I am starting a new thread for this discussion so as not to hijack another post. I'll try to reproduce the relevant items so far: I originally asserted: Dave_Mc agreed: mirrorboy mostly agreed, but clarified: I agree the issue is authenticity and, in fact, I would probably go so far as...

I am going to start another discussion thread on authenticity rather than further hijack this post. See here http://www.tokaiforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=20531

Apologies in advance, but I am on a [part-time] mission for precise guitar provenance terminology. I think this is the only way we can all discuss these things with clarity and civility. I think it's important to distinguish between originals, reproductions, and counterfeits. Another valid...

You can try to talk to this guy, but you'll need to figure out shipping from Canada I guess: http://kitchener.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-musical-instruments-guitars-Early-80s-Tokai-Breezysound-Telecaster-W0QQAdIdZ446250626 I am not associated with seller, never talked to him, just been watching...

Not that you can trust the serial number, but this one is 05xxxx which might suggest 2005. If that's the case, that was very much at the end of the "Make in Korea" run, not the start, so I am not sure that theory fits well. Yes, it's crazy to discuss provenance of fakes ...

If it's a fake Tokai, it's not the infamous "Canadian Fakai" that we normally discuss i.e. the one with "Make in Korea" [sic] on the back of the headstock. Also, the headstock has the typical UK version nib in the bookmark, which none of the Canadian Fakai have. It might be another fake...

This tele's been for sale for a long long time (at least half a year, possibly longer), the seller is not getting $850 for it, but he hasn't quite publically accepted that yet. That provides negotiation leverage, but some people don't take a negotiation well. I've been watching it all this...

http://kitchener.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-musical-instruments-amps-pedals-Vintage-Fender-slave-amp-W0QQAdIdZ330174088 I think someone is highly confused by their gear: - "Slave" amp that "that runs through a patch cord hooked up to any other amplifier"? That sure sounds like a speaker cab ...

Brilliant. His other auction is worth a look as well http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ultimate-Relic-Bridge-for-Precision-Bass-Titanic-Survivor-may-not-be-true/230686759312?ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1&ih=013&category=42455&cmd=ViewItem#ht_692wt_922

You weren't specific on what style or mfg country you're looking for, but if I may make an educated guess ... right now, there only appears to be one Love Rock MIJ on Kijiji in Burlington...

Bump, still looking.

This is a public service announcement regarding taking photographs of your gear for public posting ... Please, if not for your sake, then for ours, put on some clothes if you're taking photos of reflective objects. For the sake of all that is sacred, please ... Don't do this [mildly NSFW]: -...

I am not personally very familiar with these songs, but my mystical Google powers tell me that: - "waiting for an alibi" is in C#m in standard tuning - "black rose" is in Gb (but played as G in 1/2 step down tuning) - "boys are back in town" is in Ab (but played as A in 1/2 step down tuning)

Above photo is the closest to the actual colour of my guitar of all the photos, including most of my photos. Still, it's actually greener than even that. Anyways ... I feel like a psych patient that is forced to admit it was all an illusion under duress when I say "Yes, you must be right...

Ok, thanks for all the comments and discussions -- you guys rock! I managed to find a Gibson Goldtop LP Traditional at a local music store and the people there were nice enough to let me take side-by-side photos below. As before, these have been white balance calibrated to the grey card. I...

Thanks for the suggestion, Matti. Now posted: http://www.tokaiforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=18907.

Posting a WTB on a great recommendation from a discussion thread here ... I am looking for a genuine Tokai case for a 2002 Tokai MIJ Love Rock guitar. Either an original Japanese version (i.e. beige exterior + pink padding) or the new China version (i.e. dark grey exterior + green padding)...

Now we're [literally] talking! Hm, so far, not a single person who has seen the photos here or elsewhere thinks it's anything other than a goldtop. I wonder what that might imply :D ... but I am a little stubborn :wink:, so below are a few more photos, all colour calibrated against the...

Hi SneakyJapan: well, right now, it's priceless, I am not selling it :-). But it was offered for just under a $1000 CAD to me.
