When you compare the price difference ... The SE i think will surprise you .. sure the top doesn't have that nice round finish and all those other high end features .. close your eyes and listen and the difference $$$ and feel will be minimal ..

Funny you should mention a PRS SE ... I bought one the minute they came out this time last year ... I have the 25th anni custom 24 .. A real beautiful guitar .. It was a toss up between the ESP or the PRS for me also .. both really nice and i was leaning towards the ESP because of the floyd...

Well said ...I totally agree .... It's just a matter of how decent the offshore MIK Tokais or Fakais are for the $$$ either way both are better then EPI's for the money ... As for Gibsons and Fenders just as you said .. they bang out thousands of untis a month ...certainly not what they used...

I stand corrected .... :oops:

Thanks ... 8)

Hey isn't that Paladin2019 in that little Russian car with his old lady ? Sure looks like it to me ... His authentic Tokai must be in the trunk :P

Your objective was to provide some insight on the Canadian circumstance...to who, us? Did you consider that some of us actually speak to the President of Tokai, we are the insight, you didn't need to provide anything, you just needed to ask. :) When you asked, "what the hell are they?" We...

OH... now the wood thing was confirmed yet you argued the point at nasium .. Your responses and critque are circular and without any merit ... READ my prior threads as this was confirmed not only as you now admit here, but also as i had mentioned thru very legitimate independant music stores in...

Why are you so skeptical ? Do you own one ? Have you actually seen one or compared ? The Canadian distributor had them spec'd this way (anyone in Toronto who dealt with him / them know this as being fact) If you know anything about wood you would be able to clearly tell if you ever saw one that...

I agree my objective all along was to provide some insight on the Cdn circumstance as many have these mainly LP's bearing the Tokai name and eventually when discoved they aren't exactly an authorized Tokai as my question was :cry: - Well.. What the hell are they ? ... and this site provided me...

I have... as the authorized MIK's were readily available here for awhile until the stock ran out and the dealer went direct.. My friend still has one ... nothing wrong with it just crappier wood and the necks arent 1/4 sawn and as i have mentioned the tops don't appear to be matched as nicely on...

No a Vox AD100VT .. I also use a 1966 Fender Princeton Reverb a Roland micro cube and a Pod XT run thru a Berringher keyboard amp. I have small kids and mainly only get to play at nights so for the most part i am a night owl playing with head phones thru my Pod ... Except when no one is...

They really are better than the real Tokai MIK versions ... Many on this site clearly have stated this.They are better mainly due to the wood and the 1/4 sawn necks and the Canadian sunburst ones i have seen appear to have been book matched tops or atleast appear to be better matched than the...

Is that what you're saying? Bizarre not really happens all the time in business, YES that's how it went down ..Why would the Cdn Dist "Mel" was his name change the name ? He had the rights to the Tokai name and a distribution network and demand - obviously if he changed the name this would...

Big Mike hit the nail on the head !! Although a Faki - it was built direct for the Canadian market in the same factory as the genuine mik Tokai just to better spec's and with Canadian wood not the crap wood Tokai was using on their MIK versions and 1/4 sawn hard rock maple necks .. .. Overall a...

Ok ... Talk is cheap so i have posted a link to my four Les Pauls , My Black Beauty EPI , My 2007 Gibson Standard and My 2005 Canadian Tokai/Fakai Goldtop and my 2004 Cdn Tokai / Fakai Zakk Wylde ... I can honestly say owning the best of all worlds the Gibson sounds the best , The Zakk Plays and...
