WTB: Tokai LS80 Goldtop (1979-1982)(EU only)

Emiel · Post by **Emiel** » Tue Jan 09, 2018 5:00 am

I've had an 1980 LS80 Old Sunburst for years which I love. But I've always wanted a Goldtop.

Anyone in Europe who wants to part with theirs? Or do you know one for sale? Weight under 4 kg is a must. Doesn't need to be fully original. Can be traded with my LS80 OS.

Looks good! How does one buy from Rinkya? I can imagine that importing it into Europe can be pricey...

Got a few offers but unfortunately they are all from outside Europe.

So still looking!

Hi Emiel

Are you looking to get rid of your OS? I’m looking for a good ls80/100 at the moment.

I spied a goldtop ls80 on reverb the other day -

Hi,

Thanks for your interest. Unfortunately, the one on Reverb is a heavy beast (4.7 kg).

My LS80 Old Sunburst isn't leaving before I have found a Goldtop.
