They use GHS Boomers, at least they used those strings a few years ago. 9-42 on Fender style and 10-46 on Gibson style guitars

A few years ago I got some of the made in japan Tokai guitars without serial numbers from the factory. Japanese do not always pay attention to it. Now they add certifications to each guitar, but do not always enter serial numbers on them. So I think that the absence of a serial number does not...

Many of Norlin era Gibson Les Pauls are made with maple neck. Gibson Zakk Wylde signature LP come with maple neck (and maple fingerboard). Mahogany + Maple combo is o.k. Usually most of the Les Pauls bodies are made with maple top and mahogany back. I did not hear about the current Tokai ALS...

Tokai ALS60L must have African Mahogany body. Regarding the ALS55L I'm not sure, but most ALS guitars made since middle of 2013 come with mahogany body. You have to check the serial number. 2013 is transitional year for body wood on ALS/ALC guitars and this can vary depending on the dealer and...

The type of body wood was changed 3 years ago. Tokai use African mahogany for bodies in to ALS/ALC Traditional series guitars. The necks are made from hard maple. Recently they began to produce cheaper guitars, These guitars are also made in China, but in another factory. The new series is...

Tokai new catalog Vol.29 was released today http://www.theguitarshop.jp/catalogue/catalogue-html/catalogue-page.html

The name of ULS150/LS150 with AAA grade maple top isn't based on manufacturer suggested retail price in Japanese yen. Actually it's version of LS150/LS160/LS173 but with solid flamed maple cap. They made it for export only (mostly). Also they currently made one regular Tokai with a solid flamed...

Tokai stopped using Gotoh humbackers some years ago. They changed them to Keyo, but as far as I know - Keiyo company no longer exists. I have info that the former employees of Keiyo continue to produce pickups for Tokai company. Japanese companies usually rarely share such information and that...

The question is what is the true LP? Norlin era guitars with pancace body and maple neck was not true Les Pauls? There are many people who would disagree. Gibson The Paul was manufactured from walnut, and some of the first Gibson Les Paul Studio guitars was made with alder body. Listen to how...

No, you can't. According to serial number it's made in 2013 and that's all. Tokai does not give such info for guitars which are manufactured in China. In any case, this is a great guitar. Even if it's with basswood body. It has a sycamore top. Sycamore is basically maple...

From summer 2013 they made ALS guitars from African mahogany (African mahogany back, hard maple necks). But it can be transitional model from basswood. Or made until mid 2013.

First of all I suspect that it's UALS series guitar, not ALS. UALS series guitars are manufactured for the UK market and has modified headstock design. Second - Tokai very flexible company and every major distributor or dealer can order guitars with their specifications, including colors.

Even LS260 come without fret ends binding. Fret nibs is on LS420 and LS540 only.

Tokai guitars produces some strats with original fender style headstock for domestic market. Most dealers outside of Japan can not sell them because of copyright issues with Fender. Those guitars are known as TST50 Goldstar sound. Body is from 2 or 3 piece swamp ash, neck is '60 style with...

The seller is me. :)

"But I can't try Tokai before buying. ". Yes, you can.

togps is very honest and nice person. If you want to get 1981 LS120 in mint condition - you will have to pay much more. Or buy a new guitar.

I can agree with that, but here is some examples from my stock: LS75 from 2011 in Black much like you said 22.9mm at 1st fret including fret height. 25.50mm at 12th fret including fret height LS75 from 2012 Goldtop 25.00mm at 1st fret including fret height. 27.50mm at 12th fret including fret...
