Also, if any guitar collectors see anything resembling these guitars during their perusings (Austin-San Antonio) a heads up would be greatly appreciated.

Not so much a matter of waiting with bated breath to retrieve guitars, but to stop it from happening again.

1) Gibson Tobacco Burst Les Paul electric guitar (serial # 131400613)
 
2) Fender P-Bass (serial # 8144547- the "5" might be an "S") 
 
3) Ibanez 6-string acoustic guitar (serial # C03070733)
 
4) Yamaha 12-string acoustic guitar 
 
5) Tokai 335 Satin Walnut Semi-Hollow electric guitar
 
6) Tokai Explorer with Split V headstock electric guitar, Korina gold hardware 
 
7)Tokai Heritage Cherry SG electric guitar

Fuck a thief.  Foggy is the resident CL sleuth.  I'm so sorry for this.  Shitty.

Cool strap. I was checking out their website after I ordered a strap that bought my eye in an ad from Chicago Music. Tag says it is one of theirs, will definitely be getting more. Still trying to find the right strap for some of my guitars but this one exists for the tele

 

Not as colorful as the Souldier or Couch straps, but Dogtired makes a comfortable and really durable strap. Apparently they make them out of the same material they use for karate belts.

Al Bundy, that royally sucks.  I'll put the word out to my little circle here in Austin.

There’s a special place in hell for guitar thieves.

I’ll keep my eyes out on CL and eBay. Did not know you were a Tokai guy, Al Bundy! 

Sorry for the loss😕.  I hope you can get them back.

Man, that sucks les balls.  Those Tokai's are great sleepers.  I remember playing a Springy Sound waaaay back in the mid-80s and they blew the first Fender RIs away.  They nailed the 50s Strat look/feel/sound.  There's a guy at the guitar show every year who has a whole booth set up with Tokais.  It's his thing.

Most of those guitars came to me via a longtime friend who's really into guitar collecting. The SG was sweet.

According to him, the rarest one taken was the Tokai Explorer with the split V headstock. I know next to jack, relatively, but he claims there might be 2 of these in Texas.

Somewhere in this thread are pics I posted of the Tokai guy from the Dallas Guitar Show a couple years back.  I think he's from Dallas, but I'd bet along with the pics of Tokais, there's a pic of his sign.  You may be able to reach out to him and put him on alert.  The Tokai fan group in Texas can't be that big, and maybe you can use that to your advantage to get these back if they pop up on the market.  I'd put alerts on Reverb, G-Base and eBay to see if any come up there as well.

Come to think of it, it may be on TOS.

Thx for the info. 

Keeping my eyes open on CL and FB marketplace.

That sucks.

Dammit...I missed Single Pickup Sunday.  Will get it when it rolls around again.  

 

I like the 1st 2, for the colors and the maple finger boards.

This right here. Unless you want a Strat specifically with a V profile neck, then go with the blonde.

And please don’t pay $500 for a reliced Affinity Strat. You can make that guitar yourself for $150-200 including the Duncan JB in the bridge.

Ok so I’ll bargain on the surf green but who’s gonna build me the cobain? 

I entered in the the monthly Sweetwater giveaway like I always do since winning a guitar and amp. 

Got an email today wanting to verify my contact info. 

It's the same as it was when I ordered from them last month. 

It's happening!

A friend let me borrow this early 70s walnut ES-345. Eager to put it through its paces but I have the sleepy from staying out late and seeing 40 Acre Mule at Sundown at Granada. My first post covid show and it was great. Y’all should check them out.

It is quite heavy.

Also took the possession of the new to me R8 and dropped it off at the luthier to get a set up. Whoever had it last has the screws for the stop tailpiece jacked waaay up. I also asked about the over the tailpiece (rather than through). He didn’t recommend because it puts an additional stress point on the strings unnecessarily. We shall see. Pics when I get it back.

I won a Charvel guitar and a Hughes and Kettner Tubemeister amp. I ended up trading both away for another guitar and amp and cash. 

Here's the Charvel:

That's literally me...5 new guitars in 5 months, and I told myself I'd stop a couple of times.  In my defense, I sold 3 guitars in the past year, so it's only a net of 2.

Not yet, but I may at some point, Mr. Fuck.  One of them just went to my luthier today to swap the nut, pots, pickups, and put into Drop B.  The 5 new ones are 2 Fender FSR MIM HH Mahogany Strats, 1 Fender MIM HSS Strat, 1 PRS SE Custom 24, and 1 Yamaha acoustic-electric.

You talking about all that up in here and how you might post pics?  That's some balls, my friend.  Welcome to the club.

What I got in return. My VHT has the tooled Tolex, which was a special edition. The pic isn't mine.

Boner fuel

That Strat has something special going on. One of my buddies, who is a major cork sniffer when it comes to gear, always plays it when he's around. Slinky in all the right ways. 

Really needing a new name for my acoustic duo. The Cork Sniffers might be it.

Good price ($519) on the LE Player Strat/Tele in Lake Placid Blue right now.  Adorama seems to run this sale once every few months.

Welp, I wasn't necessarily planning to buy a guitar today, but I just did. That's, by far, the best price on a player tele I've seen in weeks of browsing and I love that color.
