    I have a MIM Classic Player 50's. The Tokai neck is substantially larger.

    New Tokai 335 copy, please help!

    I am with Honeyboy on this one. First, we all like our Tokai guitars. They are amazing. However, we all should agree that one reason that we purchased our Tokai's is that they are much cheaper than Gibsons and Fenders. I love my Tokai. If Tokai's were legit, they would be sold in the US. Stop...

    New Tokai 335 copy, please help!

    Hey bird, Yes, I do like the pu's. I was going to look into new pu's, but I think I will wait, the stock ones are working fine. I did have some cold solder problems, but the dealer took care of that for me. Do you have the Grover tuners? I like them.

    Hey sunbird, Nice guitar. I have the same guitar. I agree, I can't put mine down and I could care less where it is built.

    Hi JSD, I fully agree with your comments. Many of us get caught up in the name and place of manufacture. At the end of the day I want a quality guitar that sounds great. We should play for ourselves and hope that others appreciate the tone, not the name on the headstock. play on!

    New Tokai 335 copy, please help!

    Hi Dan, I have been told that the model number is DH 502 and is based on the Korean NES 80. I go with Tokai semi hollow. I suggest that instead of talking about it, you play it!

    New Tokai 335 copy, please help!

    Yes, they are made in China. I have one of those. Does your guitar have Grovers? I am from Canada as well, these things seem to be a Canadian deal. I played a number of semis before I pulled the string on this thing. Mine is red. IMHO I think it is a pretty nice guitar. I had a few issues with...

    Tokai at NAMM

    I agree with both sides of the argument. Tokai has the copy thing down to a science, and for the most part, that is the attraction. High quality copies at a reasonable price. I do like the new model in the picture. I have a Godin that looks just like it! (Godin came first!).

    Korean Tokai Quality?

    Hi Wyzeoldemaster, ****, I think you beat me to it. Did you buy the guitar at Underdog? I was looking at that one! I bought a Tokai 335 and love it. I was just getting ready to buy the LoveRock. Did you look at the Reverends? I have been told to check out their Roxbury's. Headin' downtown...

    Korean Tokai Quality?

    Canadians seem to have a line on better quality MIK guitars. I am not sure why, but we were foturnate. Unfortunately, I have heard that we will not longer be able to purchase Tokai guitars in Canada. Something to do with the big boys. Oh well, we were lucky for a while.

    I just visited the tanglewood website (http://www.tanglewoodguitars.co.uk/products/stockDetails.asp?cID=520&sID=1842) It looks very similar to my guitar.

    What did I buy??? Plz help identify my new Tokai...

    Hmmmm... I hate to disagree. I am almost positive that it is not Japanese. For example, the truss rod cover has 3 screws. I thought this was a dead give away that it was not Japanese. Second clue: I paid $600. New (no case, tax not included). I can't imagine getting a Japanese Tokai for this...
