    2000 MIJ Tokai LS65... Worth it?

    Hi Guys, This is my guitar and to be honest I'm sad to be selling after so little time of ownership but I just can't get on with the body shape and weight (not that it's overly heavy for a LP). I just aim to recover what I spent and am looking at getting a Tokai 335. If anyone wants more...

    What are these pickups?

    These are the same as the pickups fitted to my guitar and i've seen pics on the forum of other guitars with the same pickups. I assume they are MK2's made by Gotoh (Gotoh is also marked on them along with "made in Japan". I know the newer MK2's do now have the braided cable though but these may...

    Wanted 2 x Humbuckers for my Love Rock

    I'm after a pair of humbuckers for my Love rock to replace the existing PAF MK2's as they tend to squeel under high gain. PM me if you have anything which may be suitable.

    got my self a Love Rock!

    I was considering the Rolling Mills, how do you think they compare to the Tokai MK2's tonally and output? Do you know If these are made in the UK? I was assuming not given the price. Marc

    Pickup Identification

    Can anyone tell me how to identify the humbucker pickups fitted to Love Rocks. I understand they were made by Gotoh and they were possibly different pre/post 2005. I've searched the forum and I see some marked "LP-A F" and some marked "LP-F F". Obvioiusly the "F" at the end indicates front or...

    New Tokai Owner - Urgent Help Please!!

    I have one more question. The guitar I brought is a 2000 LS65. I now understand that the model numbers represent the cost in Yen so obviously change. So my question is what does my 2000 LS65 equate to in today's models? Thanks

    New Tokai Owner - Urgent Help Please!!

    Hi All, Picked up the guitar yesterday and now checked it out fully and am 100% certain it's all original MIJ other than the trus rod cover. Great condition and very "vintage 59 LP looking", not sure if this was the model Tokai were trying to replicate. No flame on the maple obviously but still...
