    Three Generations

    3 generations of Tokai LS models. From L to R, 1979 LS-80, 2003 LS-320, 2022 LS-324. The 320 was my very first MIJ guitar that sent me down the rabbit hole from which I have never emerged. The other 2 are recent acquisitions. I would never try to pick "the best", whatever that means. All 3 are...

    2021 LC-190S/F

    Here's a model I have been chasing for awhile. I've been a KISS/Ace fan since the mid 70s, so have always been attracted to a 3 pickup Custom. Of course, this model isn't a feature for feature copy, but that's kind of what I like about it. I think the cherry sunburst flame (veneer) against the...

    SOLD-2011 Edwards E-LP 132 LTS/RE Jimmy Page Relic w/Switch

    I think most around here know this guitar. It is factory relic'd (nothing too severe), has Seymour Duncans (SH-1N in the neck; Custom in the bridge), and is wired with Edwards/ESP Super Circuit (4 push/pull pots) that gives you a total of 20 different switching combinations (see picture). Sounds...

    Dating a Burny SG

    Hi all, I have a Burny SG for sale in various places (it's listed in the classified here as well). I have a gentleman questioning my description that it was manufactured in the early to mid 80s. His contention is that the frets over the binding is evidence tah it was manufactured in the early...

    FS: ESP Ron Wood Telecaster - $950

    ESP Ron Wood Telecaster. This is not LTD model, but a Japanese made model that sells for over $2,000 new. Fairly straight forward tele with a neck humbucker, maple neck/fretboard, red alder body with double binding. The fret radius is pretty flat, I'd estimate at 12". Like all ESPs and other...

    Tokai w/ Rolph Pickups Question/Request

    Does anyone here that owns a fairly recent high end Tokai w/ Rolph pickups have any pictures of the back of the pickups and (if uncovered) pictures of the side of the coils? I purchased a set of Rolphs used and want to compare what I have to other Rolphs.

    WTB: Tokai Early 80s Period Correct Tuners and Case

    Hey all, Just picked up an 80 Tokai Reborn Old Goldtop and it has non-original tuners and case. Definitely interested in replacing the tuners with "Tokai" branded period correct ones. Also interested in finding an original case, although that's not super important to me. I'm in the US...

    FS: 78 Greco EX800HB Explorer

    1978 Greco Explorer Copy model EX800HB. I have 2 of these, one a 78 and one an 82, I've decided to sell the 78 and keep the 82 beater. This is essentially an Ibanez Destroyer with different pickups and finish option (manufactured in the same plant by the same people). It's an exceedingly rare...

    2003 Tokai ES-120 Blonde

    2003 Tokai ES-120. This is a great copy of a 335. I have played, owned and own many Japanese guitars and this one ranks with the best of them. Lacquer finish over blonde flamed maple. The headstock shape is open book with a small dimple in the middle. I would call the neck a medium or medium...

    Greco EX-800HB

    Hey all. I just picked up a rather beat up Greco Explorer off of ebay. It's only the second one I've seen in this configuration (black, body & neck binding, crown inlays). I've only seen it mentioned in the 79 catalog, but this one is an 82. Has original Double Trick pickups. As you can see...

    FS: Mid 80's Jazz Sounds Bass

    Mid-80's Tokai Jazz Sounds bass with original precision upper pickup. I'm not sure of the exact year of manufacture, but I'm guessing mid 80's since it doesn't have the earlier spaghetti logo, but does have the correctly shaped matching headstock. The neck is a thinner Jazz Bass size neck. The...

    WTB: Japanes Bass Guitar

    Kind of a longshot, but I thought I would put out a feeler here. I currently have a Tokai Jazz Sounds bass with a P-bass neck pickup. It's a great bass, but the guy who sold it to me would like to purchase it back. I'd like to accomodate him, but would like to find a replacement first. So...
