I decided to make a NGD post for her after all!
The reason is that I got her back today after a professional setup... and WOW!
The luthier (1st time I deal with him) did very nice job! polished the frets, lowered the nut action (that was something I failed in!), cleaned the jack lowered the action cleared the pegs (which are not in great condition).
After all that... its another guitar... I am more excited than I first received it!
What was really nice surprise was that he told me 4-5 times that I have a magnificent guitar!!! (he builts some guitars himself)
I am thinking about changing the pickups but I have no great experience with PAF style so I am hesitant since I like them enough + If i do change them they have to be double creams !
I am really curious now what a more high end 80's Tokai would feel like... to be honest I have not seen an LS 80 that I like the top and finish more than mine...(In reality the colour / finish is far prettier that in seems in the photos!!)
And the LS150 / LS 200 are far out of my budget atm!
So here it is...
I have posted some photos in various threads but I hope no one will complain!
