Tokai VC-75
Now this is something you don't see everyday! A collaboration between guitarist Vivian Campbell and the Japanese guitar company Tokai. From my limited research this guitar was in the works from 87-88 whilst Campbell was playing in Whitesnake, he was booted from the band in 1988 before the guitar actually saw the light of day in 1989! For this reason the VC-75 (and the lower specc'd VC-55) weren't built in big numbers and they aren't many kicking about in the wild.
The guitar itself is a cool looking axe that is very similar to the Rand guitars that Campbell was known for with a few more switches for good measure!
Spec:
- Basswood body with Maple cap
- Maple neck
- Rosewood fingerboard
- 27 jumbo frets
- 2x Tokai L White humbuckers
- 3-way selector micro switch
- 2x 3-way micro switches for each pickup on/off and coil split
- Master Volume
- Tokai locking tremolo
- Tokai tuners
Our old VC is in very good condition for a guitar of this vintage. A couple of marks here and there (pictured) but nothing unsightly. Frets are in great shape. Freshly set up with Daddario 10's and ready to go!
