Thanks,

This guy "yoshiyuki kyutan" (beachboys0914) who sells all the tokais on ebay. He gets them secondhand from places in japan. What does anyone know about him / his guitars.

Ned he tells me he knows you and that. So what are your views on him.

Its just i keep wanting to bid on his springy sounds, but they seem a little odd. They may be fine - it may be my lack of knowledge. His springy sound was originally advertised as 1978 - then changed to 1981 (ok i s'pose). but looking closer the bridge saddles say 'tokai' on them, i thought they were always meant to say 'final prospec' and the tuning pegs say 'tokai' on them, i thought they were meant to say 'original'.

Does this sound okay. If so - cool. but i'd like your advice.

Martin.
 
Martin, older tokai st models had 'Tokai' stamped on the bridge saddles and on the tuners. This was the case with the Les Paul Reborn models as well. I don't know when they changed it to final prospec/deluxe - probably '81 or '82. The Beach boys' gear looks to be accurately described as far as I can see.

Hope that helps.
