There'll be a reason that there's not many around for sale ...
Great guitars.
As a Tokai aficionado I would normally be interested, however, the prices of MIJ Tokai's are to close to the Gibson faded.
I'll end up getting bored of it within the year and then pass it on. In contrast to Gibson's,Tokai LP juniors are not the easiest to move on.
I'd never part with my faded LP DC special. Amazing guitar
I was looking at that, although that's a Special rather than the Junior faded (Finest rather then Value).
£599 is too much to justify a whim. I had the faded SG which I felt offered better value than the faded junior at the same price (£449 in what was then Soundcontrol back in 2006/7 ish).
I've seen the faded DCs go for sub £400 many times, but I didn't want one then !, now every man and his dog wants one.
Oh I agree, that's why I likened them to 'finest vs value' . Fretboard binding, one or two piece bodies of the special over a plain neck and multipiece body of the faded. However, the faded is more than enough for me, just as the faded SG satisfied my need for an SG over the SG Standard model.
Someone did comment on the custom shop (VOS ?) LP junior being a lot of money for not a lot of wood. The faded provides the right price point to dabble with a LPJ.
Yeah. I don't use ebay, but to be honest my whim has whimed out . I'll wait until they're out of fashion and pay a reasonable price. £520 (regardless of it being market price) IMHO is way too high for a budget Gibson that for many years you couldn't even give away. Not to mention its been played around with. I only buy original spec untouched factory guitars.
Add a few quid to £520 and your choice of guitar is expanded ten fold.
