This is a Tokai Love Rock Bass made in Korea in a really sharp cherry sunburst finish.

Cool piece—Les Paul-style bass with dual humbuckers, bound body, and a nice figured top under the burst. Not something you see every day compared to the usual Fender-style stuff, and it definitely stands out.

This one has had some work done, all professionally handled by our in-house luthier (Charles Dick):

• The fretboard had begun to separate slightly from the neck at one point

• It has since been properly reglued and is solid

• Saddles were also replaced due to wear

Everything is now structurally sound and playing great. Neck feels good, action is comfortable, and it sounds exactly like you’d want—warm, punchy, and a little thicker than a typical J-style bass.

Cosmetically, it’s in great overall shape. There are some signs of wear here and there, but nothing major. The repair area is visible if you’re looking closely (see photos), but it’s stable and not an ongoing issue.

Overall, this is a great-playing, unique bass at a price point that reflects the prior repair.

This is a Fender Japan Jazz Bass in Olympic White from the mid-2000s Crafted in Japan era.

Classic look on this one—Olympic White with a tortoise guard and rosewood board. Hard to beat that combination. The tort on this one has a really nice deep red pattern that pops against the body, not the dull brown stuff you sometimes see.

Built during the CIJ period, which is known for really solid consistency and quality. Slim Jazz Bass neck, comfortable to play, and exactly what you’d expect feel-wise if you’re used to a traditional J.

Condition is excellent overall. Very clean body with only light cosmetic wear. Neck is smooth, frets are in great shape with plenty of life left. Hardware is clean and everything functions as it should.

No surprises here—just a clean, great-playing Jazz Bass that looks right and does the job.

This is a Fender Japan ST62-TX Stratocaster in Burgundy Mist Metallic with a matching headstock from the mid-2000s.

This one is a standout example. The Burgundy Mist on these Japanese models has a slightly warmer, almost copper tone to it compared to the more silver-leaning versions, and it really pops in the light. Paired with the matching headstock, it gives the guitar a much more custom shop feel than your typical reissue Strat.

Factory TX pickups, rosewood fretboard, and all the correct vintage-style appointments. The aged plastics and mint guard work really well with this finish—just a great overall look.

Condition is excellent. Very clean body with only light signs of use. Neck is smooth and comfortable, frets are in great shape with plenty of life left. Hardware is clean and everything functions as it should.

These ST62-TX models are some of the more desirable MIJ Strats already, and finding one in Burgundy Mist with a matching headstock is not something you see often.

Plays great, sounds great, and looks even better in person.

This is a killer Ishibashi FSR Made in Japan Telecaster Custom in a really sharp translucent blue finish with white binding. It’s one of those guitars that just looks better in person than you expect—super clean, classy, and a little different from your typical Tele.

The standout here is the birdseye maple neck. It’s got some really nice figuring throughout—not over-the-top, but enough to make you stop and look. Comfortable modern C feel, plays exactly how you’d want a good MIJ Fender to play.

Fit and finish is excellent as you’d expect from Japanese production. Nice tight neck pocket, clean fretwork, and everything feels solid.

Electronics are your classic Tele setup:

• Single coil neck pickup

• Slanted bridge pickup

• Traditional control layout

The blue finish appears thin and shows some grain through it. I suspect it may be nitro or a thin poly, but I cannot confirm that—so I won’t advertise it as nitro.

Condition:
Overall very clean.

• Light surface swirling from normal handling

• Small chip on the edge (pictured)

• A couple faint marks here and there, nothing major

No structural issues. Frets look great, plenty of life left. Neck is straight and truss rod functions as it should.

If you’re looking for something a little more unique than a standard Tele but still very much in that classic lane, this is a great one.

Vemuram Jan Ray overdrive pedal.

One of the most sought-after boutique overdrives out there — known for its extremely transparent, amp-like response. Think edge-of-breakup tones with tons of clarity and headroom. Works exceptionally well as an always-on tone sweetener or for pushing a tube amp.

Hand-built in Japan by Vemuram (Tri-Sound Inc.), with premium components and that signature copper/brass enclosure.

This one is in excellent condition with very minimal signs of use. Super clean overall.

Fully tested and working exactly as it should.

Includes original box.

Runs on standard 9V DC (center negative).

Foxgear RATS distortion pedal.

This is Foxgear’s take on the classic RAT-style circuit — covering everything from light overdrive to full-on distortion and fuzz territory. Simple 3-knob layout (Gain, Filter, Volume) makes it easy to dial in, and it stacks well with other pedals.

Pedal is in excellent condition and appears barely used. Clean overall with minimal signs of handling.

Fully tested and working as it should.

Includes original box.

Standard 9V DC power supply operation.

Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal distortion pedal, made in Japan.

This is the original MIJ version — the one known for the iconic “chainsaw” tone used in Swedish death metal and beyond. Super aggressive distortion with tons of gain and a unique EQ section that lets you dial in that signature sound.

Pedal is in good working condition and sounds exactly as it should. Cosmetically shows normal wear from use — some paint chips and scuffs around the edges as pictured, but nothing out of the ordinary for a vintage Boss pedal.

All knobs and jacks function properly. Made in Japan, black label on the back.

Runs on standard Boss-style power supply or 9V battery.
