I've been looking at the available translation of 1981 Tokai catalogue (since I don't read Japanese) compared with the translation of Tokai catalogues from earlier and later years, specifically the polyester finish applied to the LS-50 model only in 1981. All the other catalogues indicate a...

Just my curiosity getting the best of me again. What years did Deviser/Bacchus make the Brian brand? And was the Brian brand ever made in Japan, or only in Korea?

I’m in need of a new adventure and I’ve never owned a Flying V. I’ve been scanning the marketplace and I’m convinced my best bet for quality and craftsmanship at a reasonable price is with the Japanese guitars from the ‘80s. I’ve owned a bunch of Japanese brands and models over the years but...

Had my first bad experience with customs. They would not let a Tokai made Greco through U.S. customs that I bought on eBay from Japanese seller. The seller said it happens every once in a while now and it’s very random, although much more common. He said the recent trade war with China has...

Looking for a pair Goto PAFs to return my 1980 Reborn Old LS-80 to a more original state. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Once obtained, I will be removing a pair of Dry Zs and putting them up for sale.

Anybody got one? Seen one? Probably only made late 1981 or early 1982.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=111045651613#ht_716wt_1170 No body or fret binding. Never seen a 1982 like this before.

Looks like a Greco build. Never seen that brand or model type before from Fujigen. A bit heavy though at 4.2 kg. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=121039720950&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123

Seller does not state that this has a veneer top. Does it? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Burny-Les-Paul-Sunburst-Made-in-Japan-early-1980s-Mint-Condition-/110962658548?pt=AU_Musical_Instruments_Instruments&hash=item19d5e3ccf4

Is this a custom order? Or one off? check out the fret marker inlays and the trussrod cover. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221129904348&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123

Anyone got a guess why this hasn't sold yet? It was originally listed at 900 USD, now down to 750 USD. Looks to be the real deal. I'm tempted even though I'm not a strat man. http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/200821611347?item=200821611347&ViewItem=&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNARL:US:1123

Anyone else think this might be a solid top? It's a bit beat up, but may be a bargain if a solid top with that flame in it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/80s-Burny-Super-Grade-Les-Paul-Standard-Tobacco-Sunburst-Guitar-MIJ-/221079944427?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3379643ceb

I asked the seller how much it weighs. His response, "Man it's light like about 6 pounds are so." Maybe it's one of Billy Gibbons' hollowed out ones. Maybe that's not an urban myth afterall. Regardless. I'm amazed at the number of sellers of Les Pauls that omit the weight when advertizing, and...

Does this have a wierd horn shape or is just the viewing angle? Body looks a little thick too. Comments? http://www.ebay.com/itm/80s-BURNY-LES-P-JUNIOR-COPY-SET-NECK-SMOKING-P-90-ORIGNAL-HARD-CASE-/120858503153?pt=Guitar&hash=item1c23ba67f1

Serial number L22938. Looks like a good sized neck. I am not a Tokai tele expert by any measure. Any advice if this one might be worth me talking a closer look at buying? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320839254147&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123
