:roll: That must be why there are a gazillion different color/flame variations in the LS/Standards/Historics - which most of you make a point of photographing in every possible light condition to bring out the color/flame - while in the customs you get black or white and not much else.

I don't know about Reborns but I played a 81 LS80 Love Rock which could pass as a twin, black neck and dark back.

I agree that the "E" probably stands for ebony fingerboard since the normal LC85S BB (I have one) has a rosewood fingerboard.

Judging by the 3-screw truss rod cover, it's Korean made which would make it a ALC-53. Does it have a serial number in the back of the headstock ?

I second that ! How about a full length picture ?

oi alpedra, por aqui ? :) back to topic... my '06 LC85 also has a slim neck profile very much identical to a Gibson's slim 60s.

For the LS125F the Tokai catalog only lists Cherry Sunburst, Viloin Finish and Lemon Drop, so I don't think so.

true :) but it still seems overpriced. 500$ canadian works out to around 333euros and this is for a 5-6 year old guitar. you can get a brand spanking new ALS43 from 275 to 325euros.

hell no ! it's way overpriced

I think that by "special" he probably meant that you see less oak finishes outhere than sunbursts, or maybe that he thinks it sounds particulary good... I dunno. As far as woods, it's a quilted maple top with mahogany back, mahogany one-piece neck and rosewood fingerboard (I'm really channeling...

When comparing both specs from the Tokai catalog the only differences I can spot between these two models are: -flamed top vs normal top -black beauty caps vs orange drops but the LS230 is almost twice as expensive. What am I missing ? Are the woods different, or is the manufacture quality any...

+1 togps great seller !!

how about trying to find someone who can translate the warranty card for you ? you can always stake out your local japanese restaurant and harass all the waiters :)

Are you sure you are not just mixing up the switch notation ? Treble = bridge pickup Rhythm = neck pickup I don't mean to sound like an ***, but I'm getting a mental picture of you flicking to the "rhythm" position of your explorer for some metallica rhythm playing... hope I'm wrong.

Same here :)

Every now and then, I borrow a friend's Gibson LP Standard (the only one I've ever tried) and I have to admit that it sounds a little better than my Tokai LC80. It's more resonant and really vibrates in your hands. Don't get me wrong, my Tokai is a very good guitar and I'm sure my next guitar...

To tell you the truth I also think that it won't make much of a difference but in ~2 weeks I'll have one to install in a LC80 and I'll post a (hopefully) unbiased review.

Not true ! http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailpieces/Electric_guitar,_non-trem_tailpieces/Gotoh_Aluminum_Stop_Tailpiece.html

It's a shame that your page is in German only. Looks like it has lots of interesting info :(

For a description of the differences between models check out the 2006 Tokai catalog at www.tokairegistry.com The "q" in ls85q stands for "quilt top" MIJ made in japan MIK made in korea
