Hi John,

An awesome thread.
I feel left out cos I don't have a flame top Tokai anymore - only the Gibson.

it is pictured next to an '82 LS-100S ( for credibility)

[Reborn Old]

Thanks Peter. Lovely burst ! I love the color.

With your permission, I'll post a pic of your former 1983 LS-200
sometime in December.

I personally think that LS-200 has one of the nicest tops Tokai ever produced, but it was still a very smart trade.
If you saved other pics of it, please feel free to post them.

[Peter Mac]

Hey mate,
No Wuckin' Forries.

I'll search through my trunk load of old photos and see what other Tokai flame top pics I have.

Peter

I'm going to leave what many would consider 5 stellar vintage LS-200 examples for last, and others will be posted from late 1979 through 1985.
