Quote from Armin

Yes, it has a strap button - since I use a "DiMarzio Clip Lock Strap" I photoshoped it away

thanks Armin, was wondering about that.. tho gotta admit am kinda trying to avoid this thread.... already have one guitar waiting for me to check out:
http://intl.fender.com/en-CA/g…rboard-mystic-aztec-gold/
hard to get a good pic of this finish, also decent price for a standard strat, something tells me it is a bit of an under rated sleeper so
I am curious to check it out...

getting 2 at once seems a bit excessive, esp after xmas mayhem... also want to go somewhere warm and sunny in feb... so gotta be strong...

also beautiful tokai Guitartone that finish and flame is warm and sunny

Yeah that Tokai's outstanding. Man, threads like this are TOUGH!

I feel you Sam! I would suffer sooooo much having to play those Tyler, Charvel and MusicMan guitars you own while watching this thread...

Just sold it.
Ordered another one 6 months ago, will be completed in February...not sure anything can compete with it at $2400.00.

Here's my LP std root beer, the one and only.

I refuse to look at or post in this thread...

D'Oh!

This strat looks better in person, a very nice gold with flecks in it. A great AM Strat at a good price. Very hard to pass up IMO.

tyvm for the info Drog, saw some pix an a utube demo earlier, so got my interest, and reviews seem generally good, one person didn't like the color, and you know how those things can go. it's much better to get info in a place like this. I tried finding some pix to post here, but the decent ones I saw b4 are gone. It does change a bit with what kind of light is used.

Most likely going to check one out this week, and a/b it with a very plain standard to see. a reg is ~1800$ here... these are floating from 1300 to 1700, depending, so good deals to be had. I'm guessing that they would not do a sub par build for a 60th anni edition, that and if they had better online pix they probably would have sold faster. Also gonna look up those custom pup's to see what they are all about. Goldtop strat is kinda cool too. saw a pic of an aged in aztec, it gets darker, mebbe it was the light, but looked nice--could always take it to a tanning booth to get it to age faster--bet that would get some very odd reactions, ppl would talk

Joking aside, I might also have a chance to try a few of em, but I'm hearing they are pretty consistent as far as build goes. If it's anything like a regular AM, and 1300 or better, then defo a good deal, especially if its a keeper.. Also heard some talk about strat or fender prices going up, possibly here iirc... so need to look into that, and lock in. haven't played a strat in months, since i don't have one atm, but always liked em.. hopefully can find a keeper, but that is always a rare thing too... and usually has nothing to do with cost, but it is better if it doesn't hurt too much ...

Also wow Guitartone.. 2400 for that Tokai? That's nuts, not surprised it sold. Someone is gonna have a kick ass NGD there and a huge grin. Those pics were just shameless guitar porn. With that finish it makes you think one of the volume knobs can control the temperature of the sun looks like it also has a great carve to it, and specs are hard to beat. If those are the kind of axes you sell regularly, you must have quite a rep for getting the nice ones.

No one demands that you have to throw away the old guitars
Last year I got three new guitars but I think I can not do this every year

Gibson Les Paul (Buckethead signature). Baritone monstrous-behemoth that barely fits in my hands.

Dayumm, that's nice! Is that a Collectors Choice guitar or not? If not, what's the difference with an R7, for instance?

Thank you! It's a Signature series based on his 57. It has a custom neck profile, a "player's cut" for easier upper neck access, a smoothed neck heel joint, a custom gold color w/ a black stinger on the rear of the headstock, and deeper pickup cavities that allow you lower the Ron Ellis custom wound PAFs deeper into the body (supposedly improves resonance). This was Ron's guitar that I got in a trade a few years back... Lee Roy got #001 and he got #002.

Bought a early 80th Burney LP Custom with the legendary VH-1 PUs in december.
Like that guitar at this moment more than my Gibson LP Std. 2007. Neck is better to play. Is my favorite guitar at this moment.
If it were a horse it would be an full-blooded Arab with shiny fur in the sun! Move volume careful! Yiiiha!
Was my first blind shoot for a guitar on ebay. Hits direct in the middle of the 10!

Cool man! Never heard of it and I have to say I've never heard of the man either. I'll check his music out.

Beautiful guitar...more than likely made by Tokai.

Quote from Guitartone

Beautiful guitar...more than likely made by Tokai.

Thank you very much. This guitar is really sexy. You are right.
I make since one year experiences and researches in MIJ-Guitars of the 70s and 80s. I've been read a lot. The differences between Tokai, Greco, Orville (by Gibson), Burny, Bacchus, Ibanez, etc. are not sooooo big. Because all this Guitars are build mostly by Fujigen and Terrada. The distributor was Gakki. Usually the guitars they were build by Terrade like this Burny has the better standart. Not all, but mostly. I think all of them were build with a long tenon. Often they have better electric like potis, switches, etc.
In simple words: There are no diffrences between Tokai and Burny if they come from Terrada. Same factory. Same workers and handiman. Same quality. There are often the same parts.
The only problem is the comparability retrospectively. Witch type of Tokai is the same type of Burny. I would say a Tokai LP Custom cherry burst of Terrada is the same guitar like the Burny LP Custom cherry burst of Terrada. Differences are maybe only on the tuner labels and on the stamped serial number. Old Burny's have no serial numbers. That makes it a little bit difficult. But the early VH-1 PUs showing that the Burny was build in the early 80s. In this color (not black) and with this PUs this Burny is very, very rar. I was a little lucky with this deal. I'm sure the worth will rise the next years.
Tokai, so as good as they are, I think from collecters view currently very overrated. I could imagine that the worth will rise no more. But this is my personel point of view. Maybe I'm wrong.

I have seen your Reborn LS420... wonderfull guitar! We can see the top quality with the first look. Absolute nice one!
But the price shocks me a bit...
Do you have a clip with the sound of it with a Kemper in Studio (no mic) version? I'm very interessted in.
