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)

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. |

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.

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.
