TST80 ET

[Sigmania]

Just documenting examples of these.

There were TST70, 80 and 100 ET models.

Silver hardware added 20,000 yen to the base model and gold added 30,000 yen.

Base was a TST50, so gold hardware on the TST80 ET.

This is disturbing…

This is what this guy did to this guitar when he couldn’t sell it. Barf.

This guy is calling his guitar a TS80ET, but it has gold hardware and is more likely a TST80 ET.
