Dear All,
i am new in the world of Tokais, and i haven't come to a conclusion, yet.
Everytime we talk about guitars we have to know why and what purpose we buy it for.
If i was a professional musician, i would like to have a Gibson SG 61 reissue, or a Les Paul 60's Custom Shop.
But then comes Tokai and Epiphone, in Japan, they both sport the Gibson headstock. Some of you say, Tokai is better, some say Epiphone is the same.
So what guitar should we buy???? it's all aboutour budget, but we all want an "excellent" guitar for a decent price.
So????
I do not want to criticize anything........but, could you tell me, if a guitar is made of mahogany, and it comes from the same country, why one has to be $3000 and the same with a different name $400???? Are we stupid, or there is more????
I know, change pickups, change pots, change tuners, this and that, poli, nitro...............but after all, what is the most important thing????
The player, of course.
So guys, if we buy a Tokai, a Greco, Ibanez, Epiphone, would we be considered cheap???? or we are proud of showing a name that is not only a big dollar market seller????
I would like to know what you think,
with respect,
