That is more in line with what I expected to measure. The base plates and stickers sure seem authentic, but I guess all the other parts could have been swapped.

What should these 57 PAFs read on ohm meter? I have 2 of them that both measure over 17k ohms. Seems way high for PAF.

Mentioned this in another thread. Perhaps this will help. Fake or not? Tokai or Fakai? Thanks.

I've searched this forum, read all the posts about Fakai, however still unable to determine if the guitars sold a few years back by JSD that say "Manufactured under licence for Tokai Gakki Co. LTD Make in Korea" are Fakai. I believe the answer is yes, but I don't know.

I have white one with a serial number not much higher than yours 50311xx. My sticker is missing, but I can see where it used to be due to that oval spot being whiter. Best I could ever determine was TSG-?? from 1985.

I guess the only thing we know for certain is that is was made at some point in the last 30 years. There is nothing apparently on the manual that 100% references the guitar or vice versa. Could be total mismatch. When did they start with the flower looking logo on the RLCs? I didn't get...

I don't know what that case is. I ended up with case with Burny logo. I bought used in 2007. The manual must be inconsistent with the actual guitar since no RR logo on pickguard and I think a 2002 woud have 3 hole spade truss rod cover instead of the 2 hole tree. Its solid maho, silver...

Let me clarify what I said a bit... I have best guessed this to be 86 or 87 based on past and ongoing research. My guitar doesn't have the RR pickguard though. May someone can read what is there and get a date ro something. Manual_1 Manual_2 Manual_3 Guitar_1 Was going to post the images...

I have an 86 or 87 RLC-85RR or so the card says with it, but I can't read it. Lightning bold headstock logo.

I have one of those. Not sure what year though. It is a great guitar.

I have that same exact model and color. Serial number about 100 higher than that one. I don't recall if mine looked like that or not. Mine is not chambered and weighs 10 pounds. Great guitar.

Thank for the info. It don't mean anything really. I jut figured they all coming out of the same factory back in the day but with different names. I don't really have any greco pu experience other than what I percieve to be totally bottom end in my 1980 Super Power EGC-500. I have VH-1 in...

Is there any correlation to these Greco pickups such as dry z, screamin 82, etc to Burny pickups such as vh-1, vh-4, etc? Surely they came from the same places?

Looks great. I bought 80 Super Power a while back with same finish. Previous owner did same thing, swapped all the black for creme and put on gold knobs. Also had Duncan pickups. Included in the purchase was all the original parts. It is back in its original configuration now.

Yeah looks cool. Seems to me to be late 80s Japan RLC-50
