Skydog, Thanks for your constructive comments, I think we've already established that I was being picky. I bought the Tokai because that was what I wanted and I was merely trying to establish if my guitar finish was similar to other Tokais at this price point - mission accomplished

Diamond, are you trying to trick me there :wink: I'm guessing you're expecting me to say it didn't need a set up (it didn't) But I know exactly what he'd say 'Nice guitar but finishing is sloppy' admittedly he has very high standards but he has been building guitars from scratch since the...

Once again, thanks for bothering to reply - if anything your words have reassured me that what I have is quite normal. It plays well so thats the main thing

Cheers for the feedback and your right I probably am being picky, the bit about the headstock is that the binding doesn't follow the profile of the headstock wood it drops down below by about 1mm in the middle. Take your point about Gibsons but to be honest that was one of the reasons (apart...

Headstock profile, darker area in the centre is where the binding dips below the headstock Control Cavity Overspray all around, and a number of rough, raised areas Neck Overspray? There are quite a few other areas but almost impossible to illusteate on a white guitar Thanks for your...

Hi all, Before I get horribly burned in the Tokai flames I would just like to thank all on the Forum who assisted me and pointed me in the right direction for the purchase of my first Tokai. The guitar plays beautifully but I was slightly disappointed with the finish on certain parts of...

Thanks once again Jacco, is there any possibility that the guitar could be anything other than an LC53?

No serial number, very honest bloke seemingly, said he copied the specs from a similar guitar on EBAY which he believed to be the same. Set neck, he did say the guitar was very heavy tho which kind of goes against the basswood a little

I thought that as well, Ive just asked him to confirm a few things but I'm glad you were able to point me in the right direction

Thanks very much, is it worth a punt for that price?

Thanks, There is a photo up of the made in korea writing now

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200612375557&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Hi all messaged this guy and he is unsure of the model number but thinks it could be an LC75 or 85 and is stamped made in Korea. Grateful of anything else you can offer as am interested in buying Thanks...

bump still looking

Hi, Would be interested, price would be dependent on the individual guitar, I'm not sure what a second hand lefty would be worth. But you're right about the shipping plus another ?150 or so import tax would probably make it too expensive to consider. Regards Gary

Hi, Based in uk looking for a lefty 335 style must be Made in Japan 135, 145 etc

Thanks Diamond, I've already realised I'm going to be waiting up to 5 months for a lefty however I am happy to do this given the right guitar. I'm looking at the 135, am I right in assuming that the 145, 155 etc are the same guitar but with flamed maple cap etc Regards Gary

Hi all, my first post and straight away I'm on the beg. I'm a Lefty and have spent the last couple of months looking at options for a 335 Style guitar ranging from the entry level Epis, Aria etc right through to Heritage and Gibson. I'll just point out at this stage Gibson are probably beyond my...
