Another NGD!
« on: July 12, 2011, 11:33:25 PM »
This will be the last one for a while, but here it is! Thanks to Plastercaster getting rid of the spare Tokai he had I have now ended up with his lovely Jap Tokai...and man is it fine! He mentioned that its a LS85F from 2002 which is 2 piece back with flamed maple top! Lovely finish on it (though I might strip it to plain kinda like Paul Kossoff's) & I've got some new pots pickups etc coming....good times abound!

Can you please stop this behaviour - it is giving me GAS.

Nice score though - looks great!

What's going on with all these NGDs?  You're becoming the new Twinfan!  :wink:

Nice catch though, Tokai make great guitars (even though I always seem to end up selling all the ones I buy)

Thanks Guys. Philly, I got rid of 2 & got 2 in, the lil bitch project has been going on since February and has finally come to fruition, but I genuinely think I'm sorted now for guitars (yeah right!). I looked at my guitar stand & there's 4 strats, 2 tele's, 3 LP's (a-likes) & 2 acoustics. Not including the2 strats in the lofts (back from when I 1st started) I think I better quit for a while and just work on my playing

However I am looking to get rid of one of the strats  :?

New Twinfan my arse, nobody is taking that role :lol:

Yeah, I was being a teensy bit hypocrital there....  :lol:


(I think I've bought six or seven guitars in the last six months - not to mention various necks, bodies etc - and only got rid of three....)

I don't recall seeing that many NGD threads Philly - what have you been buying?

I have bought 0 guitars in the last 12 months. A new record for me!

I might've got the timeframe a bit wrong, Ian - but there was the doublecut Tokai Junior (now sold*), an Orville Junior (also sold#), a couple of Edwards Juniors, a PRS Starla X, the Signature LP (there was an NGD thread for that), the parts for the hardtail relic Strat (work in progress)..... and a Tokai goldtop which I didn't like and sent back.  :oops:


* at a loss.
# at a massive loss.  :(

Having read that list I do remember threads on those! Such a shame that you made a loss on them.

I was pissed off about the Orville - I didn't buy to sell, but they normally go for pretty decent prices and I thought I'd get most of my money back.  It was one of those cases where you have about 150 people watching on eBay, but no-one bids.  :|
