Hi,

I m new to this forum, in facts, new to tokai guitars too.

Am looking in the marketplace and found this 2014 goldtop( 1433095).

What would be the reasonable price range and how does this guitar looks? Authentic?

Not sure if the link works.

Looks right. Replaced TRC.

Hi Sigmania,

Thanks for the informations. That blog, the goldtop,the serial number seems quite near to the one i shared in the link.

Thanks.

Yep. I thought that was serendipitous.

Price seems decent, and I don't see any red flags for authenticity.

It's obviously had a few mods so I'd want more information on those - the TRC is not a big deal, in fact lots of people prefer it, but if he didn't mention that then what else hasn't been mentioned? And I'd definitely want to know more about the re-fret, what size wire was used and who did it. Nothing there seems bad, it's just stuff I'd want to be aware of.
