Well that's a relief. I really hope as I've it for sale on ebay (posted here also). I don't want someone accusing me that it's a fake. Seems real to me but I'm no expert. I'd keep the axe but it needs a good going over, and I have a thing for dings in the paint, no matter how small they are...

May as well list this up here too. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254269340145?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Having looked at that catalogue, none of those are that guitar. They don't have that Tokai tremolo. Thanks for that other info though. That guitar since I've owned it hasn't had a sticker above the made in japan sticker. Also there is no sticker on the butt of the neck. This is why I was...

Hi all, I would be grateful if some of you could identify my Tokai Super Edition. Is this a fake do you think? This is the only number I can find. Seems to say, 3 - 18 LB V Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Well I got a code. Could not be bothered removing the neck. Also found this, which is slightly worrying. Does this look like it may give way at some point in the future? I have never saw a crack there before on a guitar. Very worried indeed.

Ok I read that thread, but now I'm confused. So it doesn't matter is numbers do not match on the body or butt of the neck? How can we tell if it's a legit tokia then? Just by the way of numbers being on the body and the neck?

No I don't have shots of those areas. I'm due to change the strings as the ones that are on it are well dead. I can take a look then and photograph. What should I be looking for on the butt end of the neck? And what should I be looking for under the hood? If its fake it still plays really...

Hi all, I was wondering if it was possible to tell if this guitar I bought recently is a fake Tokai or not? The reason I ask is because the text on the headstock seems poorly finished, I mean the worst finished I have ever seen! So this got me thinking that perhaps the guitar is a copy or...

So no one can help with the correct sorta fret wire then? No one ever refretted their tokai guitars? :(

Ok well I read somewhere that a guy with a Love Rock replaced his bridge with a Gotoh Gotoh Nashville Tune-O-Matic Bridge Large Posts - GE103B-TC which has apparently got 6.5 mm bridge posts

Does anyone know if the following type of Tone Pro bridge would suit a FV40 MIK? TonePros Model T3BT http://www.tonepros.com/products.htm I have no idea about the size of the posts and what the metric and non metric measurments of tune O matic sizes actually mean. I was hoping to replace the...

I have come across this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TonePros-Metric-Tuneomatic-Nickel-Large-Post-T3BT-N_W0QQitemZ280358421929QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar_Accessories?hash=item4146aa05a9 I am looking for something with these measurements then? What kind of metal are Gibson bridges made out off? Steel...

Oh ok thanks. I wasn't looking for a direct replacement, I was hoping for a good quality bridge, like better metal and what have you. Thanks for the info I shall be aware of this metric measurements. Thanks.

Can anyone recomment any good replacment bridges for my Tokai MIK Flying V? Oh and will standard gibson replacement tune-o-matics fit ok or will I have to look for bridges of a certain size? Thanks for any help offered. Gerry

Na your ok, its just my opinion. The new show is nothing like the old show, it really is a kids show now!! I love the Dr's you mentioned and the whoards of who fans who existed before the new series agree!! I believe they're partly why there is a new series due to the undying popularity of...
