You must come across a few of the older Tokais around Tokyo Harold? What happened with the 150 you played last week, too expensive?

Re: The Official Centre Fold Spread~Oh~licious Drool~Oh~rama Photo Thread
I've seen a couple of LS-150, LS-120s and LS-80s over the last few years. They don't stay around for too long here though. For that particular LS-150 I have been waiting for a price since last Sunday but guitars I saw 3 weeks ago just got listed for sale now. They get lots of guitars there but it might be gone already I guess.

Yes, that is it. Just got the call last night and picked it up today. So far I am very impressed. Nice fat frets on these and a huge neck.
I think there are a few cherrybursts out there including one from Yamauchi's collection.

That's awesome Harold! I'm not a cherry burst fan either but that one looks great. Congrats!

Thanks Cliff, so far so good, it plays really well and is fairly light.
I will do a posting later with some more closeups and a review.

Re: The Official Centre Fold Spread~Oh~licious Drool~Oh~rama Photo Thread
Haha cheers man
Yeah it is an awesome Strat...not in the catalogues but I suspect a 1200 for the time as all the other oil/lacquer finished Grecos were 1200's Tossed a quilted maple neck on it with an ebony board as I am not a fan of the Greco neck it came with. Now it has that SVR vibe to it

Re: The Official Centre Fold Spread~Oh~licious Drool~Oh~rama Photo Thread
On an old crappy MIJ strat that has an MDF body lol.
Sold the body for what the guitar cost me, kept the neck I thought it was dirty rosewood until I scraped it 2 days ago...realized it is ebony. There must have been a stockpile of Macassar ebony in the 70's as the Gallan Firebird I have has really nice Macassar ebony on it as well and it was a budget guitar at the time. I will be refinishing it this weekend in some aged nitro |

Hope you're not going to refinish that Udo. Looks perfect the way it is!

Re: The Official Centre Fold Spread~Oh~licious Drool~Oh~rama Photo Thread
Hell No!
I LOVE this finish and have tried to win one of these for 4 years..they always go up too high on the bids for me...this flew under the radar for a good price...with a hard case but I left that behind to save $$ on shipping. Got a free Fernandes strap and super old school cool guitar cable with it however. That and the Greco order made booklet that it came with new It will be a partial partscaster however due to the neck swap |
