Diamond, you're a dealer right? Give it to me straight, no bs sales pitch or anything like that, how does the premium series lc200 compare to the vintage series lc107 when it comes to sound? There's like a $1000 difference in price there. Is all of that just for the bling (1 piece vs 2 piece...

I've seen videos on youtube where people were comparing the tone of stock Tokai's to that of a Gibson and the Tokai seems brighter. I think that people were comparing the Tokai LS models to the Gibson Les Paul standards. Would you guys say that your Tokai's sound brighter, when compared to a...

Trust me, If I could try one firsthand, I would have. I wouldn't even bother posting this question here. I live in Los Angeles and NONE of my friends and NONE of their friends have a Tokai. In fact, they all snicker at the thought of some guitar called a Tokai being able to match or even be...

So you don't have to actually go through a dealer? Where would I go to contact tokai directly so that they could make me a guitar?

The finish on those guitars look great. With the vintage and premium series, if you were to compare those guitars to a Gibson (standard or custom), would you rate them as being equal or better than the Gibson? Did you get those guitars by ordering them from a store in Japan and had it shipped...

Is the only main difference between the vintage and premium series a cosmetic one? There is quite a bit of difference in price between the LC200 and the LC98. To be honest, I just want something that matches a Gibson Les Paul Custom without having to pay the ridiculous price of $3800 for a...

I live in the USA and I'm new to Tokai guitars, I'm also a left-handed player. I really wanted to get a lefty Tokai LC200 (love the red wine color). I emailed Taniguchi Gakki.jp about that model and they told me that they didn't have the LC200, but instead had the LC205. The guitar comes with...
