According to the list of serials, a V serial number should be MIJ, not CIJ, and made by Fujigen. But my alder bodied sunburst Jazzmaster says CIJ. Anyone know what factory it was made in? Or if there's a way to tell? It seems like it could be made by Fujigen, Tokai, or Daita I'd really...

Why the rounded end? The Chinese FV has the original pointy headstock. What's up with the MIJ? Do they really ship like that today - with the rounded off headstock? Am I missing something completely?

For a start, I've realised that not all bells are created equal. I bought a cheapy and, guess what? It's really cheap. I bought it as a blank replacement for the "Deluxe" TRC on my Gibson but the Gibson one was so much higher quality I couldn't even think about it. When I got the Tokai, I...

Don't know if this is the right place to ask, but it seemed better than, "Tokai Basses." :-? I don't yet own a bass, and my first one will definitely be a Fender Jazz style bass. But I'm getting more and more tempted by the Greco copies of the Gibson EB3. I like the idea of this style of...

A guy here is selling this: Terrible pics. I can see a 2-piece light back and a bell truss-rod cover. I'm not too clued up on burnys I'm afraid. He's talking about Burnys being made by Tokai, but that was only very early ones right? The truss-rod cover might be right for that, but...

I posted a pic of my guitar on the Flickr group, "Tokai Guitars." This is a very sadly neglected group. The guy who started it didn't even know that Tokai was still making guitars and the amount of discussion is zero. Just wondered if anyone else on the forum spent any time on flickr. If you...

Got my LS150. Organised for me by Diamond. After all the talk, all the reading, all the hype, it still exceeded expectations. The shop guy playing it when I walked in looked shattered. "This is the best Les Paul I've ever played," he said. It has that airy, acoustic sound like Peter Green...

Says it's an '81 LC110. Does that sound right? What a stroke of luck: http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2F19670620.at.webry.info%2F200807%2Farticle_19.html&sl=ja&tl=en

Does anyone know a good source of information on Yamaha Pacificas - history, model lists, etc.? Or catalogue sources? I just updated the wikipedia article, but can't find too much information. Any help would be appreciated. I've got a MIJ Pacifica 904 which I love. I thought it would be...

Newbie here from South Africa. I don't yet own a Tokai, but i sure intend to. I like Bigsby's for the look, sound, and I'm not worried about the tuning issues. I want a black humbucker LS85 with Bigsby to compliment my black p-90 Gibson Les Paul. Have I got it right that it's possible to...
