This has recently come into my small collection and despite all the great information held here ,I still fail to know what era this is from '70'80'90's .best i can tell is a 58 standard replica of a ls 100 or ls 50?????After some more research the approx purchase year was 1979 from Japan. It plays like a dream and i know that i have been very fortunate to come across such a guitar which has come to me from the musical side of the family -I don't think i got the Gene but i still try!!-. I do NOT want to sell it unless i knew that it was going to a home worthy of its sound.
As the sound it sings is out of this world compared to the guitars i have and play. I would really love to know and if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

I'm sure this will be good food for thought for you all

I have learnt allot from this site and to you all that have donated there knowledge here,
Many thanks and kind regards to you all. Frank Bates[/img]

I think not, sadly. Does your family have connections with Canada?

More like China... it's a sad world indeed that would permit a product like that to be built. :cry:
 
So who out there would like to see it burnt on Utube . I refuse to promote a copy of a copy as it seems to be so let it BURN BABY.
So who wants to see it Burn is my next question.
 
It does play like a dream ,Ive had a friend round that can play brillantely and it was out of this world
This does leave me really confused...........
so 1 vote no then cheers bud.

If everyone had that attitude, there wouldn't be any 'real' Tokais either :wink: As mike says, if it's a good guitar, just enjoy it!

Use it as a beater or modifications/DIY guinea pig?
It 'aint your fault - no harm in getting some use out it. Put a sticker over the logo if it bothers you, and hammer that *****!
