Switch tip gone and pickup "not working"
Didn't get to play or even hold it, but looks very tidy and a good price.

Chinese I assume?

Sarge

Probably, I only saw the front from the window, in the piss rain, still worth it, even for a Chinese Tokai.
I played one for a few weeks a couple years back and was very impressed.

minimoog

Agreed it seems worth checking out.

Good deal there

Sarge

Remember you're almost guaranteed £15 off if you don't get the bitch-from-hell manageress(blonde with the Elswick facelift) get the attention of the wee older guy, he's a goodun.

Lewligan

Yep, great deal, especially if you can get them under 100 quid.

minimoog

Gone this morning  :x

Looks like an LC53. Bargain.

minimoog

Looks like a lot of gold has worn off the stop tail. I'm hoping this means it was a lower quality Chinese one, and not an old playworn MIJ! Would have had it if I'd been at work (just down the road) yesterday.

Edit: Just noticed the label says made in Korea. FFS!

Sarge

You snooze you looze!

No I didn't get it.

Sarge

I'm no expert, so being Korean (I missed that on the label) is/was this an LC53 and worth £300 +?

minimoog

Dunno about the LC53 bit but I'm reasonably sure that fixed up it could get £300.

Sarge

Well looks like someone got a bargain, sorry you missed out @minimoog

Deadman

It is an LC53. I've seen new ones going for around the 280 quid mark. Given that this looks like it's been around the block and has a "faulty pickup", I'd say its about right money. If its just a bit of soldering you could maybe bump it to 180, maybe 200 after repair. All depends on what nick its in though. It's gone now anyway
