TOKAI Explorer 1982 - Yahoo!オークション

I have cherished it for many years, but since it is difficult to manage, I have decided to let it go.

Since the number of units shipped was extremely small, it is unlikely that it will ever appear on the market.
Since there are no modifications at all, I think it is suitable for TOKAI enthusiasts.

I also own one made in 1984. The model made in 1982 has a selector switch plate and is more realistic. Not available in 84 model. Overall, the one made in 1982 is well-made.The rose on the fingerboard is also made from the core and is almost completely black, so I think it is valuable. There are no cracks in the binding. The condition of the neck is currently a bit warped, but it does not affect play much. I have never touched the truss rod nut. Also, there are no signs of any tools being used, so the adjustment width remains the same as when it was new. I could have adjusted it, but I didn't because it would leave tool marks on the nut. If you wish, we will adjust the neck before handing it to you.
The frets are cloudy because they are not played. I think there's just over 80% left. There is no problem with the control section. There are no gully on the pots. There are many polishing scratches overall. There are three noticeable dents on the back of the body. There are also scratches on the back of the neck. As you know, it is all-maho. Weight is about 3.7kg. I wouldn't say it's in mint condition, but I've stored it with care so I'm confident in its condition. I do not have a hard case for this child, so I will include a hard case style one, but please think of it as a substitute for packaging material. Therefore, please understand that I will not touch on the extent of the case.

Listed as a Limited Edition guitar, so small batches of these were made in 1982.
