>☹ >☹ , So I was playing my Tokai LS-160 whilst seated. I leaned forward to fiddle with a pedal and my oversized midriff expelled my guitar with gutso gusto onto the floor , hitting the steel leg of a nearby chair on its way ..... :'( :sorry: I hate dings and dents on my stuff and in looking around who could fix this for me , I was introduced to a very pleasant chap right here on GFSA ; Neon Gecko . Based in the Kempton Park area , Neon Gecko is a full-time partner in B&S Custom Guitars. I took the guitar to him to look at . He was happy and confident enough to tackle this project. I am confident he will do a fine job . Here's whats been done so far ............ :yup: The damage Stripped and ready for repair Sanded Nitro filler sanded Nitro sealer , first coat More pics to be posted as this progresses, i'm super-thrilled so far.....

Well done to Neon Gecko!!!

And thanks for sharing Joel (Yes, in my earlier post I was referring to the earlier botched job on the other Tokai but a well known shop and NOT to Neon Gecko's great work ?)

Fantastic thread that gives credit where it's due!
