I have just bought a Fenix (by young chang) strat copy. These guitars are certainly worth a look as i cant tell the difference in build quality between it and my goldstar, it sounds the biz and is as good as any fender i have tried. Apparantly these guitars were made by an ex fender luthier, can...

Just put the guitar in to the paintshop for refinishing, so fingers crossed it comes back the way i want it as it took some time to match the LPB paint. Pictures soon, i hope? R. :roll:

My Blackie. R.

Hi, That would be good, only thing is, i dont know how to post pics either. Can anyone help? R.

Thanks stratman, that really took me back in time. Everyone has been great sending pics and stuff, its been a great help!! R.

The body markings are similar to my goldie but i dont know if thats relevant. The body marking seem shrouded in mystery apart from the referencs on them for colour ie LB= lake blue, MB met blue and so on like on yours is FO= fiesta orange, i thhink? The markings on my body are: 10= 1LB V , also...

Yeah, seen them and dont fancy any of them, they dont give me the feel good factor. How about a pic of yours to bring back all those distant memories? :D R.

That would be great Tim! Is it a maple neck 8 screw single ply scratchplate one? R.

The plate, pots and switch all look authentic enough, so does the body, but i dont think the pick ups are, especially with the stripy wiring. Also there are no markings on the pick ups! Never seen that, anyone? R.

well a 64 copy will do, forgot the rosewood boards came later. anyone got one for sale? Stratman? what about yours? :)

The pics were superb but still no pics of a LPB with maple neck and 8 screw plate, Fender or Tokai!! Does anyone have any? :cry: R.

Thanks for that stratman, i'll have a look later, have to go back to work. Thanks again. R.

Sorry meant to say a TST60 was actually $570 dollars in 1983, and also my 1983 white goldstar had a script logo. R.

Forgot to say stratman, going by yours and my reminscenses of 1983 that must make you in the same club as myself? The old F**Ts club. Hey, at least we remember those fine instruments when they first came out! I remember it well, i think? :-? R. P.S They were $535 in america in 83 you know?

In fact i might just keep the LPB goldy, anyone got a olympic with rosewood neck model for sale? R.

If you can that would be great, thanks. What has happened to all the LPB 57 rep tokais then??! R.

Mine is the maple neck with 8 hole single ply scratchplate. s/n 19622 (57). I would swap it for a white goldy with a rosewood neck simply because i bought one new in 83 when i was but a boy. Ah, takes me back, might even get the old band together again :wink: ?.

Might sell mine when its done?? Or swap for one in olympic white to take me back to my youth. :D

Has the body been refinished at some point maybe? I have stripped a few tokais and you dont normally see that much paint in the neck pocket. Very nice guitar, hope my lpb goldy looks as good. R.
