where are you located? I have a blond es-100j that i might sell but i'm located in europe. I had 3, a sunburst, red and blond. This one is the last to go..I hardly play electric anymore..

Cool Thread! Here's mine. Old photos, need to take new ones. Probably my easiest playing guitar, despite the oh so comon neck break (and not very beautiful but stable neck repair) on these. https://www.flickr.com/photos/124367246@N02/albums/72157672445835502/with/14820478773/

very nice!! i was bidding on that one too. I used to own one in sunburst but sold it a few years ago. http://www.tokaiforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=174907&sid=3641abd18ec6ebe70866a429ec4ec502

Have to sell some guitars sadly enough to make some room (children...) :( Anyway, one of the nicest es100's I have ever seen, definitely the nicest one I have owned. Cherry Red. Plays as good as it looks. https://www.flickr.com/photos/124367246@N02/albums/72157656826915175 I will make some...

Just tokai copying Gibson. Google gibson artisan. "The Les Paul Artisan was a more expensive/elaborate variation of the Les Paul Custom and was advertised as a limited-edition model between 1976 and 1982"

Just wanted to share this one, picked it up a few months ago.. All rosewood fender japan, not one of the recent laminates. Will probably sell it in the long run as I hardly play any solid bodies these days, but I do enjoy picking this one up now and then so she can stay for a while. :) fender...

Lc100 has an ebony board, ls100 rosewood.. i doubt anyone can hear the difference between the two, but i also think thats the same for a maple vs mahogany cap..

Yeah i know, but it’s weird the ebony on this one is completely different from the one on my lc-100 and on the es-150’s.. i always thought ebony was denser.. the grain on this one looks more like regular rosewood.. I’m no expert.. just saying it’s different on mine and that it’s weird they used...

This guitar has been posted before on this site.. http://www.tokaiforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=9750&sid=1246da3359fd1ae92f4c52cdcd1b3fac Fretboard doesnt look like ebony.. the grain on mine is smaller..

81 tokai lc 110. I would have expected different tuners, but there arent many 110’s out there so not sure. The lc100’s had wafflebacks..(but also diamond inlay so who knows..) Tailpiece also looks exchanged for a newer one.. I would buy that! Let me know if you don’t :wink:

did he recently buy it? might be my old one.. big neck, sunburst.

build by tokai, painted by greco?

I had 3, still have 2 and they all differ in neck thickness.. the sunburst one had a really thick neck, similiar to my gibson es-175 vos. The natural one and cherry have a thinner neck. lovely es-150! The binding on those is always more yellow then on the es-100's. Definitely different lacquer...

Not sure how inferior they are compared to 4 screw tuners, but the 4 screw ones were used on the more expensive basses, 60 and up. So when buying a tokai bass people look for the 4 screw ones.. atleast that's what i do.

Mine is a lot of things but definitely not light :lol:
