Hello! It's been a long time since I posted and my first post back is looking for help. I bought a new LS320 thru the distributor in the UK via my friends music store. It was around 2004-5. Whilst the guitar was on it's way up I also bought a pair of BKP pickups, a Mule and a Stormy Monday and...

Well, the autopsy begins! I really like this guitar. It has a big round neck and it sounds wonderful acoustically. The wood has really dried out over the years and it has a very sharp snap when you tap it.....like a really nicely tuned snare drum. The only let down is that the pickups have...

I would like to buy one of these Tokai pickups. The pic is from my 2011 Tokai ES135. It is a bridge pickup around 8.5k. Thanks.

I fitted this Duesenberg Trem to my 135 and I have to say it is great! It just replaces the tailpiece, no drilling, and can be removed next string change in 15 seconds if I want to go back to original. It is well made and works really well. I use 10-46 strings and the spring size and tension is...

I thought I would give some thoughts on an original ES150 and it's newer sibling the ES158. Sorry for the long post but just really loving my Tokai semi's! I bought the ES158 earlier in the year and I have posted about it in this forum. I originally contacted Mark Fletcher (Villager) about the...

My two current Yamaha's. SG1000 from 1983. Beat up but still functions well! SAS1500. Lusted after one for years. Sounds and plays great but has a slim C neck that is the only shape I can't get on with!! Came without pickguard which is £164...yep...so I mocked up one from my SG to try...

Hi everyone, bought this ES158 a couple of weeks ago and I am over the moon with it. I'm an older guy and have had Tokai's over the last 35 years and never had a bad one. This is absolutely flawless with not a glue line to be seen. I'm also an inveterate pickup swapper but I am really pleased...

Hi, Could anyone tell me the readings of the current MK2's as supplied in new guitars? I have done a search but a lot of the posts are quite old and the readings vary from around 8.5k bridge to over 11k. Is this still the case? Many thanks..... EDIT: NGD..... the answer is 7.56 neck and...

Hi everyone I thought it about time I joined this Forum after being a Tokai user for years! It seems a very friendly and knowledgeable place to hang out. Over the years I've learned that a great guitar is a great guitar regardless of what is on the headstock. I have owned lots of high end...
