The guitar looks over priced to me, but it has a Tokai case, & I thought Billy might want a look? :p

A quid? As that slang for a pound? :roll:

Yes.

I love the way some people put "from my private collection" on their Ebay auctions. Wonderful middle-class pomposity worthy of Hyacinth Bucket!

What they mean, of course, is "it's been under the bed for two years and SWMBO wants it shifted". :D

Presumably the seller has a private collection and a public collection? :lol:

Or maybe it's a new model from his winter collection? :roll:
 
Looking at the headstock I'd say that it's a korean Goldstar or possibly a fake as togps says. The japanese headstock has a slightly different shape. It's definitely not japanese.

To be fair to the seller, he doesn't claim it's Japanese, or even that it's old . He just implies it with his chat about "private collection".

Do the newer Goldstars have those Gotoh tuners? And surely anyone faking a Tokai would fake an old Springy or an early Goldstar, wouldn't they?
 


Above the headstock of the auction

  • 1. the headstock shape is wrong
    2 the tuners are wrong
    3. the string trees are wrong
    4. the decal are wrong
Below the correct Tokai Made in Korea AST-33 headstock


 
I wouldn't have spotted that. :( Just when I think I'm learning about these **** Tokais, something comes along to prove that I haven't. :-?

Geat job, Gottfried.

Another fake....

But you don't care if the guitar is a fake? :lol:

There are plenty of other guitars in the sea :lol: But a case is like a good women. It needs banging on a regular basis and the handles oiled.


Then placed under the bed until you want to have another look inside :eek:
 
Could somebody please post a pic of a case?

I think Gottfried has not seen one in ages..... :D :D :D
