Seriously, it looks like a 70's first generation copy - quite similar to the Univox Les Pauls I have - bolt on neck and 5 ply binding on the headstock.

Not bad players - some sound quite good. Not a Tokai though.

Welcome to the forum....

Tudor, he was making a joke as was his reply:

"What da ya mean, I'm funny? Funny like a clown here to amuse you

That is a line from the movie Goodfellas just before Joe Pesci loses it after one of the other guys says he's funny....

Thanks Marcus,

well, I've lived in the UK for one year in '91 and sometimes it was very hard for a Continental European to understand the kind of humor my collegues were practicing ... I admit!

But it is my innermost belief that I never want to hurt someone just by being misunderstood or that I did misunderstood somebody ...

So - the joke was excellent and I was laughing whenever I've read the posting ... great!

Roger - breathing a sigh of believe

Hi, my friend,

I know what kind of tough boys you Texans are! Don't forget Alamo! 8) (That's no joke!)
Had several contacts with Texans of the American Forces Europe in Heidelberg ...

I appreciate your standing, but I've really had misunderstood you!!

Thanks for your accommodation!!
