I was thinking about upgrading the electrics in my Korean Love Rock with CTS pots, switchcraft toggle switch and Jack socket. The online store I asked advice from has advised that Tokais were built with Alpha pots or the equivalent if the guitar was made before 1993. Therefore the holes for the pots will be too small for CTS pots. He said this was one of the reasons Gibson was ok with manufacturers like Tokai copying the Gibson models as it would be difficult to get them up to Gibson standard.
I have no reason to doubt the chap, but I always thought that Tokai went to lengths to create an exact copy. Or does that only apply to the high end Japanese models?
Anyway it's a bit of a bummer, unless I feel courageous enough to take a drill to my guitar. Anyone ever done this? How difficult is it?
Cheers
