Hello, I'm new to the whole tokai thing, but I've heard to join here before purchasing, so here I am.
I have been wanting a 335 style guitar, but I'm not a huge fan of epiphones all the time, and haven't found one that doesn't feel like a toy to me. I am saying this in the least snooty way possible, but every one that has been in my local music store has felt plastic-y and cheap, and sounded rather terrible in comparison to the gibbo one I've played. I cannot afford a Gibson at the moment, and have a roughly 400 dollar budget (U.S). I have been seeing a lot of tokai's on YouTube, and have heard great things about them, so I figured i'd give them a look.
There is a beautiful blue tokai 335 dot that falls into my price range and it's in Canada. It's not perfect but I love the color, and its got a bigsby (Bonus!). I read somewhere that there are Canadian made tokai fakes that aren't that great, but the guy claims it is a MIJ one he ordered from the factory. I figured it doesn't hurt to ask, so does anyone know anything about this guitar? Thanks!
