Tokai Talbo Vintage Japanese Guitar 1985

Description: A rare Japanese classic in very good condition. Some scratches, paint ware and minor dings but looks, plays and sounds amazing. I am the original owner. I have a vague recollection of some minor work being done on the nut and/or tune lock area but cannot confirm. Otherwise, all original parts, including the whammy bar. Modell AX80D Serial Number 5000022 From Vintage Guitar Magazine online:"Made of cast aluminum alloy AC-4B, which is commonly used in racing car engines, the Talbo’s design is simple and elegant, combining new and traditional elements. Basically, it’s like two superimposed teardrops with the tips pointing right and left to yield a bi-level, sculptured double cutaway... Tokai Talbos were promoted briefly in American and European markets for perhaps a couple years, but after 1984 seemed to disappear from the radar."
