HaHa! Everybody knows that Tokai pickups were made for Epi LPs! :) G

I only took em because they don't seem to show up too often on ebay, but having known the seller personally, that swung it for me. Having said that, I know he has had more than one Tokai, and that fact alone makes me wonder...'just a little bit! :) They will suffice until I actually buy a Tokai...

He says they were taken from his 99 MIJ, but to be honest, Mike (the seller) buys and sells so many guitars and spare parts, he could easily get his facts mixed up about something like the exact specs of a pickup. That's what bother me really! :) I trust him, but he 'could' get it way wrong! G

DC resistance 8.4K neck & 8.4K bridge. (Is that a bit unusual?). G

Just says 'made in japan' on the ones in the photo, so hopefully they will be MK2 or MK3. So the Chinese pups used to be Korean? My god, does Tokai re-write their rule-book every year? They seem to go out of their way to complicate things so much. G

Japanese pickups in a MIK axe? Do they do that? G

But aren't the MK4s only on the Chinese Tokais? G

In that case, these will be fine by me. :) Strangely, the new pickups on my friend's Tokia ar Gibsons. How can you be sure though, that the ones I bought are MK3s? I've had a look around at other Tokai LPs, even from 1999, but can only see mention of MK1 & MK2 pups. Anyone know the...

Here's the ones I bought....'MK3s? Hmm. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27635147@N04/4068983165/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/27635147@N04/4068982065/ Still can't tell what they might be exactly, but they sure look like the ones in Mike's guitar. Would like to know for sure, but probably...

I took the offer up and paid exactly ?60 for the pair. I think I did okay, but now I'm not sure if they are MK2 or maybe MK3 pups. Is there 'any' way of telling, or even a clue of some kind? :) They were taken from a Japanese made Loverock Standard, manufactured in 1999. It was 'probably' an...

I've just been offered a set of MK2 PAFs from a Tokai LS85, but how much (in UK pounds) should I pay for them? I plan to install them on my Epiphone LP Standard. G

Great 'sig' btw! Do you think Walsh actually said that? :)

I hate to say this, but 'that' would annoy me. :( I'm not usually a snob about guitars, but I'd want my Tokai to look like a Gibson as well as play and sound like one. Thanks for the pics! Nice guitars there!

My gawd! Is that what they do? How on earth are we supposed to keep track of older models when they keep changing the numbers?

What exactly is this 'dimple/pimple'? Is there a photo of it anywhere? I can't say I see any difference between the JP and the Richtone ones. :)
