    Tokai Prices Getting a little aggravating. Come on People.

    Ian sorry I miss read when I replied, I thought you were talking about the whole guitar being one piece of wood. (Including the neck) The reason that the les paul has a maple cap is because mahogany alone is very dark which some peopl dig. (Bob Marley comes to mind) Vapor boy...

    I have seen guitars made out of one piece of wood from Alembic and a couple other high end Guitar manufacturers. BUT.... The original 57 through 60 Les Paul is the most sought after solid body Electric guitar because It was the magic combination of woods, Electronics, Desighn finish etc...

    I hear ya love rocker, but an es 335 is DESIGHNED to have a solid block running down the middle and the sides act as resonance cavities. You may consider an archtop an acoustic, but most accomplished Jazz musicians don't. Have you ever even seen someone performing on one without a pickup...

    Lets talk Pickups all you seth lover lovers.

    Also, I fixed some other wise gret sounding pickups which squeeled by heating a can on the stove, melting down parrafin wax, and dipping the pickup until most of the air bubbles come out of the them. I heard you can destroy the pickup, if you do , replace it. Don't play with squeeling pickups!

    I have a hard time believing that a whole extra layer of glue that a laminate nesescatates won't effect the tone of a guitar. I have owned 5 different Lawsuite Jazz boxes which were Laminate and my carved tops put them all to shame in natural brightness and richness of tone. Before I...
