For sale is a really cool axe--a Tokai 'Zemaitis' Talbo aluminum bodied guitar. Featuring high end components including DiMarzio pickups, Schaller tuners, and an ebony fretboard, this guitar plays very nice and sounds great too. While I think it's a great overall player, these apparently really shine for slide guitar as well as for lead work (I can testify in the affirmative on the lead work). Please see the product description below for this very, very rare bird. Only one I can find online at present is selling for $3,300 Australian dollars, or about $2,400 USD. Mine's going for $1,000 less. Guitar ships to the continental US only, and for free. Payment within 3 days please by PayPal. No returns, so please ask any questions prior to purchase. Also, please note that I am not a professional music store, just a guy who loves gear (GEEEARR!), and as such, shipping may take up to 3 business days (but time is usually shorter). Thanks! Description
Under an exclusive deal between Tokai and the Zemaitis family in the UK, each of these stunning Zemaitis models is built entirely by hand, at a secluded facility in Japan. (These are not the earlier models made by Greco) Based on Tokai's own original Talbo model, the guitar has been given the unmistakeable Zemaitis treatment, resulting in one of the most striking guitars available anywhere in the world, from the semi-polished, lacquered aluminium body, to the authentic Zemaitis metal plate headstock logos. Surprisingly lightThe Talbo's tulip-shaped body is hollow cast aluminium, entirely filled with high-density acoustic foam to prevent unwanted soundwave coloration. Surprisingly light weight, at just 8.5lb/3.9kg the Talbo is only slightly heavier than the average Strat. Ebony board / DiMarzio pickupsThe hard-rock Maple neck features a highly playable, soft U-shape profile, and is topped by a 22-fret Ebony board with pearl dot, diamond and square inlays! The pickups are by DiMarzio; two FS-1 single-coils, and a DP103 PAF humbucker – this is an absolutely killer combination! Hardware & ControlsThe bridge & tremolo system is by Trevor Wilkinson, tuners are Schallers, and the controls are a volume, tone and 5-way pickup selector switch. Unbelievably unique toneOf course. with the amazing build quality and all top-flight appointments, the guitar can't help but sound absolutely fabulous, but a total surprise to us was the unbelievably unique tone it generated when we just happened to play a little slide on it. Completely casual, no slide adjustment at all, and it comprehensively blew us away - you've never heard slide tone like it, ever before!
