|
|
Hello there guys, Tokai lover here, ex-owner of a lovely Tokai Les Paul Special replica!
I want a J 200 so badly (new or mint) but it's next to impossible to locate one, especially in Europe! Could anybody point to the right direction maybe?
Any info will be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Vindaloo |

Thanks, really appreciate that.
I've been keeping an eye out for them for several years now but they're so hard to come by. I don't hold much hope but anyway, the show must go on.  |

They pop up in the local classifieds around where i live (Canada) once in awhile. I was able to buy a lightly used one for $250 with gigbag not that long ago, they are few and far between unfortunately and some people want IMO way too much. Keep your eyes open, one will turn up, i waited prolly 4-5 years to find mine tho. Good Luck. |

I will, I will. Thanks.

Are the newer, more "pale" ones that go by this name? I'm interested, but even these seem near extinction.
Sorry for not replying earlier, its been a busy weekend.  |

Those "pale" J299s, besides sporting the unusual combination of solid back and sides with laminated top (?!), would be a lot more expensive if they were MIJ I think. At the price range of the few examples by Orville I've stumbled upon in the net or close.
Patience Vindaloo, patience. Don't give up hope.  |
