Thanks for the info. Great to learn more about that little shop in Covent Garden and sad that it went the way of so many. As I had ordered the Explorer, I had to go to the shop a couple of times and I walked in once to find them all gathered round one guy playing an old Strat which, it turned out; was an original 58’.That would have been John Gold who sold you that marvelous plank. Great little store that sadly went in the late 80's. John lives in the US now. Any top end Tokai was very difficult to find in the UK back in the 80's. Not many were imported via 'Blue Suede Music' who were the distributor. Mainly because they were pretty expensive. I think the LS 200 was quoted in the '84 catalogue price guide at 900 quid.
Within minutes they handed it over to me to play. Really nice guys.
