    UK Tokai owners convention

    Lovely to see some of you chaps earlier today at the Haydock guitar show. Sorry for being so zonked out, I've a ridiculous head cold/chest infection double whammy so the drugs have made me really woozy and impossible to hold a conversation with! :( Bleurgh. Hopefully I'll be feeling much more...

    Is the holy grail realy the best?

    You're confusing "best" with "most desirable" - which rare and antique instruments are. As a fellow over on the MR forums said recently - a Louis XIV-era desk works exactly the same as a modern one. It doesn't magically make your writing better, nor your wit more witty, nor your prose more...

    First Gig!

    Don't scratch itchy warts though. Especially other people's.

    My # 1

    Sorry for dragging this up from earlier, but I thought Jacco would appreciate an update to his records ;) Jac, your range is out by a long way - the LS80 Emiel bought from me, which he posted pics of just before you posted this, is a Reborn old, 0008688, with 80 stamped at the end of the...

    Springy Sound ST80 1980

    Thanks folks :) I can't take credit for those shots - a good friend of mine took them for me. He's a genius when it comes to light; I'll pass on your compliment Marcus! ?700, and that's cutting me own throat!

    FS: Tokai ES120 Semi, LSS112 LP Special, LS130Q SEB LP

    Having a bit of a clear-out and these fine fellows haven't been played for a long time now. The ES120 is from the first half of the 2000s (2004?) so nitro finished (modern equivalent is the ES155). SD Antiquities, original pickups included too. Hiscox hard case...

    Bump - back on the market. Some sexy shots to whet your appetite:

    No more Tokai?s?

    Bit unfair that, Marcus - almost reverse snobbery. You know I owned (and was bitterly disappointed in) a tribute, and sent it back; since then I've tried every single one I could get my hands on over here - always having in mind that "Marcus found a keeper, there must be one out there!"...

    Addendum to Toffee listing below

    As I can't edit the thread: Comes with the original MK2 pickups (the pickups in there currently are a Rio Grande Crunchbox at the bridge and an Irongear Rolling Mill 2 at the neck, but these will be removed unless you want to pay for them - I also have a set of Gibson '57 classics and the...

    For Sale: Almost mint 1980 Tokai LS80 - "Toffee"

    Never thought I'd do this, but she's not getting any play at the moment and I'm being strict with my GAS rules! 1980 LS80 in near mint condition for sale. All original parts included, but comes with an aged faber tonelock bridge and a lightweight faber aluminium tailpiece. I've not put...

    If your underwear isn't clean, then the likelihood is that your thread is already sticky.

    Threat of ban

    Cripes, Ned. Rolling out the old "speaking German" chestnut... well, in addition to it being massively shortsighted and arrogant, you've blanket insulted every European member. I know it was a PM, but if that's your opinion then it's clear the contempt you hold for those that fought and died for...

    asymmetrical headstock?

    Could just have been the wood - don't forget that even CNC routing is subject to the whims of what the wood wants to do! I'll check the 120 tonight (it's the only Tokai I have with a nipple).

    What is the year of this lovely Tokai Strat

    Tokai necks are gorgeous so unless you have a problem with the one on there, there's no point replacing it. As far as parts and the body are concerned: from the pic, the pickguard and bridge pickup have been changed; nothing else confirms whether the body is even a Tokai one or what other...

    What is the year of this lovely Tokai Strat

    Sorry, without other pics - no. The serial is useless, and if it looks like the 1984 logo then it's 1984 and onwards. More pics please, and make them bigger! Edit: It's been modified too, so in order to work out the extent of that you'd need photos from inside it too - back of the pickups...

    Indefication OF LP BUSKER'S
