A story 15 years in the making! I saw a recent advert on marketplace for a Tokai pointy strat known as the JSD model, at a resonable price. i negotiated down to a better price with the knowledge it may not be all present and correct, generic floyd trem HSS set up etc. When I went to play and...

There is a really nice 1986 TST 50 (at least) in Sam's Guitars in Chester (contact via Home - Sams Guitars). Very good condition with a few minor marks. It is one of the anomaly models where its a '57 model with the button string guide and maple neck but a three ply 11 hole scratch. We dont...

Thought I'd get a photo of all my RRs together. Middle one is Jackson professional RR 1 hand built, through neck. Solid. Got 3 projects on the go and the green dinky was a bargain.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone in the UK was interested in getting a bulk order of these Chinese made copies of the original tweed Tokai cases. I have 3 and they have metal Tokai badges and certainly fit strats and probably teles but not Les Pauls. I was offered mine for £50 so if we could get...

Guys and galls, firstly and apology. I promised this article last year but life got in the way - wait a minute, guitars are life and life is guitar. Anyway this is my description of the experience of seeking out guitars in Tokyo when I had a week there in May/June 2016. Here is the link to my...

Been meaning to compare and contrast once I removed the tort shell scratchplate from the LPB (weird but worked - however not as well as with surf green, I have a little project on the way :-)) Anyway, I digress, here you go:

I've taken a few months to post this due to the 'trauma'! The facts: In September 2012 I ordered a Tokai Mary Kaye strat and 3 tweed cases from Bob Murdoch at Tokai UK. After regularly chasing for a delivery date I eventually received the guitar in one case in August 2013. On 16th June 2016...

Just found this beauty! http://www.geocities.jp/guitar_labo/tokai-st-bg.html

I hadn't seen this one before, anyone got any comments?

A really detailed article on Squier that covers the early 'battle' between the two Japanese brands: http://planetbotch.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/truth-about-1980s-squier-strats.html

Doing my usual search for a holy grail and stumbled across this Japanese site. Is this real. I can't get iPad to translate so maybe a member may be able to do this. http://freeandeasy.shumilog.com/2010/02/10/tokai-van-halenモデル%E3%80%805150/

My book is now available via Amazon.com : https://www.amazon.com/Tokai-Forum-Members-Guitar-Collection/dp/1367967740/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1469593394&sr=1-2&keywords=Tokai+guitar Not cheapest route for European folks but might be good for US prime members if you get free postage?

On 1st June 2016 a dream that started over 30 years ago was fulfilled. I visited the Tokai guitar factory! It is a weird feeling of satisfaction with a tinge of frustration that I couldn't have spent more time asking more interesting questions rather than saying Oh Wow every 5 minutes. It was...

Nice goldstar with matching headstock http://guitar-auctions.co.uk/portfolio-post/lot-635-tokai-goldstar-sound-electric-guitar-made-in-japan/

I picked up a couple of cheap Squiers, one to get a Fender hard case, so I've done them up and will be selling the outer two. The one on the left I was going for the 70's vibe and the one on the right is similar to a vintage modified model you can get except it has a small headstock and white...

Just working my way through Bob Daisley's entertaining autobiography 'For Facts Sake' and was surprised to read this about the 1977 European tour: 'At the end of the shows where the audience had been particularly receptive and appreciative, which was nearly every night , Ritchie would sacrifice...

For a number of years I have been collating ideas for a sort of super strat that is a tribute to the guys that pushed he boundaries of the strat with mods and styles. Mostly Eddie Van Halen, pickup potted, screwed to the body etc and Steve Vai in terms of his original Green Meanie and Loch...
