{"product_id":"871061","title":"TOKAI VINTAGE TSG-70S '85 Black","description":"Since its founding in 1947, Tokai has manufactured a wide range of musical instruments, including pianos, guitars, and banjos. Its flagship models include the highly acclaimed LP-style LS series and the metal-bodied TALBO series, making it a beloved, long-established manufacturer among many players, both professional and amateur, both domestically and internationally.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This latest arrival appears to be a 1985 TSG model, specifically a custom \"TSG-70\" model not found in the catalog.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 【body】\u003cbr\u003e The guitar weighs approximately 3.4kg. The body is made of mahogany and finished in all black. As you can see, it is equipped with a large SHIFT tremolo unit. The SG type originally had two lineups, the TSG-50 and TSG-60, and the model equipped with the SHIFT 2001 tremolo unit was not listed in the catalog, but judging from the sticker on the back of the headstock and the pickup rings, it seems to have been produced as a factory custom model not listed in the catalog. Overall, there are some scratches, dents, and tarnishing on the metal parts, but considering its age, it can be said to be in relatively good condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 【neck】\u003cbr\u003e The neck is made of mahogany with a rosewood fingerboard. Considering the block inlays up to the first fret and the tuner specifications, the base bass appears to be a TSG-50. There is a slightly large dent near the third fret on the back of the neck, and small scratches and dents are scattered throughout, but there is no major damage. The frets and nut show some wear, but there is no extreme buzzing or dead spots at present. Due to the structure of the tremolo unit, the string height is on the higher side. The nut width is approximately 43.5mm. The neck shape is characterized by a noticeable increase in thickness towards the end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e [Electrical System]\u003cbr\u003e The controls are a standard configuration: 2 volume, 2 tone, and a 3-way pickup selector switch. It's equipped with two Tokai '57 PAF pickups, which appear to be Mark III models based on their resistance values. It features a high-power, clear sound, and its excellent drive response makes it a versatile guitar that can be used in a variety of situations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Accessories: Soft case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 3.4kg\u003cbr\u003e Cover Material: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e Neck Material: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e Fingerboard: Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e Nut Width: 43.5mm\u003cbr\u003e Fret Width: 2.7mm\u003cbr\u003e Neck Thickness (1F\/7F\/12F): 21.6mm\/23.0mm\/23.9mm\u003cbr\u003e Pickup (Neck\/Bridge): Tokai '57 PAF (18.6kΩ\/18.6kΩ)\u003cbr\u003e *The DC resistance value of the pickup is measured through the control section.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Heartman Vintage Guitars is a specialty store for vintage guitars and basses operated by Ikebe Musical Instruments.","brand":"TOKAI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67879621853297,"sku":"871061","price":960.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/871061_01.jpg?v=1793155270","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/fr\/products\/871061","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
