I bought this guitar from a forum member a while back, and boy what a disappointment. For a Japanese made guitar, it felt really cheap. The neck wasn't fat at all as the seller said it was. The pickups were microphonic and dull.
The nut was not cut well at all. The bridge saddle slots were not formed at all. The fret board inlay was so bad, it looked to be made in China on a bad day.
The only positive thing I can say about this guitar is the body looked good. That's fine if I want to hang it on my wall and look at it.
I have owned several guitars in the past 26 years. From high end to bargain basement. I couldn't get rid of this one fast enough. Literally. I lost my a** on resale.
I even took it to a dealer friend of mine that sold Tokais in the 80's, and he thought it was very lame as well.
The two Epi Les Paul's I had in the past smoked this dog. I plan on looking for another Epi. The moral is, you just can't buy guitars online. It's not worth the risk. Feel free to fire away. :lol:
