That's cool! I love his playing and his approach to it all...he is just honest and I bet that bites him sometimes. I'm not in to modellers but saying that he never gets a bad tone out of anything and I can see why it's much easier to go that route for video's. Thanks for posting!

That is really beautiful.......the quality shines like a Gibson from the 50's. The condition is superb. Enjoy in good health....

Well my friend if I come across a Greco here in Scotland I will certainly want to try it. I'm strange in a way in that although I have owned many Gibson and Fender guitars over the years I love the "underdogs" like Tokai etc. They have character and I have owned my Tokai Strat for 38...

I hope you don't mind me inserting this here.....monster player who almost always plays his Tokai LS115 with stock Mk2 pickups.

I love all the quality brands of Japanese guitars and have done for over 40 years now. I have owned many Tokai and Yamaha guitars but I have never played a Greco or a Burny. That Greco looks and sounds beautiful. Jonathan is a monster player and he always lands on a good note to finish a...

Jonathan is your mate?? I follow him and he is a monster player!! I love his sense of humour too and I have watched that video a few times.....thanks for posting here.

I have lent Huw some pickup sets in the past. He is a good guy. There are some great still shots of the pickup you can snatch.

Not a very good pic but these are from a 1981 ES150R. Sorry I don't have a front pic except in the guitar. 1981 ES150R original pots.

It's a beautiful guitar..but do you know your low E is out of tune? 😊

Don't those guitars just look fantastic!!

It is a mystery...it came thru the UK distributors at the time. In fact they sent 2 up to choose from, one was a lemonburst almost and the other a cherry red. I liked the look of the lemonburst but the cherry played and felt a bit better so I went for that one. They were new and not demo...

In this guitar these Keiyo pickups are magical.........blown away. Pickups new....well 20 years old but never used. After aging.....will get better with use and look more natural. Eagle eyes will notice correct shape pickup covers installed when I aged the pickups...courtesy of OTPG.

Brilliant! I thought mine was supposed to have Seth Lovers too but I have to admit these Keiyo's in "my" guitar sound phenomenal.......so you got lucky with Seth's and I got lucky with Keiyo's.......albeit 20 years later! I wish I still had my 320 but it funded a guitar I am in love with.

Thank's mate....appreciated.

Pic of the Keyio's in the guitar...a bit too shiny but next string change I will age the covers.

The Dimarzio's that came stock in my old 81 ES150R were around 7.8-8.0k but were way under powered, very low output compared to all my other humbucking guitars. Maybe they used weaker magnets back then or they lost their charge. The Keyo's I have put in my LP have readings of 7.5 and 11.5 but...

This is a complete guess but the Dimarzio Super Distortion had hexagonal screw pole pieces and came out in 77/8 I think and as Dimarzio were supplying Tokai with pickups back then they may have requested that Goto/Tokai used regular polepieces to not infer they were Dimarzios. Larry is funny...

I totally agree about changing pickups before they get a fair shot. I can't even remember playing these 320's before I had BKP's installed! It was a natural thing to do back then to replace "the std. Jap pickups with something better"...20 years later they are in my number one and I am blown...
