Withdrawn Goldtop with P90s (lacquer finish. Newer or vintage)

[Sunnys141]

Looking for a nice Goldtop with P90s - Greco, Tokai, Burny, Bacchus etc. Can also be newer models like this one. Must be nitro/lacquer finished. I'm located in Ontario, Canada. Hit me up if you have one you might wanna sell.

I am thinking that with Tokai you may not get all lacquer unless it is a crazy expensive model. The ones that say lacquer are probably the lacquer over poly as we have been discussing recently.

That said, you may need to look at special order Tokai gold tops like the Reborn Old line.

The LS376S sure may be all lacquer, but would be pricey.

Hmmm the reborn old and the 376s are definitely very pricey.. that’s out of my budget for sure. But that last one, 186s could work. Looks like it sold for 140k yen, which I could afford. I wonder if that is another lacquer over poly though. And do you think that the 220s that Kurosawa is selling is also lacquer over poly?

I’m not sure and I don’t know who you could ask to get an accurate answer. Maybe Gottfried at Faber since he did the R4. Worth asking.

Nuthin wrong with lacquer over poly IMO

It won't age like vintage but the old skool Bacchus finishes are typically quite thin and it's hard to beat the quality of Deviser builds like the BLS line circa 1998 - 2005

Only problem is try locating any of those now days ....... I sold about a half dozen of them years ago ......

My LS-70 1981 has checking all over it
