soo.. if there is anyone selling that "block" neck inlays one ES135/ES150 , preferably in sunburst or classic red/cherry please let me know. im in france, the only (decent) local dealer selling Tokai in Paris has sold out almost all the Love Rock models he had in stock and the only one ES-335...

that's the one! 8)

Hi I'm looking to get one of those ES-335 TD like Tokai, i saw some pics on various websites and got confused by the exact name.. on some pages and catalogs it was saying Tokai ES-150 , and some others Tokai ES-135 ... the one im looking to get is the sunburst Gibson Es-335/345/355 TD -...

sorry to hear you can't buy Tokai guitars in the US here in france we got a great dealer where i bought mine, brand new, mij www.guitarstore.fr and oh yeah, you won't find any new ones in the US for some time: http://dockets.justia.com/docket/court-tnmdce/case_no-3:2004cv00449/case_id-15689/

a question: which new pickups you are planning to install? personally, i prefer to let do the pickups replacement job by experienced specialists , usually they do it good at guitar stores. for your new pickups, id recommend to check these: http://www.lollarguitars.com/Pickups.htm those...

that is the "official" Tokai guitars japan website? doh... :o well, i checked there,; and the one that looks just like mine seems to be referenced differently as "LC180SS" .. strange

well, the one i got was slightly more expensive than the other standard ones (non black color) models they had in store, from what ive heard it appears to be a "custom" one, and yes it has this head stock decoration logo thing, which others doesnt. and the funny thing is, the same day in the...

i don't see anything wrong with installing a pickguard on that! (if done properly tho)

ok, i have solved the pickguard problem i just exchanged the original black one for a white one from the store where i have purchased the guitar, also i added some more customizing by replacing the knobs with "vintage style" ones, the rythm/treble ring and the pickup guards.. all were...

sounds really bad. I really don't understand why Tokai has no official website and no offial dealers list. If i have not been recommended to check and try out a Tokai, as of today i would probably stick around with some poop made 2008 LP Studio / Faded

i got mine from a guitar store in paris, they import Tokai's. it's made in japan and the firs two digits of the stomped s/n begins with 08 i have slightly "customized" it, using Gibson parts that perfectly matched the size and fitted in shape (below the 'before and after' pic): i installed...

Hi i'm looking to replace my black pick guard with a cream/white one, i was wondering if it is ok to get one of those from Gibson will match the size and fit on it properly? thanks

Hi all I have recently discovered Tokai guitars on recommendation, i must admit i used to be a hardcore Gibson and Fender only guitar guy. I already own two Gibson US guitars, one is an ES-175 of 1990 and another one is a Flying V Faded of 2002; both are great etc, i also own a Fender Strat...
