***SOLD****: Tokai Talbo Blazing Fire
What's Hot
£550 ***SOLD****:
Collection preferred from Burntisland, Fife. I can potentially post, message me if interested. NO TRADES, thanks. Bought this a few years ago from James Oliver who was selling this on behalf of his mate, Cardiff based luthier Dave Dearnaley. It was gigged for many years and featured on a few albums, but I'm afraid I've forgotten the names that James gave me.
Its a very cool guitar, but I have too many cool guitars. I believe this particular one is from 1983.
I'm absolutely not an expert on the Talbo, but they were a run of alumium bodied guitars that appeared in the early 80s.
This one has/is...
- a fair amount of cosmetic wear, see pics ...definitely been through the wars!
- a replacement bridge (the stock one led to the e string being too easy to pull off the neck). ICBM did this work for me.
- EMG noiseless pickups
- Volume, tone, three-way switch
- I suspect the electrics are completely non-original
- stainless steel frets
- Potentially a missing trem arm. I never use it.I'll have a look

Would consider trades for a Telecaster Deluxe, can potentially add cash your way
