It's fair to say that Gibson's recent technical innovations have been a mixed bag at best. One thing they absolutely nailed (IMO) is the new speed knob design with the knurled edges. Looks-wise they are an acquired taste, and the black ones look a lot like the wheels from a Lego tractor, but...

Forum seems a bit quiet these days, so I thought I'd follow up on a topic that was touched on in a recent thread. Anyone else replaced the plastic jack plates on their Love Rock model with a metallic version? It's not something that gets talked about much generally, but as soon as you google...

Yay! I got married last Friday and the new missus surprised me with this little beauty on the morning of the big day. Picture is minus the big wedding bow: Yammy FG-720-S-12. Apparently she bought it months ago knowing nothing of the various models available (except that I'd previously said...

I feel that after more than a decade of playing guitar and trawling related internet forums I should know this, but here goes... I know someone who owns and electro-acoustic guitar with a piezo pickup and wants to play it in a live setting through a PA. I have been asked if they could plug...

Black TFL1 on ebay - mine! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190324346348 The old warhorse has been replaced by a Yamaha of the same era and needs a good home.

Hey dudes, I've been considering parting ways with my TFL-1 recently but I don't want to do it if I'm not going to get some decent cash for it. Anyone bought/sold any Tokai stompers recently and can give me an idea of current market value? It's the black version with the metal case, in great...

I'm sure we've all noticed the recent spate of threads started by newbie posters asking us whether the guitar they've ALREADY PURCHASED is fake or not. This is a worrying trend for several reasons: 1. What happened to "buyer beware"? When did people get so foolish that they leap before they...

Just a quick pimping for www.buildyourownclone.com formerly big tone music brewery. They're building up a healthy catalogue of fx kits and they're well worth looking into if you can tell which end to hold a soldering iron. NOS components, colour coding, pre-drilled encosures, not too pricey...

*brushes cobwebs off FX forum* Right, anyone ever seen/used on of these? http://maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=31292&TabID=1&source=14&doy=10m10 5 pedal power supply for 9v Boss style fx boxes. I'm considering investing in one, but does anyone know if it'll work alright with tokai's units...

I can't find the thread on the Les Paul Forum any more but I thought I'd share this tidbit with everyone. Basically, the thread was advocating using a second thumbwheel on tuneomatic bridge posts in order to reinforce them and prevent them bending with time. Screw the two wheels tightly...

Right, anyone else seen anything like the following: In my LS-200 the neck tenon extends to the end of the fingerboard and is placed slightly to the left (face-on). The fit is very tight. HOWEVER - underneath the main body of the tenon is a curved lip. It looks like a long tenon lip, but it's a...

I've just spent an infuriating few hours playing with my tailpiece height after discovering the bridge on my love rock is starting to collapse. The problem is that if I raise it I get a hollow, metallic rattling sound on the G and B strings on variable areas of the fretboard, which I'm convinced...

I've got an email from the UK Tokai distributors. It indicates that as of next week, there will be stock of LS-200's and LS-320's in their posession. That is, 200's and 320's on their way to UK shops. That is all. YIPEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

Never try to do setup work on your guitar after a few drinks. :roll: I've adjusted my LR's tailpiece height but I stupidly forgot to measure the original post heights and now I can't remember how high one post was relative to the other. I can't remember if the screws were level or if one was...

Inspired by the mention in another topic. Has anyone actually put the tone pros bridge/tailpiece on a love rock? Do they fit directly onto the old posts/holes etc or is there modding required? Do you just pop off the old bridge and stick the new one on or do the posts need to be altered? Do...

http://www.j-guitar.com/sp/sea/view_detail.cgi?pid=10300302 Anyone seen these babies? Looks like a quilted version of the 320. Hideously ugly, but that's just quilt in general IMO (sorry LS85Q owners! :oops: )

Regent Guitars (www.guitars.co.uk) are now selling tokais, focussing on Love Rocks (starting at ?600 for the LS65) but also stocking AST's SG's and Love Rock II's. The vastly inflated price business doesn't seem to be in effect here! I sent my LS200 to them for some work a few months back and...

Has anyone repalced a Love Rock 3-way with a Gibson (switchcraft) model? I bought a Gibson one and soldered it all together but there wasn't enough thread poking through the hole to screw it on with! Anyone else had this problem? Do I need to route the cavity to make it fit? Only needs a...

This may be a long shot, but has anyone tried (on a love rock or any twin-humbucker guitar) wiring all 4 coils of a pair of humbuckers in series? I'd be interested to know how it sounds as I love unusual wiring arrangements there's a tone pot on my LR that's begging to be push-pullified.

Ok people, here are my long overdue pictures of the modded LS-200 8) Before: http://www.cyborg.ne.jp/~universe/tokai_new/ls200_4791/ls200_4791.html After: It now has Duncan Alnico 2 Pro pickups, Grover tuners, 2 push-pull coil taps & a push-pull out-of-phase switch, a shielded cavity...
