    Tokai HLS-420 Any other owners out there?

    I bought this guitar last year and could not bring it home. Any way I finally got it back from Japan and it's everything I remember. I picked it as it was the least flamed of the bunch :) From straight on it sometimes looks like a flattop. But from the side the flame is evident. Changes: I...

    Tokai Love rock loves my superlead for recording : )

    I keep going back and forth. I really like the Super100JH too, but it's sort of muddy? compared to the SL... I recorded a new track, live in the basement called Lucy's Lament with my Tokai Love Rock (Seth Lovers) and my 71 superlead. No pedals... it's here http://www.myspace.com/joewgorman

    Headstock angle

    I tried searching but the search engine returned a bunch of stuff that I wasn't after. I already apologize as I am sure it's been asked a bunch. But, we all gravitate toward Tokai because of their consistently high quality, attention to detail and we probably all know the story of Billy...

    3 days in the studio with my LS Custom and 2 Marshall Amps.

    And this is all I have to show for it?! I just posted a new tune called The Incantation. One rythym track is a Gibbie R6 but the other backing track and ALL the leads/spice etc is my LS Custom Tokai with SD Seth Lovers. Man I love that vibe....it's just so juicy It's here...

    Why aren't you bothered that it doesn't say GIBSON?

    Ok, probably not an issue if you're on this forum right! :D But I have buddies that just have to have that Gibson or Fender name on the headstock. All my Nihonjin buddies wouldn't take a Navigator or a Tokai or a Greco if you gave it to them! And that's cool, I can't fault them for that. I'm...

    an LS Custom straight into 4 classic Marshall Heads

    Ok, I applied a little more thought, time and effort to my recording setup....one takes on the guitar tracks though : ) I got the e609 right in the center of the cone on a Marshall VM cab about 3" off, and I stood a AT4047 off just at the point I heard the dreaded phase issue raise it's head...

    Sick Again on the LS Custom Hisashi-san sold me : )

    Me and Bozu are gonna work up every tune on Physical Graffiti! Well, ok, not every tune.... But covering Zep tunes does give me cause to play with multi-tap stereo delays and my Maxon PH350 phaser set to stun! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br6pUl18QGg

    My Tokai LS Custom and a Marshall Stack

    I like the Seth Lovers....I bought this from Hisashi in March and picked it up in April. This hall sucked acoustically.....but I like the sound of the guitar once I goosed it for the lead! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-htKT4OUos And I think everybody came to see my kid's band! ...

    It occured to me today I'd not recorded this new guy! So anyway if you go here: http://www.purevolume.com/joewgorman and click on the song called Tokai Love Rock LS135/2203 Marshall you can hear me butcher and hack my way through part 2 of the heartbreaker lead and a bastardized version of the...

    Any of you guys lived happily ever after with the PAF MKIIs?

    When I got back from Japan I, understandibly I hope, couldn't wait to plug my new LS-135 into a Marshall (JCM800 2203) and let her rip. I liked the clarity of the stock pup, but I noticed that the bridge would squeal at volume. Well, I had a Gibbie 57 classic handy and put that in. I noticed...

    Back from Japan with a LS135 and a bunch of other cool stuff

    Hey guys, I just got back from Japan. I had the intent to buy an LS380 but I could not find a new one. The very first tokai I picked up was a VF LS135. It played great, sounded great etc. I went to four more shops, played a bunch of other guitars (tokais/edwards) but couldn't get it out of my...
