Any experiences of this guitar? I?d really like to hear some comments. It looks quite neat to me and coiltapped pickups sound a good idea. Shape looks like 335, but smaller. All the comments are welcome. And especially, how much did you have to pay for it if you got one? Tokai-guitars.co.uk says...

Btw, these "Tradition" pickups were totally full of wax, compared to others. For example ?85 pup?s had wax barely at all.

8,82k Rear and 8,6k Front. Those look quite normal Tokai values to me. I?ve measured few of them and I?ve had ?57PAF?s MK1 / MK2 /MK4?s. On my ?85 LS they are 8,5k-R and 8,1k-F.

The problem is that I don?t know the model. These came with other brand guitar, and the seller told me they?re from Tokai LP from 90?s. That was he?s previous guitar and I don?t see any reason to doubt that. Not that they?re any special. I just got interested, because I?m giving them away and...

Also the metal baseplate looks like it?s brass, though I?ve seen others like that. But it?s made of different metal than on my ?85 LS60:

I?m looking for information of Tokai humbucker pickup, just curious. I removed chrome covers of Tokai paf-copies from 90?s and what I found get me interested. I?ve opened Tokai pickups before but never saw this before. Pickup had nice zebra coloured bobbins, black and white. Well, that?s...

Thank you for your time gyus. And especially to Mike, that?s the exact answer I was looking for. I think I?ll go with Gotoh Klusons, the locking ones. But the old ones I?m going to keep just in case I?ll want to return to originals one day or maybe find two good ones to get the whole set.

Well, I?d say if you got a good deal on gibson pickups, you won?t go much wrong. Of course there?s several other good makers too. I had Gibson Classic ?57+ pickups on my ?95 LoveRock. They were excellent quality. No squeals or humming. The tone was a bit too dark for me though. Should?ve needed...

Hello, I have Tokai ST-50 which I completely restored 1,5 years ago. Otherwise the guitar has been very good to play and sounds nice, except tuners. They?ve been starting to act lately. One of them resonates badly on certain notes and two of them has so much play on them that they don?t keep...

Just out of curiosity, I recall that my ?95 Love Rock LS-70: Has text SA-94 in the neck PUP cavity. I?ll verify this soon when I?ll replace the the neck pup (4th time!) again. I can take some pics of it too. Serial number 9502156 tells it?s been made ?95 anyway?? Btw, I just happen to play...

Here?s something you might find interesting, in case you haven?t read it already: http://www.dinosaurrockguitar.com/interviews/MrX.shtml Maybe here?s the reason why people say, get a Tokai, Don?t get a Tokai, get a Gibbo, don?t... and so on. I always try to get to play nice guitars that I see...

LondonBarry, thanks!! About the pickup: http://www.electrokraftpickups.com/ Guy named Tony makes custom handwound pickups for your request. Describe the tone and he?ll do it. I got also a set for my Squier Tele, with relatively high output and they are awesome. Highly recommended! Here?s the...

is now finished!! The result is very pleasing. Good rocking Goldstar sound is back. Lovely tone and stunning looks. Just as if I had a new guitar. Definitely worth every hour and Euro that I?ve spent. Shortly: Tokai ST-50, loaded with 2 Fender ?79 pickups and ElectroKraft custom at the...

Okay, I found those pics so here you go: EEWWWWW !!

I?m totally with you guys. It really ruins the idea of Les Paul! Why I asked. Well, the band i was in, some ten years ago. The other guitarist got Tokai Love Rock with Floyd and I hated that guitar. It felt okay to play. Very much like fretless wonder. Very low frets and low action. But it...

Anyone? What do you think of it? I don?t like to reveal my opinion before hearing you first...

Frankly, I don?t think so. I?ve been thinking about the same thing for a long time. I?ve played several different Love Rock?s (like, since ?89) and never seen one with slim taper. Always when I get change to try a new LS I do so. They?ve done few different neck shapes, but In my opinion, never...

Got the decal!! and closer: Looking good, eh? Btw, I went through few pics and two guitars checking the correct place for the decal and the position seem to vary a lot. So I attached it where it looked best to me. What do you think? Thanks to Trey, Martin and especially Nik for help!

Paul, Upgrading tuners and pickups will definitely give you more playable instrument. If you are for example gigging, new locking tuners will do wonders. But, if you mainly play at home or just occasionally jam with friends etc, then don?t do it. Just for the value of your instrument. The more...

Well, the most replaced part is pickguard. This one I know for sure that it doesn?t fit correctly. I had to fill the holes to get original Tokai pickguard to fit. Other measures I don?t know yet. But after I?ll get the accessories I?ll let you know if they will fit correctly to the Tokai...
