The love rock 2 is a superb instrument and certainly worth the ?700 i paid for mine,if anyone remembers the wonderful yamaha msg from the late 80's the love rock 2 is identical in body shape to that ie a scaled down 335 shape blended with les paul construction.the range of sounds that can be wrung from this little beauty is amazing with both pick ups coil tapped and the 3 way switch versatile is an understatement.what a gorgeous flame maple top as well worthy of any gibbo,i would reccomend any les paul players out there who are getting numb shoulder syndrome to give one of these a blast,i shifted from my 77 les paul deluxe gold top to the tokai and was amazed! i also aquired a ES120 flame top in cherry and what a guitar, my mate compared it back to back with his gibson 335 and was nearly sick with rage at how good the tokai was ie every bit as good as the gibson! when i told him i got it for ?500 with a gator case he chased me from his house!!
