Tokai TALBO Blazing Fire - Cast Aluminum Body - Silver - SSH - Made in Japan - w/Vintage Hard Case (26A059)

🎬 Video walkthrough available — see the last slide of the photo gallery.

Tokai TALBO Blazing Fire — TALBO stands for "Tokai ALuminum BOdy". Announced in 1982, its body is cast aluminum alloy instead of wood, giving a sharp, bright, singing tone. Made famous again by HISASHI of GLAY in the '90s. This one is silver with an SSH layout (two single coils + bridge humbucker). The headstock decal ("THE NEW LEGEND OF THE GUITAR HISTORY") matches the early-'80s originals, but no serial number was found, so the exact year is unknown.

CONDITION
Very good used condition with honest wear: rubbing and dull spots on the finish, rust on hardware (see the list of visible marks). Neck is straight with plenty of truss rod adjustment left. Electronics fully tested, no issues. The included hard case is old — please consider it a free bonus.
