Hi Guys

Lovely Tokai LS85FV.....this is what I was told it was when I bought it but it may be a LS75FV....I really don't know.

The guitar has been used throughout it's life and has some minor dings, mainly around the bottom edge, but is otherwise in really good nick.

It's been upgraded with SD '59s in the bridge and neck which sound excellent, really nice pickups.

Tuners have been upgraded to Tonepros tuners which are superb and work REALLY well.

It has also had the pots upgraded with CTS pots.  The switch and jack socket are Switchcraft according to the previous owner but I haven't removed them to check.  Bridge and stop tail are Gotoh.

The frets have masses of life left in them and the fingerboard is dark and looks 'right'. The guitar is set up with 11s at the moment.  Plays beautifully.

Weighs in at 9.2lbs which is the same weight as my last CS Les Paul.....perfect weight.

I'd like £485 delivered (uninsured) in the UK by UPS on a next day.....if you want to insure it it would only cost 2% of the value. I might be interested in a 52 Reissue tele or similar and am happy to stick some money into a deal.  If you're in Cambridgeshire please feel free to come and try the guitar.  Any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

I have a strat and a 2x12 cab on the forum as well, if anyone is interested.
