Boris59 · Feb 17, 2009

Hi everyone 8)

I'm a french guy ( scuse for my bad english )

I going to buy a SG 85 by tokai .

Not a new, but like a new . And a really good price in france .

But i just want to know, can we compare this guitar with the gibson sg standard? not about the sound and the humbrucker, but about the quality of wood , neck etc ( sorry I d'ont have the words but i'm sure you'll understand

)

for the sound , i've got my angus young humbrucker 8)

thanks a lot for you're help

Hi Boris!

Yes, the quality of the Tokai will be up there with a Gibson! the only difference will be you'll still have some money left over for a new pair of shorts!

you're sure ? This tokai will be better than a real gibson sg standard ?

It's incredible, because of the price ! ( 700euros for this tokai , 1200 for a new gibson )

Tokai is as incredible as that ?

Hi Boris, John means it will be as good as a Gibson but not necessarily better. Although it could be!

Very nice!!!

Boris, you should really go and try a Tokai and compare it to a Gibson, I did exactly that a few months ago with a brand new Les Paul Standard and a Tokai LS85F, one or two cosmetic areas where the Gibson was 'better' such as Fret Binding, but in terms of sounds, feel and playability I definetely thought the Tokai was the better guitar. Not 'as good' but better!

The Gibson is only a better value if it comes with this custom guitar stand:
