Saw someone here earlier who wanted pictures of a matte LS80 or -85. I think another member posted some photos of a very nice matte cherry sunburst LS80, but since there aren't that many pictures around of satin Tokais around I thought I'd add some pictures of Matte Violin Finish (MVF) . It's...

Does anyone know of good LP Custom replicas with a maple neck? I would prefer a used Japanese-made model, but if anyone knows of any good (Korean or other) copies I'd like to hear it as well. I'm thinking of doing a Zakk Wylde-like guitar (without the paint job), but pretty much all affordable...

Last Friday I sent the stock Gotoh bridge pickup from my 03 LS80 to WolfeTone pickups to be rewound, because I really didn't like it after using Timbuckers for a while. The fate of the Gotoh neck pickup is still up in the air, since I use it less often and it sounds passable to my ear. Anyway...

I finally got the EBMM Axis that I bought from a guy in New York a few days ago, after Customs deemed it necessary to take nearly two weeks clearing it. I haven't spent that much time with it yet, but it seems to be a very nice guitar: great looking, very nice sounding, and a fantastic player. I...

Can anyone read what the above picture says about the PAF Vintage Mk2? Does it specify what kind of magnet is used in it? Thanks!

Figured that since there's been no activity in almost a week, I might as well open a new thread to try and start things going again ;) As some of you may remember, I had a wonderful pair of Tim White "Timbucker" PAF-replicas in my 2003 LS80F. They were absolutely incredible, but I'm a mere...

Well, as far as I know Tokai Japan doesn't produce any Fender-copies anymore, the only available models being made in Korea. However, I'm pretty sure I read here a while ago that Tokai had secured a deal with Fender to start making the Fender Japan guitars. Can anyone confirm this? As far as I...

I need two new pickup rings for my 2003 LS80F, but I didn't know whether I needed rings with a flat or a curved bottom surface. Having taken the originals off, the weird thing is that one side of the ring seems curved, whereas the other is flat. To illustrate: if I take the ring for the neck...

Check this eBay auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2384&item=3718010873&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW This is for a Tokai replica of Eddie Van Halen's striped Frankenstrat. Never knew Tokai made those as well :)

I just spotted this auction (link) on eBay, which is for a supposedly Made in Japan PRS copy. Now I know Tokai has some Korean PRS models in the $500 range that are supposedly really nice, and there are also two MIJ models (LR30 and LR40) that cost over $2000. The interesting thing is that this...

As some of you may know, I have a rather nice 2003 LS-80F in Matte Violin Finish - which is a very thin satin-like finish. After playing it for a while, the neck as slowly become less and less matte and is slowly but (pretty) surely becoming glossy. Now maybe sometime in the future I'd want to...

Hi, I just received a 2003 LS80F that I bought on eBay, which has a 'satin'finish. I didn't really realize this when I bought it (figured it was just the pictures :D) but it turns out that the neck is also finished in 'satin' which makes it a lot smoother to play in my opinion than full glossy...
