Yeah, wouldn't it be cool to have a big MIJ guitar show? I doubt Fender, Gibson and other companies would appreciate it, but hey, maybe that'll light a fire under their @sses to get some real well-made US guitars on the market at competitive prices with a vintage appeal.
I often wonder what kind of reception my collection would get with the reps of the other companies next to me. Kinda uncomfortable, I presume!
But just thinking ahead, wouldn't it be cool to get many of the collectors from this site and others together to show off these axes under one roof?
My God, it would create a hysteria - I get SO many emails to me at my site telling me about how the chatter is up about MIJ guitars - it's kind of funny, because to most of us, we've been in the know for a long time, especially Ned and some other guys here, but the MIJ thing is quite new still to most folks.
To see them all under one big roof, would be like an invasion!
Sure, you can write to me at my site at
[email protected] - this is still the only real forum I've found that people even really get into discussing MIJ guitars, not just Tokias.
Kinda funny also, I remember posting a new topic about the need of other MIJ info, not just Tokai, and Ned replied saying I should just start my own site, since his is dedicated to Tokais. Believe me, if I was more saavy with the computer, I definitely WOULD start a forum attached loosely to my site, so as not to force my own collection upon everyone.
But still, it's cool this registry has an "Others" section where people can talk about it, and by the looks of the views and questions, it's going to keep increasing in popularity.
