Tales of guitars played, repairs made, wood stripped and sprayed, and stories of those that sold and others that forever stayed.

Just scored this :D
Solid slab of mahogany, bakelite tuners, slide heaven.
Should be fun after a good cleaning & a string change!

Well it appears this may be a rare prototype Tokai LS200 :D
Pardon the crappy cellphone pics.
Ebony board found on LS200's, Tokai cavity routes front and back.
1 piece back and neck, ebony board, mother of pearl inlays, & HUGE shouldered neck with the back flattened which is interesting and really comfy.
Light weight only weighing around 3.2kg without hardware.
Will be refretting and rebinding this one followed by a natural back and tea to lemon unbursted top =)

Sigh...another project, WTF am I doing when I have too many already and my woodshop is not built!?
Late 70's Burny or early 80's Tokai...no truss screw holes?
1 piece quatersawn back, nicely grained top that will pop with a lemon finish, Tokai type pup routes, and traces of nibs, fat neck...LS80?
We will see soon enough.

UPDATE:
Looks like it is indeed an ebony board and MOP inlays...what the hell is this?
Another mystery machine :D
