Hello everyone! I'm a newbie here, and I've really looked up to this site since rarely any fighting or disrespect goes on here. I valued the insightful comments and suggestions whenever I browse this site. And now.. I finally found a Tokai online and I'm considering on pulling the trigger on my 1st Tokai but I decided to post this to seek for your inputs before anything else.
So here goes. I saw this Tokai Love Rock Standard Goldtop posted online and according to the seller, it's Korean-made. He said he can't tell for sure on what type of wood used and most probably it's the standard mahogany with maple top. Here's the description on his ad:
"This guitar weighs 4.25 kilos has no serial number so was probably Made in Korea for the domestic japanese market.
In excellent used condition. (see pics) The front is clean with justa couple of tiny marks. The back has some scratches and a couple of small chips but nothing major. The back of neck has a number of small dinks/chips but nothing noticeable when played and the headstock has a couple of small chips. The original hardware is in excellent order and all working well. The electrics are original and working fine. The fretboard is fine with the frets showing minimal wear. Its playing nicely and includes a gigbag."
I have no expertise in determining whether if it's Korean or China made.. And as much as I would like to own the MIJ ones since they're the one with quality and legacy, at the moment my budget works really well with the price of a Korean made and the last thing I want to end up with a Chinese Tokai. I hope to gain new friends who share the same love for Tokai guitars or just guitars for that matter and I hope to learn from what everyone can share.
Thanks and best regards to all! =)
