- Replies: 35

I do think that LS420 and 540?s prices are inside Gibson Historic?s price range territory (give or take a couple of bucks). Given the present yen exchange rate, it would be pretty difficult to choose between a Gibson Historics and one of those Tokais for me. And I would probably go along the Gibson ...

That's a dirty tactic, selling an older guitar as a higher model just because that's what the equivalent is today. Sorry, I think the blame lies at the door of Tokai & their stupid, stupid, STUPID model numbering system. It's a system designed for a time of zero inflation - and it makes no allowanc...

I read lots of posts from him at several Internet forums where he?s quite an active member. It seems that he really knows a lot about vintage Humbuckers and how they?re made. Besides, with the current Euro-Pound exchange rate, his prices are quite good and cheaper than the usual handmade pickup make...

Well.. I do feel it. That feeling does, eventually, goes away, with time, as the guitar gets older. But it takes long.. sometimes it takes several years depending on the guitar and quality of the Nitro used (yes, there?s Nitro and then there?s Nitro).. I had a Nitro finished Tokai which I sold aroun...

I do understand what you?re saying. And Nitro is not necessarily better than poly tonally, if a guitar builder knows what he?s doing. MIJ Tokais, for example, don?t feel plasticy as Epis, for example. Nitro is just a more "traditional" finish and more expensive and difficult to apply. I still don?t ...

I have an Overtone. Actuallly I?ve had it for around a year. Really cool amp. Sounds great.. but you need a bit of time to find your tone (at least I needed). If you just dial everything on 12 o?clock and plug your guitar, there?s a big chance that?ll not sound that good at all. Like any Dumble-base...

Others will know better than I do, but if that is the same model as my 2007 ES130 (and I think it is), it will have a nitro top coat over a poly base coat. But don't take my word for it, many others know more about these than I do. AlanN will know, I think. Mike Nitro top coat over a poly base coat...
