UP FOR AUCTION IS A RARE TOKAI VX SUPER-STRAT STYLE GUITAR.  THIS INSTRUMENT WAS MADE IN JAPAN AT THE ORIGINAL TOKAI FACTORY IN HAMAMATSU, JAPAN AND FEATURES THE LEGENDARY CRAFTSMANSHIP THAT MADE TOKAI FAMOUS (OR SHOULD I SAY INFAMOUS).

THE VX IS AN ORIGINAL TOKAI BODY SHAPE FROM THE MID 1980's.  IT WAS REISSUED BRIEFLY A FEW YEARS BACK AND ONLY A LIMITED NUMBER OF INSTRUMENTS WERE SOLD IN THE USA BEFORE THE DISTRIBUTOR DROPPED THE TOKAI LINE DUE TO ONGOING LEGAL PROBLEMS WITH ANOTHER GUITAR MANUFACTURER. 

THIS VX FEATURES THE FOLLOWING - 

- TRANS-RED FINISH

- TWO-PIECE SOLID MAHOGANY BODY

- CHROME GOTOH TUNERS AND VIBRATO BRIDGE

- PUSH/PULL VOLUME AND TONE CONTROLS (PULL FOR COIL TAP) AND 3-WAY P/U SELECTOR SWITCH

- KEIYO HUMBUCKING PICKUPS WITH COIL TAPS

- 4-BOLT CONTOURED NECK JOINT

- 22 JUMBO NICKEL FRETS ON ROSEWOOD FINGERBOARD

- FLATSAWN CANADIAN MAPLE NECK WITH SATIN FINISH AND FULLY ADJUSTABLE TRUSS ROD

THE INSTRUMENT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH EXTREMELY MINIMAL PLAY WEAR.  THE PROTECTIVE PLASTIC IS STILL ON THE BACKPLATES.  IT PLAYS GREAT AND SOUNDS KILLER.

THE ONLY FLAW IS A VERY TINY CRACK IN THE TOP OF THE GUITAR BETWEEN THE NECK CAVITY AND NECK PICKUP CAVITY.  THIS OCCURED IN SHIPPING - IT HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY REPAIRED AND IS BARELY NOTICEABLE AND HAS BEEN SEALED OVER WITH CLEAR COAT.  THE GUITAR COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL CARDBOARD CARTON - THERE IS NO CASE OF GIG BAG.

NOW'S YOUR CHANGE TO GET A REAL MIJ TOKAI GUITAR AT A GREAT PRICE.  BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS AND MIS-LABELED INSTRUMENTS - E-BAY IS RIFE WITH TOKAI COPIES MADE BY LESSER COMPANIES IN KOREAN AND CHINA.  THIS IS THE REAL DEAL AND THIS INSTRUMENT WOULD EASILY COST DOUBLE THE OPENING BID AT A MUSIC RETAILER.  PLEASE E-MAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS.

DISCLAIMER: ITEM IS SOLD AS-IS, NO RETURNS OR REFUNDS.  PAYMENT IS DUE WITHIN 24 HOURS OF AUCTION END OR ITEM WILL BE RE-LISTED AND NEGATIVE FEEDBACK LEFT.  PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFOREHAND TO ARRANGE ALTERNATE PAYMENT OPTIONS – OTHERWISE PLEASE DO NOT BID.  I WON’T WASTE YOUR TIME, PLEASE DON’T WASTE MINE….
