Tokai KLS-260 BRZ S V/F

[VMS]

Been thinking of pulling the trigger on one of these,has anyone had any experience of one or has tge exact specifications.
Thanks vincent

If it is a KLS it is a Kurosawa store order.

Hard to say what the specs are. Special orders are unique.

BRZ would seem to indicate a Brazilian rosewood fretboard which may create issues with shipping it?

Was wondering what the pick ups and electrics could be

 

[Sigmania]

Not sure. You may want to contact Kurosawa. They may have spec'd something other than MK2-S

Looks like they had it on Reverb at a higher price before moving to eBay.

Looks like Cliff had one if not the same one. He gives the readings on the pickups.

This listing in Japan says MH2 pickups, but that may be an error. Not sure.

Tokai KLS260 BRZ S/VF Brazilian Fingerboard(BZF) 2017 中古｜ギター買取の東京新宿ハイブリッドギターズ

This item has been sold. This is a 2017 Tokai KLS260 BRZ S/VF with a fingerboard made of Brazilian Rosewood, a rare material that is hard to find at Gibson Custom Shop.

This instrument uses Maple for the top of the body, Mahogany for the body back and neck, and a 12-inch radius Rosewood fingerboard. The pickup is equipped with a vintage MH-2 Set. The Brazilian Fingerboard, lacquer coating, and this pickup combine to produce a crisp, clear sound.

This instrument has only a few scratch marks, and there is almost no wear on the frets, giving it a clean impression. The neck is in good condition and there is plenty of room for both forward and reverse warping of the truss rod. There is almost no wear on the nuts and frets, and the electrical system is in good condition.

Body: Maple / Mahogany
Neck: Brazilian Rosewood / Mahogany
Fingerboard Radius: 12inch
Fret: 22F
Pickups: MH-2 Set
Control: 2-Volume、2-Tone、3-Way PU Selector
Date: 2017
Weight: 3.9kg

Accessories: Genuine gig bag, certificate, etc. See photos

Cliff's pics do seem to show pickups labeled MH2 ?

These may have been wound for Kurosawa?

Struck a deal but on further inspection there seems to be a unusual amount of filler around the inlays not becoming with the tokai quality,bit of a red flag

Similar to the way they did the LS320?

Please help me identify the LOVEROCK model

I don’t know. Is it like those where the corners are cut weird?

Still have no idea why they were routed like that. I’ve seen at least one Korean one cut like that. Makes me wonder if they. Contracted to have someone else cut the fretboards or ordered them. Is the wood fancy like Braz or something?

Brazilian rosewood board,but that filler is very off-putting for a premium guitar

You are not the first person to make that comment.

I really have to wonder if they ordered these from someone else and got a bunch and used them up.

Would be interesting to look at the dates these occur. Seems lke it went on for a long time. may still be happening? Odd.

Just noticed similar on my 2022 LC136S SW which I never noticed before but filler looks smaller in comparison

I started a thread on this to try to unpack what is going on.

I will add your LC to the list. I hadn't noticed that before either.
