All sorted now, picked up a Gibson LPJ faded for ?350 :)

MIJ and more expensive than a Gibson DC faded. Needs to be MIK or MIJ.

Gotta be a DC, I have a Gibson LPJ SC.

As per title :)

Hi, long time since I've been on here. A friend of mine is looking for a MIC Tokai USG50 in white ( the 3 pickup model).

I'm going to look into the hollowed out strat body with very light klusons and a slim Tele neck. Checking the individual weight's it should balance like a normal Strat. Have you got that LS150 syndrome ? Put it in a corner , walk away and then come back and pick it up ! I used to call that...

In the UK they call it tonse ( well they did back in the 80's ). I used to work in a car repair shop as a kid and oftern you would hear one of the panel beaters say " Knock up some tonse and whack it in the dent ", After watching American Hotrod I noticed they call it Bondo ? Sounds a bit...

We looked at my LS150 last night and there is no filler that we could see around the inlays ( which was nice ). I noticed that filler started to show more on post 2005 Tokai's for some unknow reason ? But some of the Gibson Standards I have seen are more like car body filler :o On the back...

I was thinking of either a very premium ( and no doubt expensive ) Swamp Ash strat body hollowed out ( think Thinline Tele ) with one pickup, fixed bridge and a lightened neck for balance. OR Tada A Wesley Travel Guitar :)

Many thanks for all the kind words. The LS150 went to a new home tonight and to an extremely nice person. Sorry to all the others that expressed interest, but I'm sure other LS150's will surface. I shall continue to look at the forum. I have a guitar builder in mind to build me a new strat...

I cant sit too good at the moment and that could be a long term issue. I was thinking about one of those travel guitars and then drilling holes in the body or getting a new body made out of very lightweight wood for my strat and just keeping one pickup and a fixed bridge. There is always the...

No, its a standard homemarket Japanese LS150 from 2005. They have offered Wine Red as a colour option for some time in the LS150.

Many thanks for the kind words guys. Well she's up for sale in classifieds for ?695 for a very quick sale. http://www.tokaiforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=105349#105349 .

Sold to an extremely nice person :D

If that still appears to be a reasonable price, then I may ask ?695 for a very very quick sale. I will mull it over . I'm not out to make anything ( in fact I know I will lose money ), but I dont have the mobility to parcel and post it, so someone will have to come to me :( I will be the best...
