    Graphtech saddles for Love Rock LP

    :D Hey Alan! Didn't want to repond directly just in case you needed some online space. I can tell you that I miss you on the TLSE site plenty. It is the Nashville type (longer intonation screw travel) and I kept original. As mentioned, I had received the wrong size twice and gave Graphtech...

    Graphtech saddles for Love Rock LP

    Wow! Graphtech saddles are the best. I have them on 3 of my guitars...none on my Tokais. I sent them the bridge from my Epi Dot and they loaded it up for no charge after getting the wrong size from 2 suppliers. Great product...Great company! Chico 8)

    What Amps are You guys with the TOKAI's

    Yes they both are. I had to relic the '95 to look as bad as the '93. Both are amber laquerd to give that "vintage" vibe. I play in stereo and use the amps as monitors only. FOH does all the room work. For the $650.00 USC or less new, these amps are not too shabby. I've seen them used on...

    Import taxes from Japan...what do they run?

    From Hisashi: $649.00 US for the Snow White SG-75 (worth every penny) $120.00 US for shipping from Japan (best packing and fastest shipping I've ever experienced...worth it!) $84.80 US for customs/import tax (a newly realized fact of life...may or may not affect you) I'm in my 39th year of...

    Help needed to perform setup

    Loosening the trussrod will give the neck relief therefore eliminating string buzz if the bridge is set correctly. I recently worked on a Guild guitar that the trussrod was compleatly loose and could have used a touch more relief. I CAREFULLY applied pressure to the front of the neck with...

    Import taxes from Japan...what do they run?

    I would have replied to your other post. Holidays and gigs take up time. I paid $84.80 US for 1 guitar to Waukegan, Il. Does it double for 2?? I'll let the experts here answer that. Chico 8)

    Quality of the 2007 MIJ Tokai SG-75?

    How can I resist? I just purchased a white SG-75 from ebay vendor Hisashi. I am delighted with the quality. The SG has moved up to #3 most frequently played in my collection. It's really sweet! I tried out 6 different Gibson '61 reissues and could not find an instant bond or vibe that...

    Sharing Is Caring!

    Like the French with your wine and cuisine (not to mention beautiful women), we Americans are also deep with tradition and icons. Harley is just that. I will say that if I didn't have a Harley, I'd have 20 or so Nice Tokais. Chico 8)

    Sharing Is Caring!

    There is something quite funky about my Robin Ranger. As most of you know, the first mass produced Robins where made by Tokai. These Robin models had gold w/black Robin logo on the headstock (please someone correct me if I'm wrong). Some of these Tokai Robins still appear on ebay from time to...
