2013 Tokai Japan Talbo A-125SH Aluminium Body Guitar w/Raygun Mod (Black)
Tokai Talbo (short for Tokai Aluminium Body) guitars were introduced in 1980 and feature a cast aluminium body with a chamber underneath the pickguard. These were known for having a crystal clear clean tone that resonates beautifully both acoustically and plugged-in. Rosewood board and a maple neck, loaded with a 5-way selector and HSS pickups, this one weighs 4.1kg's.
What makes this one special is that it's loaded with the factory Ray Gun mod, a button that activates one of nine laser sounds that can be heard both through the output jack and through a small onboard speaker. Check out the Steve Stevens clips online to see the concept in action, it's truly something crazy but is so much fun!
If you're Australian of that generation you'll likely recognise these from their use with INXS. Nile Rodgers is rumoured to have put Tim Farriss onto Tokai’s Talbo Blazing Fire. Tim went on to use the Talbo for decades.
Great condition as pictured with light cosmetic wear. Frets are in great condition, truss works well and the neck is straight.
