LS-320 2005

[Mc Tanza]

untouched solder joints, seth lovers, one piece back, solid maple cap, braz board, nitro finish, and 2005 320's did not have fret edge binding..

I think luis has another 2005 LS-320 without edge binding too...

this one..

can't be anything else..

It( no longer mine and sold really cheaper than Mark price)came with a certificate from Tokai I give to new owner.
I guess 2005 was a key year in new Tokais,new models came and some specs changed slightly(no fret edge binding confirmed to me by Adachi-san himself).

Hi there. I've missed this thread so far. That 320 is now mine. I even started a thread myself when I got it, asking about the fret end binding issue. Here it is:

Your 320 is very appealing Villager, what a shame I don't have some extra 2000 euro to spare right now. Guess what... I don't have enough with just one 320 :lol: . Good luck!

that's only $2350 USD @ current conversion rate; someone should be jumping on that ..........

If it had fret-binding I would?ve bought it already.Yeah... I know... I?m that shallow and nitpicky :lol: . For me to buy an expensive guitar, it has to be perfect to my tastes. Sonically and visually.

SOLD..

that's a sweet deal on a high spec & rare Les Paul; someone is gonna be very happy


glad I still have my 2000 Tokai LS320; yes, it has knobs :lol: .................... and fret edge binding :wink: ..........

I'm guessing that it won't necessarily be my wife..

hide it..

My dog would give me away, I'm afraid.
I'll just take my lumps. This one's way too nice to hide away..

Six days from Europe to central Iowa. And, that included a weekend. Must have hit all the stops cleanly.

btw: My wife thinks this is a very lovely guitar. Me, too.

well, she's from Mark!

Anyway, I learned a lot from this thread.
Cheers! Rup

Not bad delivery time; I've had guitars from Japan ship in less than 72 hours, from post to my door

OK, you have the fiddle; now we need details & pics 8) .................

Maybe this weekend, if the rain stops and I get the swamp drained and the grass mowed. The SD's sound surprisingly nice, I wasn't really expecting to like them. But, I have a pair of Legends that Wolfe wound for me, and I really want to try them in this guitar.

btw: The caps are Sprague "black beauty" 0.033 x 200 vt. Wasn't expecting that. Would love to leave them in when I swap p/ups, but the values are wrong.
