I currently have the stock MK2 pickups in my ES-130, and they sound nice... but as you know guitarists often just want more ! I was looking at high end PAF pickups and was wondering if they were that much better than the stock pickups... of course the best way would be to try them but since...

I'm thinking about upgrading the electronics of my es-130. Anybody knows if a switchcraft lp toggle switch will fit ? It seems very long Will I have to enlarge the holes a bit ? And finally, has anyone noticed a definite improvement when changing the stock mk2 pickups ? They sound nice but I...

Hello, I would like to know if cts pots and switchcraft switches fit into a tokai Es-130 without any modification. Also, I'm a little afraid of doing the rewiring myself because of the difficulties related to the guitar construction. Do you have any advices for me ? Thanks

Edwards Fender copies and Fender Japan guitars have roughly the same price and the two brands have a good reputation, so I'm wondering : which one is of better quality ? Does fender Japan use nitro or poly on their guitars ? How do they compare to each other in terms of overall quality ?

My lp is an Edwards, but since this problem could also apply to a Tokai guitar and this is the part of the forum that is the most active, I figured I could post that here. I hope this doesn't bother anyone :) Now for the problem : I completely rewired my lp with to 50's style, with mallory...

I did a search and didn't find lots of informations about this guitar. Here it is : http://www.ishibashi.co.jp/webshop/guitar/epiphone/lp-standard_lq.htm And here are the specs : BODY Maple Top / Mahogany Back NECK Mahogany / Set, 16th Fret Deep Joint FINGERBOARD Rosewood FRETS 22 /...

I just ordered some CTS pots and Mallory caps for my Edward LP, and I'm starting to think about how I will rewire it. I heard some people raving about the 50's wiring so I made some searches on Google, and surprisingly enough there weren't a lot of informations about it. Even on Seymour Duncan's...

I need some infos on these guitars : First, are they built in the same factory as the other Ewards guitars or in some kind of custom shop ? Second, why aren't these models featured on the official Edwards website ? And finally, even if it's not clearly stated by the brand, we all know that...

I would like to install these in my future Edwards LP : http://www.guitarelectronics.com/c=FPHnJaJ7p23JguFUbRfEwswjA/product/PK3LL Is it easily done ? I'm asking because I'm worried wether the hole sizes are big enough or not. Thanks

I would like to know the difference in terms of sound between these two styles of guitar. The reason I'm asking this is because I want to buy an LP guitar, problem is I already have a 335 (the es-100) and I'm wondering if they sound different enough to justify owning the two. Thanks :)

I recently bought an ES-100 and I really love it ! The sound, the sustain, the neck... excellent ! However, I'm wondering if it's interesting to swap the MK-II's for other pickups. I'm thinking about putting some seymour duncans, do you think it will improve the sound ? And what pickups do you...

Hi, I would like to buy a jazz guitar (es-175 style) but like many of us I can't afford the Gibson model. There is the epiphone version, but I doubt that the quality will be up to my expectations. Does tokai has a jazz guitar model in their catalog today ? What's the name of the model and where...

I read in a post here that someone received his Tokai guitar with a separate pickguard and no holes drilled, which is great. Is this the case for all Love Rock models ?

I'm planning to order my tokai guitar from www.apollonmusic.com , since Ishibashi doesn't have any of them in stock right now. Are they serious ? Is it safe to order from them ?

- On Tokai's website it is not mentioned that the LS75 has a set neck, but in this page http://www.apollonmusic.com/c_menu/natsukasi_G/Tokai.html they say that it has one. Who is wrong ? - Does anybody knows what is the difference between MK2 and MK3 pickups ? - Where I can I find a decent...

Hello everyone, I recently discovered Tokai guitars and I' planning to buy one in a few months. I went to their website and saw this page : http://www1.odn.ne.jp/tokaigakki/sub1.htm. It's hard to choose between all these models, especially when it's impossible to read their specs. I want a...
