Hey there, pardon the long reply I just got to check in here again! Anyway.. Thanks! Unfortunately, I didn't get this one.. After hearing everyone's insights, thoughts and advices, I did more searching and testing of guitars and I found this instead. Here's a pic from the seller: Many...

I completely agree with you, I must admit sometimes I tend to get impulsive and I'm really glad for everyone's guidance and advice on matters like this. I've learned a lot and hopefully this will help other guitarists in the future when they stumble upon these kind of deals/guitars online. I'm...

Hi Axchisler! Thanks for your recommendation. You're right, I think I just needed to patient in my search. The net is indeed a vast treasure hunt. In the past, I've also found good deals online and thankfully all of them have been really nice to deal with as well. It's been a month now that I've...

Just got back in from a business trip, sorry for the late reply guys! Many thanks for everyone's inputs. Looks like I'll be on the look out on ebay for a better deal. As everyone has said, you guys are right it will be much more worth it. I'm really glad getting some advice from this forum. For...

This Goldtop actually goes for ?270. Now that you mentioned it, I feel the tag on this one is pretty steep. You're right, with a little more I can definitely go for an MIJ copy instead. But the thing is, I'm pretty dead set on getting a Goldtop and I find it a bit difficult to seek for a Goldtop...

Thanks for the confirmation on this Mike! Big help here. I totally get you, I originally was going for an MIJ Tokai but I stumbled upon this and I just wanted to double-check since I was not familiar with Korean Tokais. But now that you mentioned that your friend is having fun with it despite...

Thanks for your response Mick! You're absolutely right. I always thought that Korean Tokais also used the standard Mahogany + Maple top for the body. Yes, I am after a mahogany LP and since this isn't, now I won't even bother. Now I can sleep. Many thanks again for your insight and best...

Hey guys! I did more research on this and it appears to be Korean-made. The headstock apparently is the newer style just as what this has. As some have mentioned.. the giveaway is the studs for the bridge. Also contacted others for feedback and it turns out that seller is a legit seller for...

The guitar is not with me. I just took the pics from the sellers link of his pics. This AD ends in 6 hrs. I doubt if I could ask for a pic of the headstock with the trussrod cover off but I'll try requesting that from the seller. Thanks for the tip leadguitar =)

You're right Ozeshin. I do also think this is Korean but when I saw photos online of the backside of Korean pups, they usually have stickers/markings on them. Thank you for pointing out the "closeness" of the Tokai Logo on the headstock.. Now that you mentioned it, this appears to be a...

Thanks for your response marcusnieman! I did notice the Gibson trussrod cover as well since based on my research online, this is the only Tokai I've seen with a trussrod cover like this or maybe he replaced the stock one but that I do not know for sure.. Thanks again for your input and I hope...

More shots of the headstock:

Are these the same with the one I'm considering? http://www.dhgate.com/Tokai-LS48-Electric-Guitar-Gold-Top-Finish/p_ff80808117d9b454011808f807151472.html http://www.richtonemusic.co.uk/guitars-1/electric-guitars-2/tokai-ls48-electric-guitar-gold-top-38.html Advance thanks for everyone's time...
