist NYC just got an old Tokai ST-80 Springy Sound, in black with maple neck, along with a case and gig bag and accessories, AND a minty 90's Fender pro Jr. amp with cover, for $640. I think that's a pretty decent deal! My lovely '84 TST-56 will probably go on the block soon, as I...

Okay, so I have the "E" stamp on my pickups on my TST-56, which I understand is possibly the same that they used on the ST-80 Springy Sound, I know there are also "U" stamp pickups, and probably others. Has anyone cataloged a list of pickup designations, and what they mean, which ones were made...

So on my TST-56, the trem arm points up a little too 'high' for my tastes, it won't fit comfortably under the palm in playing position. I noticed that where the arm should bend 90 degrees, it actually bends at a much shallower curve than that. Does anybody know if any standard 'allparts'...

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm new to Tokai guitars. Someone will probably be able to answer this right off the bat Ever seen the color of this guitar? It's a TST-56 I think from around '84. Would this be a 'custom color' or was it a standard finish? Also, do you know the name of...

So, I just got a circa '84 TST-'56 with the reshaped headstock and later 7okai logo (not with the T). The headstock looks like one of the ones in the dating photos on the tokai registry site. I understand that these are supposed to have poly finishes but I would swear this seems like it could...

Looking to get into one of these guitars, a TST-56 that I think from poking around on this site is from 1984. Reshaped headstock but thick 7okai logo. In terms of sound and feel, do these compare favorably with earlier Tokai guitars, or is it another animal altogether?

New poster here. I'm looking to get into one of these Tokai guitars, and there is one on Ebay very near my house that I'm thinking about buying. I can't really tell from the "ID and DATING" section exactly when it's from. http://i8.ebayimg.com/02/i/05/13/f9/df_12.JPG?set_id=100D Here is...
