Couldn't resist - GAS struck again. I have an addiction...

[Twinfan]

I was cruising around t'internet earlier today and came across this little beauty.  It's a Japanese Tokai LS150 limited edition relic run, done by the Tokai factory.  I've got it from Coda Music who were selling them new last year for £1000.  They have a new one still in stock for £750 with a chevron flame but this straight flamed example looks better to me.  It's used and cost me just over £500 including a case and delivery.  A bargain, surely?

I've got a Zebra mule waiting to slot into the bridge position for that Jimmy Page look too  :D

I need help.  I can't resist a guitar deal.

Wow. Sick axe!!!

[Twinfan]

Cheers Ben  :)

I couldn't resist at that price, and it's a Japanese Love Rock so it should be good.  I don't usually buy without trying first, but I figured if I don't like it I can eBay it for little if no loss.

This is the "new" one they still have in stock for £750.  There's something about the angled flame stripes that don't look as pleasing to my eyes as the one I've bouhgt:

SWEET. I think we'd all have the addiction if we had the cash to fund it :P

[Twinfan]

Cash?  What's that?  Mr VISA helped out here...

:D I`ve not heard of anyone having a bad Tokia espeicially a MIJ model. Good bit of business there buddy !

 :D  8)

That is SWEET  :twisted:  :twisted:

I love my MIJ Tokai LP. I got it from my local music shop who were selling it new and at cost! I got it for £580. It's a love rock model but not a relic. I couldn't afford it either but at that price I figured I was crazy not to, Mr VISA helped me out too :)

I hope you like yours Twinfan.

[LazyNinja]

That looks amazing great deal too. I wanna get a MIJ Tokai.

[apmaman]

sweet geet you got there. You should get it wired with the jimmy page wiring diagram that is an exact copy of what he had in his LP's. A tribute to the man somewhat.

What were you saying when I bought that Strat a couple of weeks ago?

Pot.  

Kettle.

I think we should both take ourselves off to Gasoholics Anonymous.

Nice guitar - still not sure a LP should be relic'ed though.  I like my LP's perfect

I've been waiting for your comments Phil - you didn't disappoint!   :lol:

I really should stop looking, then I won't find these things in the first place.  I really must sell the three Ibanez RGs I've been promising to...

WezV - I know what you're saying about a "perfect" Les Paul, but they never look vintage enough for me.  The relicing just adds a bit of "vintage vibe" to my eyes.

How do you get them all past your partner?.....and how big a house do you have to have that many guitars, bet you need more space for your guitars then your partner has clothes/shoe space *L*(take it downsizing didn't happen *L*)

[Twinfan]

My wife is very understanding.  I was a GAS-aholic when we met so she accepts it's part of who I am.  I've offered to buy some home improvements as a sweetener  ;)

Downsizing?  Yeah, that went out of the window mate...
