    Just ask Chuck. Berry, of course! He threw his rir in the trunk of his Coupe DeVille and drove it to every gig. Frozen in the trunk to in front of the spotlight. Repeat evry night for 200 consecutive nights. We may be over thinking. I remember traveling to Michigan weather gigs at 10* and...

    Fattest necked Tokai LP now & in past?

    chicks only, sans clothes. Glad you got it. Actually, by fat I mean the thickness of the neck and its profile. Like D-shaped. Not fret board width. Although a wide neck is good too and adds to the mass. Do they make double D's

    I had a friend that used to freeze-flash thaw his Gibson LP's and F Strats (repeat until desired effect is achieved). He claimed that slowly the finish would craze like an old LP that was drug from club to club in a freezing car trunk in the Chicaga winter. He swore it worked but needed many...

    Help me ID this Tokai

    I've seen similar asian lp's from the mid-late 70"s. I'm thinking early Korean or very cheap MIJ. NO China back then. The pickups, knobs, and probably tuners look non-original. Does it have a veneered arched plywood top thats hollow underneath? Tap on it. I've seen this on cheap mid-70's...

    Does Tokai have a Custom Shop?

    Is it possible for an individual to special order (at a reasonable price) say a unbound plaintop fat 58 neck lp with abalone neck inlays, premium wood, pickups of choice, etc.? Anyone ever special ordr a Tokai or Bacchus? Would Tokai make me a 58 Futura model like Bacchus does?
