May find something of interest here http://www.digimart.net/shop_detail.do?shop_no=50 Don't know if they export :-? ,must be worth a try!!! pb

I've got an ES120 and it's excellent.Played quite a few Gibbo's some good ,some bad (twice the price) and couple of great examples (four times the price!) :( .Overall the Toks are great value nicely finished and easy on the pocket! :)

Hi Toweysan, I bought a guitar a few weeks ago, as Ian says is correct but I also had too pay a Parcel Force 'handling charge' of ?14 hmmmph!! The charge for shipping was around ?85 and was fully insured. I would buy direct from Japan again (the deal went without a hitch) :) but would order a...

http://www.firstmail.com/guitars/bookmark.htm Hi Doombuggy, have a look at these Japanese outlets,you may find something.I can recommend TC Gakki. Hope it's useful pb

Hi Rick,I've messed around with different wiring and pickups on strats and came to the same conclusions as Lasher ,.022caps and 250k pots. I have one strat with Kinman and one with Fralin pickups, both totally different, but both sets have quality tone (worth checking out) pb

Have a look in the archives there is a picture of a Modified Goldstar...looks alright.Phantomlord started the thread. Nothing wrong in being vain! 8)

Hi Ian old chap,no problem. :D Bill Nelson,now there's a name from the past!,not my cup of Earl Grey but some great solos especially on Maid in Heaven :) His son is by all accounts a bit of a fine 'shredder' (oh dear!) :roll: The OBG is a damned fine guitar nearly as good as my Tokai ES120...

Hi Ian,just a quick follow on from the link Sneaky posted.I bought an Orville by Gibson 335 from him,it came within a week and exactly as described.I would buy from him again and probably will (but don't tell the missus!) :wink: .....highly recommended. pb

Hi LRUK, decals on my Goldstar look the same.....but for all I know mine could be a fake! :-? pb

Totally agree with Pal. :)

Mr Mojo speaks the truth,the 'French spy incident' did take place.If you ever find yourself in Hartlepool get yourself down to the pub....the locals love to talk about it! :wink: Welcome aboard Mickey!! pb

Hi Dr. Wu, I've got an ES120 which after a little TLC and a pro setup plays,sounds and feels great.A lot of owners have been putting aftermarket pickups on their guitars (ie Seth Lovers, Fralins etc) but I'm happy with the originals.Have a look on Harmony for reviews.Sorry I can't comment on the...

Hi Shaunfreak,Orville by Gibson are high end replicas with Gibson pickups, hardware and nitro finish.Orville on the other hand are the lower spec models ie japanese pickups,hardware and poly finish (still well made though!). :) Mickey where you at, I'm from just down the road in Darlo. pb
