There's another one up on Reverb right now: Tokai ES- Custom 2008 - Natural | Reverb I saw someone made an offer earlier and it sold, but it's been relisted as of a few moments ago.

Been itching to share this one, but didn't want to revive this 15 year old thread haha. Thanks for breaking the ice, tim! I was visiting my family a few towns over, and just for the heck of it I looked on Craigslist to see if there was anything cool nearby. There was a three hour old post, a...

Hi all, Here's my 1978 LS50, serial 8000225. Needed a bit of work when I got it last year, but it's really a great axe. Frets were trashed. Horizontal gouging from the string windings, deep divots all over, and someone used a tighter radius sanding beam to level them. I pulled them and...
