Bacchus strat and Tokai SG-155

[Big Willie Style]

Hey guys, downsizing time. I've got these on Craigslist locally, and soon to be on the 'bay, but thought I'd give forum members a heads up as well. Both are in great shape except for the SG with the nick on the headstock from the factory. Take a look at the pics and let me know if you have any questions.

Always liked that oil finished Strat..... and for anyone itching for an SG, here it is. Good luck with the sales.

C'mon Marcus, you still have room in your storage unit don't you.

Thanks for the luck!

Two really great guitars

Thanks Marcus. By the way, I think it's worth mentioning that the wiring on the strat has been changed a little. I got the nasty treble bleed or whatever the hell that is (tone-sucker) taken out and vintage style wiring job done, with an orange drop cap.

Did you notice a big difference after that? I've kept both of mine stock... love the pickups but always interested in tone enhancements.

Hi Marcus,

I'm not the original owner so I'm not sure if that setup in the picture was stock or not. But I found that the middle knob destroyed the tone and just made it sound like a muddy, $50 pawn shop guitar. Sounds MUCH better now, to my ears anyways! Wish sound could improve through my fingers as quickly as a soldering iron!

Also open to trades for something I don't have if anyone is interested. I'd be interested in a tele with a thick neck, a p90 LP, a composite acoustic. Try me...

SG155 as in 155.000 yen suggested retail price?

So a real Tokai SG Japanese mid range top model akin to my LS150?

I'm interested since a good SG is something I really want and Gibson can't deliver...

 

[Big Willie Style]

Hi Coolguy,

Yes, a real 155,000 yen Japanese model, now actually SG-185, and listing for slightly over 190,000 on Tokai's website. If you like, pm me with any questions you have and maybe we can work something out.

Good luck Jason

Thanks Marcus. In better times, I'd hope to send them your way in return for a couple you're tired of. Ah well.

I'd snatch that SG right away if only I could get this brand new LP Trad sold which I received from a trade recently.

That SG is easily up there with a Gibson 61 reissue.... if not better and they don't pop up very often (for good reason)

Judging by the insane quality I got when buying my LS150 online (I took a leap of faith quality-wise, I had never played a Tokai before), I can imagine a Tokai instrument of that value/numbering will be at least as great a player as my Love Rock - and that's why I want one.

2.5 WEEK OLD GIBSON LP TRAD Y U NO SELL FOR ANY DECENT OFFER?!
