I am based in Australia so this might be a long shot. I have a 1981 Spacey Sounds strat in pretty good shape. Really minimal fretwear. The guitar almost looks new with the exception of a few minor scratches and a chip in the finish. I am pretty interested in getting a telecaster with a...

1981 Greco Super Real Strat SE800J Nitro finish All original. Missing tremolo arm Frets have mild-moderate wear but no buzzes. Local shop said enough fret life left for a few dresses. Proper "8" stamped neck pocket. Resonant and light weight 700USD + shipping Comes with Greco Hard Shell...

I've got a 1981 SE800J. This model seems weird to me. Supposedly 60s style strat with Jeff Beck mods that he had at the time. But it is an 8 hole pickguard which I thought was 50s. I read somewhere that the pickups are all the same (ie. no reverse wound middle). I hate the black...

I seem to recall someone saying the MIM strat tremolo arms fit in the old Grecos. Is that true? I have a super real that is missing the arm

GRECO EGC68-80 for trade: I am after a 335 style guitar with a fat neck. Not really interested in any solid body guitars. Features: Nitro violin burst finish. Original frets (>80% remaining) Real ebony fretboard and MOP inlays Waffleback tuners. 9.59lbs 50s profile neck with low action...

I am looking into a 335 and just wondered if any of the Tokais have fat necks. It sounds like the newer Edwards are fatter in general. I want something like a 58 or at least 59 LP in terms of thickness.

I am trying to piece together a summary of the Cat's Eyes guitars. (I was expecting to find one here.) I am going to post some of the limited information I have put together and hopefully others can fill in the blanks. Brief History (From Tokai Wiki): Tokai Guitars Company Ltd., is a Japanese...

Does anyone know how to date the newer Navs by their serial #?

Sorry I forgot to update this. Sold this a little while ago. This is the guitar I said I would never sell. It has amazing tone. Tortise shell binding, abalone inlays, gold hardware, nice wood. Someone else playing one with a nice amp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0vscSh9rbU

I am looking for a long tenon, nitro finished MIJ LP with a fat neck. Some people perceive their guitars as fat necked but I will need measurements with a caliper just behind the 1st fret (not including the strings). The goal is basically to find something similar to the 58 Gib custom shop...

Does anyone have a link for scans of the Navigator catalogues from the 90s to present??

I am trying to figure out if there are any MIJ LPs that have a fat neck. Over at mylespaul a few people suggested the Bacchus Duke. I am still waiting to hear from them what the typical neck thickness is at the 1st fret. I played an R8 and they are apparently 0.925" at the 1st fret (23mm or...

So I picked up an old Fernandes FST50 (I think) Maple neck with big headstock (and 3 bolt) with the stone logo. The body does not have a stamp on the inside. Its a 3 piece sunburst. It has the grey bottom pickups. I can't tell if these are the good ones or not (the catalogues say L5 etc..)...

Ultimately I want an ES 335 style guitar but I want the sound to be not muddy. I envision a guitar with the upper 3-4 strings sounding like a humbucker on a 335 and the bottom 2-3 strings sounding like that of a stratocaster. Is there any pickup out there that can achieve this?

I just read the threads about the fake Tokais in Canada. I am just coming back for a visit and saw one advertised in a local web classified. It didn't look right so I did a little research here and found out about the unlicensed Tokais that were brought in. It looks like there are 2 more on...

Just wondering if I should spend half a day going to a few guitar places looking for used Tokais or if that would be a waste of my travel time. Anyone have any advice on this?

These guys are advertising the Chinese made Tokais but I am not sure if they are fake or not. Their site doesn't allow you to contact them and it just seems generally dodgey. Anyone know anything more?

This may offend some but I think I prefer the shape of the above listed models to the ES335 for ability to reach the upper frets. The cutaway on the 335 doesn't feel comfortable to me. However the above listed models are too expensive (pretty much anything labelled Gibson is!) The Heritage...

Can someone tell me more about these? They are made in Korea. The other day I played a Tokai ES60 (Made in China). I had a great neck and played really well. However the pickups sounded not quite right to me. I can get the Bacchus for less with a case and it is made in Korea. However, I...
