Hi, I have a Tokai LS160S which I bought about 10 years ago. It was the top of the line model at the time and has been my main guitar ever since. I would like to get me a second one which I can load with different pickups (Antiquities) and string it with 12s instead of 11s ... anyway ... It...

Hi, I am on the search for a nice vintage 60s style rosewood board strat. Which years and models are considered good ones, which are best avoided? THANKS!!!!

Hi, I am looking for a Tokai Tele, preferably vintage. I would prefer an alder body with rosewood board ... but a nice maple neck might be an option too. What are the models to look for, which ones are best avoided? thanks!

Hi, I'd like to get me a vintage Hard Puncher. I found two nice ones in great condition but can't decide. My options are: 1) early 80s PB50, candy apple red, rosewood fretboard, stamped steel tuners, "hard puncher" is written in small letters underneath the Tokai logo, 3.8 kilos, original hard...

it's gorgeous!!!

What were you impressions about that guitar? Why did you get rid of it so quickly?

Thanks for the heads up ... I wasn't aware of the narrow nut width.

Hi, I just bought my third Tokai Love Rock and think about replacing my Gibson ES-335 with a Tokai as well. I am interested in the ES160 (block inlay). Does anybody know what kind of neck profile they have? thanks!

I have never laid my hands on one but FWIW, here's what I think: price is determined by supply and demand ... since the demand for Les Pauls is higher the lower price for the Explorer should be explained. I own a '85 LS80 as well and it is so nice that I immediately sold my Gibson Custom Shop...

I am trying to decide ... is the extra cost worth it? In which way does the honduras mahagony of the LSS195 sound different that the indian mahagony of the LSS104? I don't worry too much about electronics/PUs since it can be upgraded. It's the wood, paint and workmanship that I am interested in...

Thanks a lot! That's exactly what I needed to know ...

Hi, Did Tokay make a LP Special (single cut, 2x P90, no maple top) giutar in the 80s. If yes, how did they name that model? thanks!

Hi, I am starting my search vor a nice tele. SInce my two favorite Les Pauls are Tokais I thought maybe I'll try my luck with a Tokai Tele too. Which models are considered good and which ones not so good? What I am looking for is a vintage style tele with a neck that's not too big. I am even...

Thanks a lot! I found that topic. That's all I needed to know. cheers!

Hi, just wondering ... when did Tokai start producing SG style guitars? thanks!

Thanks Peter ... that's interesting!

I changed the PUPs in my '80 LS80 as well but haven't found the right ones yet. I had a set of SD '59 but they were too dark. Now I have Classic 57s but they are a bit harsh. I think I'll try SD Antiquities next ...

hmm ... there are no nickel covers and they have adjustable pole pieces on both coils so the covers wouldn't even fit. I have googled a little and these pickups appear on other guitars as well. I think the guitar came this way.

Thanks!

Hi, Just out of curiosity ... what are the pickups that came in '80 LS80s? They are open coil zebras with adjustable pole pieces on both coils. Are those the original pickups anyway? They look exactly like the ones in the pic: I am not too crazy about the look of open coil pickups on a Les...
