Yes my brother is in Chicago and will be visiting me in a few weeks.

Hi, I’m interested. Should I DM you?

Beautiful!

Thanks! I didn’t have any experience woodworking or any building myself. But this YouTube video made it all possible -

Here’s mine - FV(D) 80. More pics and details in my article - Tokai FV 80 Flame Maple Top | SiaVintageGuitars

Here’s mine. I couldn’t pin down the model number exactly. First I thought it was a 55 like in the 1983 catalog, but eventually concluded it is a 120 considering the gold hardware and pickup covers that looked closer to the 120 in the 1984 catalog (though the binding is not abalone on mine). I’m...

Thanks so much!

Thanks for confirmed that this picture was from a mid-1983 catalog, don’t know how I missed that. I thought it was a 1984 catalog

Thanks let me try with acetone

Finally, it has arrived! After months of patient waiting :) AC/DC has now made it on my practice song list! Full article and pics here - Tokai SG 60 | SiaVintageGuitars As always, please feel free to correct me if I am wrong on any of the history or other facts. Thanks!

Very helpful, thanks so much!

EXD 120, Nice! That would be very similar to my FSD 120 which I covered in this article (link). After looking carefully at all the catalogs I found one table that shows the differences between pickups offered but no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t get the resolution of the image higher and...

lol, I agree. It’s the same for the star shaped FVD that I have. That one even came with a locking nut - everything screamed “shredder”. But again, 7.15 radius. The only one so far I have that deviates from the the 7.25 radius is the TSG. I’ll be writing an article on it soon :)

I just published an article on my latest addition to the collection - an FV 80. You can read about it's history here and check out more pics if you are interested. Please feel free to correct me on any details I might have got wrong :) Link - Tokai FV 80 Flame Maple Top | SiaVintageGuitars

I just got my hands on a TSG 60 from the early 1980s, which I will review in detail and post an article on soon. It has a 17 degree headstock angle like the original SG from the early 1960s. But I am curious - is the TSG headstock scarfjointed? Were the Love Rocks scarfjointed?

Update… the guitar has finally arrived! Will do pics and put up an article as usual in my website but in a few weeks. In the meantime, to answer some questions asked earlier in this thread: 1. Yes, push/pull function for coil tapping 2. “7okai” logo is a stricter that has some glitterish vibe to...

Hi, I am looking for a tremelo arm for my FVD 80 from the earl 1980s. I was wondering, do these arms match the dimensions of Fender arms? Or are they different?

Dropped you a DM, thanks

Unfortunately the duties are crazy for import to India. But the next time I visit the US I’ll try to bring a kit back. Thanks for the reco
