NGD Retirement/Contract Worker Edition

New made in Japan Tokai LS136
I'm quite impressed with the quality, craftsmanship, sound, and playability of this!
The MK2S pickups are superb.
Fretwork is smooth and amazing too.

Happy New Love Rock Day!

I was looking at a few Tokais while I was in London last week. It's amazing how cheap they are in the UK and Europe, but how hard to find and expensive they are here.

Total including shipping was right at $1200. Had it not been that I ordered it the day before a Japanese holiday and it being stuck in customs in Indiana for 5 days, it would have been in my hands in about 3-4 days

Just looked at the Rose-Morris website, and that is a good deal you got. That seems to be one of the higher end models. Most were running in the 600 quid range, but the ULS-136 models were up around 1700.00 pounds.

There are still plenty new LS136's on Reverb. LS129's too if you want a plain top or gold top. Same guitar just no flame veneer.

Congrats!! Is a retirement congrats also in order?

I suppose. Retired on 3/31/22 after almost 42 years with the same company. Went back to work on 4/7/22 as a contractor doing the same job, same shift, but...now I'm drawing a pension on top of my hourly rate.
Had a great 6 day retirement though, lol.

Funny! Congrats on your commitment to the profession, and double income of course!
