now we pass to question fase...
as of now I own one tokai, and intend to one more only... more than 3 guitars is too much maintenance, besides also like fender type guitars. So only one tokai for me and two very soon.Right now it its a new one. The next will be too...Luckly I have been able to compare both new and old 80-82 tokais. We had a dealer in portugal who had them in the early eighties, so some people still own them.
Ive been playing them for quite some time now... Im not in the business of comparing them, I usually prefer to play them :wink:
I tend to know how they sound, I also tend to know when rumors about this or that being better are spread, and when I get a chance to try those things out I do... My opinion like I told you, is there is nothing making an old tokai better than a new one, not even the farm grown wood tale...sorry m8
but I mean, never let the truth get in a way of a good story, if you like them better, and sell them better, more power to you.
Oh and by the way Ive met some nice people who are also in the guitar business, who are also relatively knowledgable of tokais, they sure seem to think the new ones are just as good, is that a valid point? Well I think it is as good as any.
cheers
