Up for sale my main acoustic guitar. It is a '76 made CE-1000, a Martin D28 replica from the second year Tokai launched CE (Cat's Eye) series, hence a lower production than later years. Yamauchi label signed as it should be.
This guitar has a quality solid spruce top with a lot of "espejuelo" (as spanish greatest guitarreros called bearclaw). According to spanish guitar tradition, classic and flamenco guitars of quality had to have that small waves which guaranteed a good sounding guitar. It seems Tokai knew this luthIery secret too ,because this guitar is plenty of it. Neck is made of beatifull mahogany with a carefully chosed ebony board. SIdes are old times rosewood made.
High action as I like at this time. Original blackTokai Martin replica case included.
In summary, a quality guitar from a great era.

Following some pics....
















I am asking 1.500 euro
Only trade accepted: Old 1980-83 Tokai ES-100/150 in good condition or any ES-335, natural finish preferred.

Greetings!
 
Forgot to mention original tag and small 4 pages book. are include on the sale of course. It is not so common keep them as they get lost with the time usually

Hi Luis,
I’m recent member to forum.

Your CE-1000 looks glorious - be a shame for you to sell.

I’m assuming the back and sides are all solid ? What model CE did solid wood for tops, back and sides get introduced - CE-800 and upwards - or does it depend on which year the guitar was made ? Ie could a later made CE-1000 have laminate sides ?

Rgds.
 
Hi Luis,
Week-end are you from? Is your guitar still available ? Is it possible to have pictures by mail and vidéo with sound ?
I'm in France 😎
