I agree. But the reason why I support this poster is because it is not based on one guitar. It is based on quite a few. This is not an isolated incident, there are many people out there who don't even know about the Tokai forums who have had quality issues with Tokai's. I have come across...

Reading carefully through all this and having the same experience of being sold a dud Tokai, I would like to make a few points. The ultimate responsibility for quality control is the factory, then the distributor and then the dealer regardless of the name on the headstock. Brand loyalty seems...

PM me the delear details I recently have had issues with a UK Tokai dealer selling Grade B stock and the Trading Standards are taking the matter through the courts. If your dealer is the same one then Trading Standards will want to hear from you ASAP.

Buy Japanese. I have just had a very bad experience with MIK Tokais. The majority of the MIK Tokais I looked at were built very shabby. I now own a MIJ with another on the way and the build is a million times better. There appears to be a large amount of B Stock ( seconds ) MIK Tokais in the...

The issue with my MIK Tokai never put me off because my tutor also owns about five Tokai MIJ models ( not including around 30 Fender Strats) and they are so well built and sound fantastic. I will just stear clear of the UK MIK ones for now :-?

Picked it up for ?325 including case and with the open book headstock. Pleased as punch. Owned by a lady and been cleaned everyday :o

Thanks

How long have the MIJ Tokais had the double dimple headstocks for the UK market ?

Looks like I could be the owner of two MIJ Tokais then ( not including the duff MIK :cry: ).

Just to bounce this again. I have been offered a Tokai MIJ three pickup white SG ( USG100) that is just under 2 years old in as new condition for ?350 including the proper Tokai hardcase. But I have noticed a few of these come up on ebay around the ?340- ?390 price range and they dont seem to...

What would I expect to pay in ? for a decent used USG100 and are they any issues to look out for ?

The issues were not that they were not in a straight line, but the spacing was out between most of them. If there was a 5mm gap between the Bottom E and A then the others varied between 2mm and up to 8mm. They were on the twist and in most case's ( of the ones I looked at ) the holes were not...

I would like to expand on that by asking why B-Stock guitars are not marked as B-Stock in same way ? I believe Gibson used to put a stamp on the back of the headstock showing that they were B-Stock and Fender note down the serial numbers of B-Stock guitars so they can be traced back. Because...

True. But common sense should prevail in any ongoing legal case.

Sorry for having to pull my posts but In view of some new information given to me this afternoon I believe the dealer I obtained the guitar from to be selling repaired and B stock without informing the buyer. I was told that legal action was started against this seller by another buyer on...
