It's a 150 140's have dot inlays Heritage put stingers on them every now and again It's very possible there is no break Great guitars and much better than it's U.S.A. competition Yes the tailpiece can be easily changed to the more common ones. abr and correct tailpiece plexi

Yep I second Villagers advice, in that order. You don't have to spend big money to make that guitar MUCH better. These are the simple, basic mods I do to my tokai's Bob

Nice ochay!! Hey currypowder, Don't those Dr.V's just slay you. I have a set coming for my Tokai. This will be my third, once I heard them that was it! All my guitars pups are being changed out :D Bob

I would simply sell the guitar as is and include the original pickups too. Many buyers would like that and you wouldn't have to pay to pull them out. bob

Kaze, you've pretty much described the DR.V's. They are very clear and articulate but can rock and be creamy without the mud. They are just so toneful and the real deal PAF. They are a BIT underwound for clarity and tone but there is plenty under the hood to rock. They can sound like the best...

Crybaby, in your previous post you talked about a friend who had the Dr.V's and I was just relating my experience with those pickups. The legends are killer and so are his Marshallheads but the Dr.V's. my oh my those are PAF's. Rock on :D Bob

Wolfetone DR.V's are the best I've ever heard. You wanna get the real deal PAF vintage tone these nail it!!!! Nobody else really comes close, no contest. Rolphs, Timbuckers, Ants, Holmes, Fralins, are all a far second for TRUE PAF tone. You can take any guitar and put these in and you'll quickly...

It is really a shame what's going on at Tokai. :( I love their guitars, but getting instruments in the stores is HORRID. I realize they are not a giant corp, but I think if I had the World waiting on these guitars It would become imperative to make the production happen. What about the LS...

A LS 85F or LS90Q is as good or better than a Classic or Standard. I own both and see LOTS of Les Pauls. If you go into a shop and play a Classic or Standard they won't sound any different really besides the pickups. LS125's and up will be more like a custom shop and the higher you go in spec...

I recently acquired this LS-90Q in matte finish, great guitar but I don't really care for the faded or matte finish :-? There is a brand of polish the vintage guitar dealers use all the time to help restore old finishes. "Virtuoso" is the brand name and it adds a gloss to the guitar. This is...

Roger, Yes my statements are made with a great guitar and great pickups already installed but I can see your point. I think I'll try your suggestion out. I have a Epi dot that could use a little more "opening up" it's "choking" if you know what I mean and we'll see what happens!! :lol: I trade...

I know I'm gonna hurt someones feelings with this one but I recently tried the Hovland music cap, mallory and orange drop caps in the same guitar. I think I'm pretty handy at hearing slight tone changes but in my opinion I wouldn't spend more money than getting a orange drop. They all made the...

Don't sweat the thin poly finishes they are not very tone "dampening" like a MIK Epi heavy finish. Just look at about 50% off all the high quality MIJ guitars and by the strap buttons, especially on the body end you"ll see chips around them, very thin indeed, No sweat you got a GREAT deal, if...

+1 on any Peterson for sure, I would invest in this now instead of 20 years down the road, you'll enjoy your playing much more. BUT if you can't swing the bucks the NEW Boss tu-15 is the 2nd best tuner to buy. The most accurate tuner next to a Peterson period. I know I've checked them together...

LS 85-90's are excellent guitars. There is a higher spec to the 125's and they are a great values also for the additional better specs, but the ls85-90's still have a great tone and playability and certainly on par with any Gibby Les Paul Classic to Standard model. I'm not certain about the...
