I meant to post this before our show. But my phone’s been missing wifi at home leading to unexpectedly depleted data. Fine times out of the winter funk in the warm interior of the Striped Horse on Surfers’ Corner. With @macawbandsa, @jason66c , and @joydemillar, Melissa, and a wonderful host of characters.
The workhorse. I’ve gigged this guitar more than any other. And it’s my all-time favourite. A Tokai LS150 made in 2010. I finally restrung it and cleaned it up after shamefully having done neither for more than a year. It’s got plenty more work ahead of it this year.
The couch is getting crowded with different kinds of stuff to practise. I’m tempted to bring down a fourth for some rockabilly stuff I’m working on too.
I’m old enough to remember when ‘Made in Japan’ was code for cheap and shoddy goods. Even then it was out of date. I own American originals and this guitar smokes ‘em.
Haha. No ways. Tokai Silver Star in Vi Är Bäst! (We Are The Best) - a great little punk rock film from 2013.
Yes. The perfect sunburst Les Paul does exist. And it’s made by Tokai Japan.
