Hey there...
i'm new in this forum! I'm from germany and own a gibson lp studio and a tokai love rock mij. I bought the tokai last winter. But now i have big problems with it. It sounds very dull and it's not very nice to play on it. When i put new strings on it it sound immediately dull and quiet. Kind of lame. First i thought that the problem is the saddle b/c the bed/contact face seems very big and imprecise. This could be a problem for the dull and the sustain poor sound. It concerns mainly the not wrapped strings (g-h-e).
So i put the bridge from my gibson which is a duesenberg on the tokai and noticed a decided improvement. But it's not perfect. My Gibson sounds a lot more precise and clear. More attack and not a bit dull oder something.
So i think it's the bridge AND the saddle what is improper.
Now my question. Does or did anybody have the same or similar problem? Any suggestions?
Which material for the saddle and which bridge should i buy? Also faber kit? Which is the best or one of the best bridges for the tokai to get the clear and attackful sound i'm looking for? I hope you know what i mean.
Thanks and good bye
Dennis
