    Tokai ES-60

    Hi there, Anders, doing business with you was a pleasure as well. Treat her nicely, I coaxed some nice blues tone out of this lady. She deserves to be treated nice. Who is VoxAC30tb? I must have missed something.... @Hamerfan: since I play around with the Volume pots a lot during a gig, I...

    Tokai ES-60

    Hi Anders, the ES60 is on its way to you. The pots are large body 500k pots (Rockinger) for the volume and small body for the tone. The switch is a gold plated version from Rockinger as well, with the cream switch tip. The output jack is a NOS Switchcraft. I hope you will enjoy the guitar...

    ES60 Test drive!

    I think Hans-J?rgen is quite right about what he says, but I can ramble on my experience a bit more: The Japanese Guitars (such as my two Love Rocks) come with top-notch hardware, yet I would always change the Volume pots (and have), since I do not like the taper of the factory pots. Given that...

    FS Tokai MIK ES-60 NT

    Salut Laurent! I have a case (brand-new) from a Candian maker (one of the upmarket high quality models) in brown leather. I think it cost me 120 Euro or so. I will check on that. No problem in selling the guitar to you with the original PUs, not the Crossroads. Shipping to France is no...

    ES60 Test drive!

    Hi there, so I had to get another Tokai :D This time I bought a nice blonde ES60 for a great price from a guy here in Germany over ebay. It had a small ding on the backside though. After the guitar arrived, I quickly took it to my guitar tech to have them make me a better nut (unbleached...

    Fillmores by David Barfuss for sale! And Gotoh PAF

    Hi Arthur, I am simply selling them, since I want a bit harder sound for my Love Rock. The band I am in started to cover some Humble Pie and I need some more biting sounds for these songs. The Fillmores are fantastic for Blues and R&B, but in MY Love Rock, they are not bright enough for MY...

    Fillmores by David Barfuss for sale! And Gotoh PAF

    Hi there, since I am about to switch to some other PUs for my Love Rock, I have the following Pickups for sale: David Barfuss "Fillmore" Set, Neck and Bridge PU. Wound to sound like Duane Allmans PUs used at the Fillmore concerts. Very nice balanced sound, Neck is powerful, yet not at all...

    MIJ Love Rock (2001) Tailpiece material??

    Hey guys, as far as new hardware goes, I guess you can hear the difference. But you have to know what to listen for. The guitar seems to "breath" a bit more. I installed some brass saddles on my Tele MIM classic a couple of months ago and this really helped the sound. More meat. I gues new...

    MIJ Love Rock (2001) Tailpiece material??

    Hi there, so I finally ordered a Gotoh Vintage style Alu Tailpiece from Stew-Mac. It arrived three days later and it is really light-weight. I removed the old Gotoh Tailpiece from my Love Rock and installed the new Alu-type. The sound is a bit warmer and sustain seems to be a tad longer...

    MIJ Love Rock (2001) Tailpiece material??

    Hi Paladin2019, thanks for your answer. I guess I will order the Gotoh aluminium Tailpiece from StewMac then. I am awaiting the arrival of some brass saddles for the Tune-o-matic and am curious as to what a difference in sound it will make. The best improvement yet was a new bone-nut from a...

    Fillmore PAF by David Barfuss (UPDATE! Pic)

    Hi gang, I was unhappy with the Gotoh PAFs in my Love Rock, so I contacted a guy named David Barfuss and asked if he could wind me a Fillmore Neck-PAF. David is an "underground" winder from Germany who does P90s, Strat-Sets and Tele-PUs. A couple of months ago, I bought a Fender MIM Tele...

    MIJ Love Rock (2001) Tailpiece material??

    Hi there, I think about upgrading the Stop-Tailpiece on my 2001 MIJ Love Rock with the Gotoh Aluminium Vintage one. Does anybody know, if the Stop-Tailpiece that is installed in the factory is steel or aluminium?? Any insight is highly appreciated. Cheers, Dominik

    Love Rock Limited Edition 2001

    Hi there, first off: I finally got back my Love Rock (with the misplaced tune-o-matic) from the luthier and it is a monster guitar. Sounds great!!!! I might swap the neck PU though against one made by David Barfuss. There is another little thing that the luthier saw on this guitar, which I...

    Intonation riddle solved and a "Buyer Beware"

    Hi gang! I recently posted a message about my newly bought Tokai LS-75 (2001) which I bought from a shop here in Germany (www.realguitars.de). The guitar was hardly tuneable, intonation was impossible to set, since even with all saddles maxed to the PU side, three strings were still flat. So...

    Intonation Problem with LS75 Love Rock

    Hi Scott, thanks for your reply. I have thought about swapping around the saddles of the offending strings, but have yet to figure out how. :roll: :oops: :roll: The guitar came with 10s, but I guess the nut was cut for 9s, since the D-string is not correctly going through the nut. I might...

    Intonation Problem with LS75 Love Rock

    Hi there, I am a newbie Tokai owner and recently bought a LS-75 Love Rock. The guitar arrived today and I was quite happy with the sound of it, but witnessed some intonation problems. I then tried to set intonation but failed completely. This is not my first guitar, albeit my first Les Paul...
