(Sold)Tokai - TALBO A-135H
owner: Shin
2018.1.17: I've had the chance to touch a few of the people who own them a few times, but I wondered how they would sound in my normal sounding environment.
It has a different weight than the unique wood body, which is refreshing.
2018.3.5: After discussing the wiring and modifications with them, I had a rough idea of what I wanted to do, so I finished the work I was going to do.
Finally, I went from a 5-way selector to a simple 3-way wiring and added a coil tap switch in the knob side hole.
I bought a VS-100N and tried to put it on, but found out the other day that the arm housing interferes with it and won't go on easily, so it will be modified at the factory.
2018.3.31: I found a push switch that turns off only while being pressed at an electrical parts store, and the size was just right for the hole I had opened, so I added it as a kill switch.
2018.4.26:I had a counterbore machined at Secret Factory for a Hobby Laser Gun addition, VS-100N.
2018.6.30: I had a modification done by a Twitter follower to put LEDs under the pickguard.
The LEDs are linked to the sound of the strings as well as the laser gun.
The laser gun is powered by a separate power source, and the jack and switch are dual powered so that the battery is not consumed while the jack is disconnected, and even if the battery runs out, the LED on/off switch bypasses the LED and the sound is emitted.
2021.11: I sold it because I was satisfied with the customization I wanted to do and never played it again.
