I'd like some help with clarifying an acoustic that has been on ebay for over a year when I joked that if it was still for sale when I graduated I may consider it.... 8) It's a 2003/4 model supposidly. The guy does not have any documentation or receipts. The sticker in the soundhole says...

Hello, A long time ago I picked up an old, unknown telecaster body. It has a three piece body with relatively pleasant grain. I've sanded it down and now I have a few questions/dilemmas. Pics: 1. What kind of pickup combination should I go for? The standard Tele with two singles? Or is...

When I asked my friend as to why it's fallen into such a state, he mentioned that there supposedly used to be a Scottish Law which taxed buildings ONLY if they had roofs. Therefore, some owners might've removed the roofs, or simply allowed them to get destroyed over the years in order to avoid...

I've witnessed many gorgeous Les Pauls that belong to the members of this forum, however do any of yous have high-end Tokai SGs, Explorers, Flying Vs or even Firebirds? I would be intrigued to see what these look like. I did see one German dealer sell a bunch of FV180s. Sadly, I couldn't...

Has anyone here got insurance for their instruments or do you not bother? I just had a thought that it would be quite nice to insure them... just in case anyone decided to break in for some reason when we're away. L

Hello, got this guy with Gibson 498T and 490R. Once again, had it not been for the looks, you'd struggle to tell it apart... :) If I understand correctly this is a 2008 Korean model. However could anyone help me out with the model number? 5 sec sound clip recorded with my phone...

Ho, I'm trying to figure out a model that carries an 02056... serial number. I presume that is a 2002 model, but I am struggling to find a catalog for that year or should I be looking at year 2000 catalog? L

Ho, myself and my partner are planning a trip to Chicago towards the end of the summer where we will be couchsurfing. Part of it is to see the architecture, and the other part is to visit some awesome blues venues and see some of the local artists. I am still hopeful that some artist I'm keen...

A while ago I bought some hercules wall hangers and I've been meaning to install them. I've got a dry wall and although I could seek out the studs behind it, the spacing that I wish to have for the guitars would probably not work. Those that have done something similar, what kind of wall plugs...

Hey, out and about a dodgy town and came across this thing... Took a few photos in case anyone is able to recognize what it is. Seems quite nice but I'm clueless about acoustics. Two piece back from what I see. Made in japan logo on the headstock, no sticker inside the body to say who made it.

*Drum roll*... :) I noticed an advert yesterday morning for an UES60 with Bareknuckle Mules + hardcase and just couldn't resist. Guy was selling quickly and so I got a very good deal for the lot. The guitar's in mint condition... other than a hairline crack along the neck/body joint. Not sure...

Hey there, How do Tokai acoustics compare with the competition? I understand where Tokai (electrics) stand in relation to Gibsons and such, and clearly you get a lot for what you pay, but are their acoustics the same? Gibsons being somewhat overpriced, I imagine aren't difficult to beat in...

Having read through some threads of people trying to authenticate older models it got me thinking... Are there any advantages to the way Tokai number their guitars (whether serials or model numbers) at all? Although I see the thinking behind the model numbering in that the number is equal to...

Hey there, I recently got myself an explorer and I seem to be enjoying it more than the LP, so I wanted to ask for your help in clarifying its spec/model before it goes for sale. A fellow forum member mentioned that the model number should normally be written in the pickup cavity. However...

Not sure if any of yous are into this kind of stuff but I've got a pickup from an American Standard Stratocaster for sale. Single, bridge position. I only owned the guitar briefly and it was already non functional at the point of purchase. The previous owner said he bought it in 2007 from a...

Hello, as cool as zebras or any other open pickups look, does all the crap that ends up collecting around the edges not bother you? I've had a guitar in the past with open coils and it annoyed me. As I am awaiting a new addition to the family, which contains zebras I am thinking if there is a...

Hey guys.... I am kind of considering this one... 2nd time in the space of a year have I seen it go on auction (as usually they're on buy it now at ?1600 mark and last auction went for about ?1050). So I am tempted...

Sweet looking guitar, I lack the knowledge to tell whether it's correctly described or not: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tokai-61-SG-1985-Made-in-Japan-plus-hard-case-MIJ-/231252461960?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item35d7b88988 I've noticed it's quite common on eBay to miss out the...

Hello all, I've recently purchased a Tokai and it came without pre-drilled holes for a pickguard, but a spare pickguard was included. Personally I have always liked LPs with pickguards, and although in this instance it looks good even without it I think I would like to attach it. Normally I...
