    Info on Tokai Cat's Eyes 000-42E

    Hi, I am considering buying this Tokai Cat's Eyes 000-42E. It looks gorgeous and is presumably a very high end tokai acoustic. However I cant find anything about it online which worries my a bit. It is from 2008 but I cant find a catalogue from that year. My guess is that it is maybe...

    Quality of Bacchus handcrafted teles vs Suhr and Fender CS?

    Arh, sjovt! Jeg synes også, at navnet virkede bekendt :-) Jeg har svaret inde på 4sound. Hvad har i øvrigt været de fedeste bacchus du har ejet? Har kigget en del på deres tidligere vintageserie samt deres nyere t-standard/master.

    I am actually located in Århus :-) I see you are in Copenhagen. Do you own Bacchuss guitars?

    Is this a good seller?

    Hi Ibucus Thank you for your reply. I am in Denmark, so you had it right with Scandinavia :-) And yes, the import taxes are rather high. 33 % on top of the guitar and shipping cost. Thank you for recommending japanguitars.co.uk! I have stumbled upon this dealer before, and getting a...

    Is this a good seller?

    Hi folks I want to ask you, if you know this seller (japanvintageguitars.com) and what your experience is with them? Are the guitars in the shape as presented on the page? Is the customer service good? Are the prices reasonable? It is pretty nerve wrecking to buy a guitar without trying it...

    Quality of Bacchus handcrafted teles vs Suhr and Fender CS?

    Thank you for your answer! :-) It is a bit nerve-wrecking to potentially buy a guitar online without trying it first, so you point about asking questions to the seller is a good one :-) I think that patience is a key point here as well, because at some point a nice used tele is bound to show up...

    Quality of Bacchus handcrafted teles vs Suhr and Fender CS?

    Hi folks :-) I just sold my acoustic and now have enough money to boy a really nice tele. I want a guitar, that I will be happy to play for the rest of my life. I have been down the road of heavily modifying a midrange guitar too many times - I have had good results, but it has always left me...

    I want to buy this guitar by I am worried it might be a fake

    Thank you for your answer! :-) I read somewhere that the old Burny Gibson copies had only two screws on the truss rod cover. This one has three. Should I worry about that? Thanks again :-) All the best, Esben

    I want to buy this guitar by I am worried it might be a fake

    Hi I am looking to buy this Burny FTV-50M this guy has for sale. It looks great but the headstock makes me worry, it might be a fake. Or a modified Burny from China or Korea. The logo is painted on (but really convincing), and I am think they may have used inlays back then, but I am not sure...

    Have anyone changed the wiring in a high end Tokai?

    Thank you for your answer. It is good to hear that there is no need for that. It sure does look neat, from what I can see through the f-hole :-)

    Have anyone changed the wiring in a high end Tokai?

    Thank you for your answer :-) That was just what I needed to hear. I just wanted to be sure - I dont want to do an operation to this guitar more than once. It is really timeconsuming pulling everything out from that f-hole :-) A lot of people change the wiring on their expensive Gibsons, but...

    Have anyone changed the wiring in a high end Tokai?

    Hi I just purchased a used Tokai HES 180 and I am very pleased with it. Amazing guitar of an amazing quality. Especially the acoustic qualities of the guitar are great and a great deal better than my Ibanez AS93. However I have decided to change the pickups to Sheptone Tributes. I have them in...
