    Identification Help - Tokai Strat

    Back in May 2003 I purchased a Tokai Goldstar Strat from Songbird Music in Toronto before they closed their doors. It was labelled as a "Made in Japan" 57 Reissue. However it doesn't have any markings to identify it. No serial number, no model number. I haven't taken it apart because I dont...

    Fake Love Rock?

    I was reading the earlier posting about the Chinese 335 Dillion/Tokai. I decided to look at my Tokai Love Rock I bought last year....and there is no serial number to be seen on it ...and it does not have a Made in Korea or Made in Japan stamp. Did I get myself a fake? I think I bought a ****...

    Cheap Mahogany 355 Copies

    I've noticed three ebayers in Canada all have cheap Mahogony 355 copies on ebay at the same time. I think two are from the same dealer using different names but I could be wrong. Does anyone know anything about these guitars and why they are so cheap - around $200 Canadian?

    Trying to Identify a Tokai Strat

    About 2 years ago I bought a strat copy at SongBird Music in Toronto - they specialize in used guitars. They had the guitar labelled as a made in Japan Tokai. At the time they had three of them. I picked up a sunburst model. Since then I've been looking at it and the only thing on this...

    Did I get taken?

    Not sure why I didn't look into this more closely a year ago....but last May I purchased a Tokai Goldstar Strat from Songbird Music in Toronto. They had it listed as a Japanese Made Strat...and it was one of three being sold for $579 Canadian, regularly sold at over $800. If any of you are...

    Godin Exit 22

    Just picked one of these up - brand new and only paid $349.99 Canadian...which I think is a steal. Came with a very nice gig bag - much nicer than ones I've paid decent coin for, so for 349.99, I was very impressed. Now the better news...this guitar kicks some serious butt. Awesome sound and...

    Tokai and Dillion - are they the same guitars?

    I was just surfing around on ebay and stumbled upon the following Dillion 355 copy: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2368689490&category=2384 It blew me away because it is almost identical to a Tokai ES-60 that I purchased on ebay earlier in the year. This is the one I...

    Are Tokai's that much better than an Epiphone

    OK...I own a Tokai strat copy and am now looking at a new 335 copy. However the pricing of the Tokai's are getting outrageous, and unfortunately I am starting to look at getting an Epiphone.

    Anyone tried Dillion guitars?

    I recently bought a Dillion DLP675 from a Canadian dealer. This model is not sold in the U.S. and according to the seller is of a better quality than those sold on the Dillion website based in the U.S. From what I know, they are built in Korea and have a great reputation. My guitar teacher...

    Why do some ebayers not sell to Indonesians?

    I've noticed on some guitar auctions on ebay that the sellers explicitly say that they will not sell to anyone from Indonesia. Not that I live there or care to, but I was wondering why there is an aversion to Indonesian buyers. Do they have a bad reputation? just wondering.....

    Does Tokai still make a decent Strat copy?

    Hello, I am brand new to the forum, and its my first posting ! I have read a fair bit about Tokai guitars, but was wondering if Tokai continues to make a replica/copy of the Fender Stratocaster. Thanks for any information.
