Mark - Is your Jap 'Tele' a Tokai ?. I used to own a Fender 'American Standard' Telecaster. I sold it & bought the Tokai. I made some cash & ended up with a guitar that sounded just as good. It seems like the 'lipstick' treble pickup on your Tele's been replaced by a humbucker ?,

The acoustic guitar has now 'left the building' & has been replaced with an Ellis "A" style mandolin.

Some nice stuff there.
Thanks for sharing.

Looking at this 7 year old thread, I realize that everything I've pictured is gone or about to be. I'll have to do an updated one to compare. I've tried to downsize a little, lol!

I didn't notice the date--but an updated picture is in order.

I'm pretty sure that your Lys was an L18CW...do you still have it...if yes please send me some pics and serial number...

I'm searching everyday for info on Lys but never seen your post before!

Thanks.

I have a family picture posted. It is in need of updating however. It doesn't include my Big Muddy M11 or the mandolinetto. A new family portrait is in the works.

Also it doesn't include the two fiddles, tenor banjo, ukulele, ukulele banjo, guitar, or piano, which are all more camera shy.

Oh, yea, and the Fender MandoStrat.
