Hi people!
When I got married last year here in Japan, I kind of inherited 2 of my wifes old guitars. One is an Orville LP copy in superb condition, and the other is a Tokai Love Rock.
The Tokai needs a little TLC. I don't know the model number, but it's wine red and the serial number begins 101xxxx.
It's not in bad condition really, just the usual belt scrapes on the back and a few little dings in other places. The hardware seems to have corroded a little bit, but I haven't tried cleaning it yet. It needs a new knob and the pickup switch surround is pretty faded.
I'm really asking your advice as to whether I should go round replacing everything with new shiny parts, or do people prefer these things to look a little bit old. We're pretty short of cash right now and may have to sell it!
Thanks in advance!
