Love them, bought #1 as a test, bought #2 as a tremelo test ( perfect ), #3 is a Starplayer TV Silver Sparkle, a keeper that somehow sounds much more lively than #2 ( newer strings maybe ), but #4 is going to be the Starplayer TV Outlaw !!! How can anyone go through life without ever having...

#1 Starplayer TV, black without tremelo, asking price ? 750 #2 Starplayer TV, black with tremelo, asking price ? 850 Both guitars come with a Duesenberg case, and are in good condition.

Sorry guys, just realised that it is silly of me to try and raise some cash by selling a guitar I bought new for a secondhand price, when as soon as I have the cash again I would buy it again in a shot, and probably only be able to find another new one. Going to sell off something else from the...

think 2008, can confirm tomorrow

................. which after a little research is way overpriced, guess I don't really want to sell it. Would ?700 be more realistic ?

Don't think I'd let it go for less than ?850.

...... before I put it on the Ebay That's apparently a vintage Tokai case from 1979. I imported it from Japan myself and is in new condition apart from a not noticeable ding on the corner of the headstock when it slipped out of my guitar strap and hit a table, and the straplock buttons that...

Next time I post this thread I'll try to remember to name it "What's your personal Holy Grail......"

Fair points Blake. I didn't realise before posting this thread that "lawsuit" would be such a touchy term amongst the Tokai crowd. Once upon a time I lusted after a Ibanez "pre-lawsuit" Les Paul, when they added the curve to the non-cutaway part of the body ( top horn? ) they didn't float my...

Maybe "most sought after" would be a better term. I'd like to get a Strat one day, would like it to be a vintage Tokai, but not being a Strat type of person, I'm not in a hurry..... ....... um, is it just a case of choosing with logo looks more appealling personally ? Did Tokai consistantly...

I always understood it to have something to do with a logo change, pre lawsuit meaning the logo of the MIJ guitar is more similar to the guitar it is mimiccing. Should I be looking for ads that call it "pre-potential-lawsuit" ? Thanks for all the positive replies guys.

For instance, how would a pre lawsuit '81 Springy Sound rate ? ( I'm always looking around the fleabay and stuff for Tokai's, not really a Strat man, but GAS is GAS )

The finish looks like the PRS copy / Tokai I have. I describe the finish as "oily". I'd buy that guitar for 75 bucks in a heartbeat, btw.

Edit: this is bad advice........ WD40. or probably better, a lubricating oil spray. Took a Tokai to the local luthier a while back for the same problem, he gave the thing a quick spray ( for free ) and said that if he hung a guitar in his shop for a few months it would need the same treatment.

Is that "xxl" mean that the tenon is longer that the "long tenon" from a high end LP for example ?

why not post a comment over there ?

+1 ... although, maybe email all the current bidders first.

"Routed" as in a humbucker sized cavity in the body, it's a carpentry term I guess. Not a fan of probably the best live band in the world, zeke, by any chance ?

I can vouch for Hisashi, I bought a Goldtop from him ( LS85S ) Tip, go for the extra hardcase option, although mine arrived in perfect condition in hindsight it wasn't worth the paranoia of it travelling without. Also be aware that you will probably have to pay import taxes, think I paid about...
