    Any Ideas On This Wood Body Talbo?

    I just bought a Tokai Talbo on ebay that supposedly has a wood body. As far as I know the wood body talbos (Woodys) have wider bodies but this one is the same shape as the aluminum bodies. Anyone heard of a standard size Talbo with a wooden body...

    Talbo Blazing Fire

    Just to add to my last comment about the serial number. The number can be seen at the back of the neck just before the neck joins the body. You don't have to take the neck off to see it.

    Talbo Blazing Fire

    Hi, I don't claim to be an expert on Talbos but from my research if it does not have a serial number and it has 4 screws holding the neck on it is most likely a late 90s or newer. Also, it may be made in Korea. I have 3 1980s talbos, including a bass. The early ones have 2 screws holding the...

    Schizo Tokai LS-60 Reborn on ebay

    I like this 1978 LP Reborn on ebay but being new to this I'm reluctant to buy. I call it a schizo (lovingly) because it seems to have two personalities, the top being flamed on one side and plain on the other side. Any help on originality and guidance would be appreciated. Thanks...

    I got this 1984 bass new years eve. Very happy with it so far. The neck is thin like a Jazz Bass, 24 frets, fairly heavy. Has active pickups with a battery in the back under the round cover. The intonation is perfect.

    My about-to-ben\acquisition
