Thanks, I'll try that :)

Yes, exactly my thoughts also, there's a lot different opinions on the Sigmas circulating around, but it's very hard to find real info on especially the electrics. Only thing that seems to be sort of confirmed, is that the early versions with the pancake plywood bodies were made at the Tokai...

Ok super cool, thank you for the answer. Very interesting that production shifted in the late 70'ies, do you know what company produced the acoustics?

BTW: Love the adage, as I would also like to consider myself a smart buyer. Event though my permanent brokenness somehow is sort of a testament to a somewhat different story :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh yes, that's exactly one of those that I've been looking for, would love a LS 100 in yellow burst but with a flame maple top! I also saw a really roadworn Reborn Old to a fair price, that would also be something :) The Sigma accoustics seem to be quite well documented and great playing...

Thanks a bunch for the great help and tip on yahoo auction that I followed and immediately fell in love with a guitar with the most beautiful quilted maple top, that I in no way can afford at the moment :lol: But there are definitely options in the right pricerange out there, especially if one...

Hey, thanks and sorry for the late reply, I've been quite busy lately. :) Now that I've had the chance to polish frets and adjust it, I can really feel the quality of the instrument. It's a great playing guitar and the pups are very dynamic, even though I have to play with stainless strings...

Thank you :) Yeah, I think so as well, since it is in such excellent condition. It does have a few minor scratches and very small dents, but nothing severe. It even came with a nice other brand case that was probably bought alongside it originally. It does need some minor adjustments though...

Hello Tokaiforum Just want to share some pictures of my first vintage Tokai, a Silver Star SST-40 from 83 hat I bought yesterday. It is in great condition and plays incredible well with a great neck, that fits my hand perfectly. All in all a very nice guitar, that has made me consider...
