Thought some folks may appreciate this, excuse the crappy cell pics.

This is a pretty sweet ride, never seen one before and not in any catalogues that I have seen. No serial need to pull the pups and see what they are cause they sound pretty nice...very crisp and articulate. Sharp angled Mint Collection logo, Tokai made perhaps? Feels lacquered or an acrylic...

Time to downsize big time so why not start with the best of the best here folks? :D I think, out of all the guitars I have owned (and currently own) over the years, that Nav's come out on top for tone, build quality/consistency, and near custom luthier built specs & attention to detail. I would...

1982 Greco Super Real 800 / EGC68-80 All lacquer finish with original wafflebacked tuners. The guitar was nicely wired with 4 push/push pots when I bought it along with an old early 80's Seymour Duncan JBJ pup in the neck and a Dimarzio in the bridge. Both picukps are coil tapped with the neck...

1990s Bacchus BLJ-59V. Catalysed lacquer & sanding sealer stripped, 5 coats of tung oil applied, dried, and nitro'ed with 4 thin coats. Buffed and polished, body is smooth and neck has only 3 coats with the lacquer allowed to seep into the pores so you can feel more of the wood where it matters...

Hey Guys So this arrived yesterday but not 100% on what model it is? No logo, removed (why god...why!?). Tokai tuners, neck heel stamp 12=7 A, Tokai pickups and electronics are all original with untouched solder. 1 piece body covered in a super thin checked to hell lacquer. I would assume a...

So I saw one of these Campbell 335s and got into a bidding war on it about 2 years ago on Yahoo. I backed off at 135K Yen and it sold for close to 150K. It looked better built than anything I had ever seen MIJ and even Historic wise. Stock Kluson double ringed tuners, double bound fret edge...

OK, I had posted this one just after I had won it about 2 months ago. We were talking about how it looked to be a 1 piece etc. Well it is close...about the last 15% of it is a second piece...bummer but it is really hard to tell. Gorgeous piece of Sen Ash too!! The REAL kick in the head is...

Hey Guys I would assume these are Gibson pickups in my 1992 OBG or no? I am an Orville peon compared to other brands :laugh2:. Cheers for the help! A few pics as I think someone might ask lol...it is more of an Antique Vintage Burst but looks more tobacco indoors. The evening sun sure makes...

Wow...this looks like a killer rare Greco! "The Greco" name written in cursive but open book headstock, what looks to be a solid flame top with a nice ebony fretboard and Dry 82's. Mark...you scooping this one :D? http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k131661073 More Pics...

Well I, among many I assume, were waiting to bid on this as it was supposed to end in the morning...well I guess the seller either thought it would not reach a higher amount, needed the money ASAP, or got sick of people asking him questions and so he just ended it to the highest bidder!? A...

Hello everyone, I know this is not a early 80's model but it sure looks good! 2 piece Swamp Ash body, flame Birdseye neck, all gold hardware, active pickups, real abalone inlays, etc. 120K yen new, are these common? Not really up on my Tokai Strats like I am on the Love Rocks :oops...

Hey guys So this guitar looks VERY interesting IMO! I have NEVER seen a full gold Super Real Custom Mint Collection before EVER. No catalogs have this recorded and no serial number on the back. It seems to me to be a custom ordered model as it does not look like a repaint (paint looks too well...

OK...where to begin here Very little is known on these guitars but what is known is that they were built, possibly as a side project that never took off(??), from around 1984 to 1987 (??) by Tokai. From what I gather, they made a scale of models similar to the LS-60, 80, etc but used a...

Just arrived on Wednesday along with a real Rickenbacker bass I got for near free! This is one of those cool and more rare transitional period Mint Collections, an EGF59-70 I suspect? Most likely made around August of 81 or there about. No open "O", MC truss cover, long tenon, all original...

Hey guys So I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy a newer guitar instead of a vintage. I had my reservations as I would rather invest in some older Japanese made wood vs. newer Chinese made mystery wood lol however the price was so stupid, the praises on this forum are too good, and the...

So this just arrived today and I must say that it destroys every other guitar in my small collection. It was made in August 82, right on the transitional month from the regular Super Reals to the beginning of the Mint Collection with the long tenon construction and amazing necks etc. The...

OK...who bought it? Anyone here? Man if I had the cash I would have scooped it! I love the professionally done checked finish on it as well :) http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d100645386 Photos: http://album.yahoo.co.jp/albums/my/128031/

Scooped up this gorgeous P Bass copy a couple of days ago for coffee change! Looks to be in fine aged shape and being made at the old M plant in May of '78, it should be every bit as good or better than a Fender P Bass from the same era :D

OK who here wants to hear a happy and yet depressing tale? Grab your blankets and a hot cocoa and I will take you away to a land of happiness that soon turns to crap! LOL So I went during my lunch break to pick up my highly awaited and anticipated rare Tokai with what I thought was a Burl top...
