    I finally became a very unhappy Tokai owner.

    Youre taking off pickups just to look for flaws! Sell the guitar, you're never going to be happy with it. To my eye, thats a mahogany body with a maple cap. There looks to be paint on some of the maple within the cavity, but not on other parts so it just happens to look like a second layer. Il...

    Identifying a 2010 uk tokai thats not in the catalog

    https://www.livingmusicstores.com/products/tokai-vintage-series-ls129-cs-plain-top-lp-style-electric-guitar-cherry-sunburst This is the exact finish, but this guitar is 2020 where mine is 2010 so I'm guessing the model will be different and why some other specs differ.

    Identifying a 2010 uk tokai thats not in the catalog

    The pots may not be original. The first owner did require it, something about not liking logarithmic pots on the volume but wanting them in tone, or vice versa. He said he did not replace the pots though so I have to take him at his word. The bridge and saddles are original.

    Does changing pickups lower the value of a tokai?

    I have an LS135 with the UK headstock. its a lovely guitar but the pickups and/or pots are are not the best. when turning the tone pot below 5 everything starts to muddy up and becomes awful by 3. They dont compare to the Gibson LP Standard 50's(2019) , which is still very usable down at 2 or 3...

    looking to buy a Tokai Les Paul but need help

    il vote for the 2009 tokai LS160. Its not 100% accurate to an R9/R9, but im sure its 95% there. only differences are things purists would care about ( binding over edge of frets ). While looking for an LP i tried a LOT of guitars. firstly I tried the "original" thing, the LP standard. Played 5...

    Pickups still microphonic in LS160 despite being potted

    I got a 2009 Tokai LS 160. Awesome guitar, great fit and finish, but at higher gains it was going microphonic. I brought it in to have pickups repotted, by a very very very reputable luthier in the area, so i am not questioning if he did the job or not. But when practicing a few days ago...
