    1978 Tokai LS-60 price check?

    Hi Eigen, I'm not sure if eBay Germany has an advanced search filter that displays recently sold items ? ... but that's what I would rely on. A few vendors list for crazy prices hoping an impatient buyer will push the buy button. One thing to check for on 1978 models, is whether the guitar has...

    Well crap, I accidentally bought a Tokai

    Chinese models have a serial number on the back of the headstock, while Korean models generally will not have serial #'s unless they are fakes. Known exeptions to the above are unauthorized Korean made guitars destined for Canada with serial #'s printed clear cello tape and 2000-2001 limited...

    1983 Tokai LS80 refret?

    Hi Otto, It's been awhile since we've spoken. How are things with you ? Brass saddles do suggest an LS-80. Was the neck refretted at some point ? Finishes on 1985 models might have changed from what they were in 1983, but in the absence of grain marks on the back of the neck + headstock, no...

    1983 Tokai LS80 refret?

    There are definitely nibs artifacts on yours, so i would say an LS-80 I've owned three 1983 LS 80's, all with nibs and all with lacquer finishes that were applied super thin on backs without use of any pore filler, so you can clearly see every mahogany grain depression in the back and seams if...

    Help me date / identify a Tokai Love Rock LP

    Authorized Korean Models didn't have serial #'s. 2007 + 2009 where the only years certain Chinese models used a 7 digit serial # format, which is why I initially thought these might be made in Japan, but it turns out they are outside serial number ranges of Japan models from those two years...

    MIJ__"Buy It Now"__deal of the day

    Cheers Wulfman, I suspect that it might be the original listing that was either never deleted, or perhaps relisted in error ? Not much time spent here of late, as I don't play much anymore. Focused on other things, mainly tennis. Still in the process of completing a few LP builds during bad...

    Hey guys, It may have been an honest mix-up .. or not .. hope the seller is an honest guy. Pics in that listing were of a CS LS-80 I purchased several years ago, so buyer beware. I made sure and checked that the guitar wasn't a close relative. Pics are identical to original listing a few...

    Greco Pickups

    I know Fatboy makes replica guitar parts, but I think it's really unfortunate they went to such great lengths to make their super dry's look exactly like dry Z's externally, including 1980's Maxon date codes and Z stamp. These Fatboy pickups are probably going to end up in a fair number of...

    The Definitive Guide to ESP Navigator History Post Mid 1990s

    It's going to be pretty difficult arriving at ironclad facts about Navi models and specs without the benefit of Japan domestic Navigator catalogs that spell everything out for those years. There were isolated examples of "limited model" script headstocks as early as 1999. I think finding out...
