Here is your chance to own a very rare Greco EGF-1800. She is a special one in many ways. First of all because of the weight which is an even 4 kg or 8 lbs 13 oz, making her one of the lightest examples from the Super Real era. She is also one of the earliest 1800s, I haven't logged an earlier...

Rare early 1981 Tokai LS-200 OS for sale. Only few of these custom order Tokai's were made and this one has been in Europe since at least the early 90s. A former owner has put mini switches on it which were later changed for the brass studs you see now. This Tokai has a beautiful finish which...

Early 1980 LS-120 for sale in CS finish. This Tokai has a striking appearance because of the grain lines in the veneer top. And I personally love the way the colour is faded on the place where the forearm rests, just like an original 50s burst. She came to me with Grovers and a not functioning...

I already put this up on MLP forum and forgot to post here. Here's the review & pics; My 1979 LS-80 is a really warm and mellow sounding guitar unplugged, my 1980 LS-120 is more bright and snappy. This one is right in between. But when I plugged her in she was very dark sounding on all switch...

Hmmm, never seen such a thing before, anyone? https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-l216896069

Look what I found..

I had a faulty pickup selector switch and wanted to change the pickups, so I chose to swap the complete harness while I was at it. First surprise when I took out the original harness; mini pots! Second surprise; PIO caps, the same as seen on LS-150 & 200 of that era. Third suprise; no direct...

So, I'm quitting collection MIJs. I think I have learned what's to learn about them, found exquisite examples along the way and above all had great fun doing it but it's time for a new hobby. I already have sold several guitars the past yar but these are the ones I have the most problem with...

For the ones interested, about pot codes (of course): Pot codes on Burny's used from 1981 to 1991, so by Kasuga, Matsumoku and Dyna have the following format: First line: M500kOhmA (tone) or M500kOhmB (volume) Second line: YM L Year = year M = month L = type M = 1-9, O, N and D; 1=january...

I have these pictures for some time in my database and every now and then I go there to look for clues but this guitar really keeps on puzzling me. I could use some help, any thoughts are welcome. This is a 1978 or maybe 1979 Burny FLG. This period is interesting in Burny history for there was...

I always thought these were LS70s. The seller claims that because it has feb & nitro finish it's a 100.. http://www.ebay.nl/itm/TOKAI-LS-100-Love-Rock-56-GOLDTOP-P-90s-82-Japan-Fret-edge-binding-Nitro-/390342628993?pt=Guitar&hash=item5ae23bd681#ht_1602wt_1159 I believe Glen owns one, maybe he...

Hi guys & galls! It's sad to see that the UK Tokai convention has died a slow death :cry: So, I'm planning a get together in the south of the province Limburg, Holland for MIJ enthousiasts. For now, let's call it the Mainland Europe MIJ Convention :D. The date and location are not set yet but...

I like to share my beautiful latest purchase with you guys. I think she's quite a looker and the nice thing is she changes face when viewed from different angles. She's a fairly early 1981 model and the odd thing is that the 1981 catalog doesn't feature VF finish for the LS100, that starts in...

Never seen those before but I'm no F****r type expert. Are these good? Ceramic or alnico? Ohm readings?

edit all the info at the end of the thread

This is supposed to be a part of the 1984 catalog. A LS180, is this right? It's a part of this ebay auction: http://cgi.ebay.nl/Tokai-Vintage-Love-Rock-LS200-Japan-alt-und-edel-/200616564244?pt=Gitarren&hash=item2eb5add614#ht_8324wt_1139
