Hi there.
I was searching for a tokai les paul when I saw a beautifull FABER in an e-bay add:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131589981886?_trksid=p2055359.m1431.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Its a Faber Relic Series LSC-HBR, Tokai Pup's.
I've never heard of Faber. Are these good guitars? What price should a guitar like this seel for?
Thanks! |

Is it comparable in terms of quality. The description sounds like a good guitar |

I believe they're build in the same factory as where the Korean Tokais were made. |

It's hard to tell from the pictures. The pickup rings look MIK, but the bridge looks MIJ. |

I own(ed) and played lots of Faber - from cheap to more expensive range. Great guitars at very affordable price. I played one similar on Musikmesse this year and I want to buy it because it was really a fantasti piece - but unfortunatelly sold  _________________ http://www.highendguitars.eu |

Yep, looks like the typical sycamore veneer to me too. Nothing wrong with that of course. |
