Any one know for sure? At first I thought it was some kind of pod or...

    I only have an LS70f but the pickups are fine. I would never replace them.

    LS70 Headstock question

    Ah I see. So my LS was not intended for the UK market and may well have been imported from Japan. I know about that time some friends were importing instruments (Fender Japan) from Ishibashi music. Ta!

    Relic guitars...waste of money?

    When I first started playing guitar I had no money. I had to buy cheap second hand things with bits missing and many a dent or scratch. The very Idea of going on stage with something that looks like its been set on fire then pushed through a Combine harvester is totally repellent to me. BAD...

    Tokai Telecaster

    Could be a late 90's Korean Squier with some swapped hardware and phoney decals. I have to say though it looks very nice! if it sounds as good as it looks you have a cool guitar there!. Just get the decals changed. Maybe get your own name on there. Country Boy Telecaster Yup!

    Newbie guitarist

    The SG custom would probably close at less money, and if you like Les Pauls it would be closer to what you like. I would have it if I could justify another electric!

    just got my tele!

    Mind You, the Ate's are a bit mediocre..........But as someone else mentioned get a pro set up, Then get some Kent Armsrong P'ups ant try it then. I can't be as bad as the 80's Fender Tele's. I have '92 Korean Squier which is better than them!

    Buying a Tokai on a budget

    First of all The Korean ALS48 will be way better than your current axe! Getting it set up by a pro should make it even better. If you can get the Japanese model do, because they are good enough to do you the rest of your playing life. Im 47...I could afford a Gibson...but my Love Rock Ls70f...

    Korean Tokai Quality?

    This happens with even the most expensive guitars, drop it in its *** ans it will wreck the strap button.

    Pickup advice

    I prefer the classic LP sound. I would go for the Seth Lovers or maybe Kent Armstrong Hpan+1 's The armstrongs are very fairly priced to if budget is an issue.
