On its way to Portugal and I know I am going to miss it. Also know the new owner will be over the moon with it. Onwards and upwards.

It is back up on Ebay at ?490 including transport to UK, France, Portugal and of course Spain. Anywhere else let me know. Here is the Ebay link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tokai-LC98S-Guitar-MIJ-/281344642927?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4181728f6f

BUMP. Double figures of watchers on the Bay but clearly no buyers not sure I want to put it back up what with commissions etc. Please drop me a line if interested as this really is a superb guitar in all respects.

Bump I will ship this anywhere Europe as in EEC so drop me a PM if anyone interested still on the Bay with 10 watchers. Depends where in Europe but we could be looking at around ?600 shipped. I think that is a steal but maybe I'm biased :-) I am also quite happy with PayPal. Would also...

Sadly selling this one as it is getting too heavy for me plus my hands are have tendon problems, old age I am afraid. I love this guitar but it needs someone who will play the hell out of it. LOL Pictures here...

Fabulous playing and superb track. Mk11 pups have to be one of the best kept secrets in the guitar world. Just changed the pots to CTS and put in a switchcraft toggle switch and jack -plug socket on my LC98S but those Mk11's are not going anywhere. Just send me your fingers and playing ability...

A new one made in Japan LC98S will be around the 1K mark but they will go on eBay at less than half the price second hand. Fabulous guitars and I have a white one that I stripped the paint of the front and back. Owned and played many great Gibsons and I would put this guitar up against any of...

Fabulous job JDB and a lovely top. That?s it all the paint has to go :o next string change. Now the wood on the back of yours looks very familiar :roll: We should form the paintless LC Club :wink: Oh and I should add there was no way I could get the bridge posts out, not even with two nuts...

There you go absolutely spot on, did Stradivarius paint or spray his violins with Poly or any other lacquer? Of course not. :lol: Did you do the whole lot as in neck and headstock as I am seriously considering going the whole hog. Wood is good. Now JDB just tell me that beautiful flame top...

Come on Brokentoes are you trying to tread on mine LOL. On a previous posts you said "I can say i had a acoustic with sapele sides and back that looked identical to the grain of the back of your guitar." Now you are saying? As to leaving it to the wood experts it is getting clearer by the...

You could well be right Gabe and that is why I have said I believe it is Sapele and not that it is. However the nearest I can find in appearance to the back of the guitar is quarter sawn Sapele. Also I really am not bothered either way as it looks and sounds fantastic. Keep on stripping LOL...

Thanks Lain from a resale point of view I would honestly think twice about doing this. However this guitar plays better than any single cut that I have owned and I have owned a few such as Gibson, Duesenberg, Hamer, PRS, etc and I had made my mind up that this Tokai was an absolute keeper. So...

Hi luis, I have owned many top end guitars and certainly regard the LC98S on a par with them in both playability and tone. One of the finest sounding guitars that I recently owned was a Musicman Reflex and that had a three piece Basswood body OK with a maple top. Once again demonstrating to me...

Thanks brokentoes yes agreed and as I stated I am more than happy with the Sapele back, looks great and sounds fine. I just wish that manufacturers would call things by their name and not claim they are using Mahogany when they are using Sapele. This LC98S honestly has blown the other LP's I...

On the basis of your earlier comment "a few of these older LPs, I have to say these guitars just flat out beat the LS150, more resonant , beefier bassier and I just hate to admit it all round more bad *** more tone ! " I think you answered your own question added to which it sounds like you...
