Hello,
I'm new to the forum, but thought others here might want to know about this. A couple of years back, I was looking for a Tokai Love Rock and came across this site: www.diodatiguitars.com. The guy who runs it (Pete Diodati) is selling some Les Paul - like instruments that were made in the same Hamamatsu factory as Tokai (perhaps, by Tokai?). I ended up buying a really nice cherry sunburst '59 tribute model and I couldn't be happier. :lol: Mine has 2 pc. mahogany back, maple cap, PAF pickups (Schaller, I think) and poly-nitro laquer. It has a nice thick '59-style neck on it and plays like a dream. The guitar was $799, so I feel I got a great deal on an awesome guitar.
I just checked his site and he doesn't seem to be doing that well financially, but you might still be able to get one from him.
