What do you guys think about this? It's a music shop over here selling. Really not much info on what model it could be. From the serial nr I'd assume it to be a -09?
The tuners has been changed (prolly more than once due to all the screwholes), It got straplocks, and the bridge has been replaced "to a new one that's better" (no more info of that, or why it would be "better"). No info on the pups either, whether they're original or not.
They left a phone number for further questions, which I of course will try. Just want some input from you guys with more knowledge first. They want ~ 675 Euro.
I'm not really into the dimple headstock, and can't fathom why anyone would choose black tuners etc, but that's of course only aesthetic nitpicks (and tuners can be changed).
But I've been getting used to overprised MIJ LPs over here, without sellers even knowing what bloody model their selling ("Lawsuit era, beats every Gibson/Fender etc bla bla.."), so the price seemed kinda reasonable if it's a good Tokai LP. Esp. since its from a music shop from my own country for once..
But like with all MIJ guitars you need to know if it's a higher or lower model. I've learned reasonably enough to spot a good deal on Tokai strats (which eventually got me a nice TST80 for a great price), but LPs are a different jungle to me. Hence me asking for some imput here.
