Hi All: My wife, 2 dogs, and cat, are going down to the IBC in Memphis this year, representing the columbus blues alliance in the duo/solo catagory. We will be arriving around Jan 28-feb 3rd. We will be taking our bus and towing a car. I am wondering if anyone has a spot near or in town...

Thanks for the responses. I decided to buy a MIK butterscotch 52 tele from JSD guitar shop. I can't wait to get it. Walter

Hi all: I have a MIK tokai ES 60 and love it. I am thinking of getting one of their tele's. How do they sound, and is the workmanship similar to the ES 60? I have a 1963 jazzmaster, and it has that fender hum when plugged in- you have to move around to find the quiet spot. Did tokai...

Big Willie: I have one of the made in korea copies of the 335. It too, has a slight crack in the finish, where the neck meets the body. It has never been dropped either. I have been playing it to death, and nothing is moving. Maybe the guy who built our guitars, had a bit too much to drink...

I too have recently landed a year old, but never used, ES-60, in cherry red. I too, am leaving the electronics alone. I was very skeptical about this being a Korean guitar, but it has blown me away. I am running it through a deluxe reverb, and have the perfect tone for my ears. I also...

I bought one (I think it is this model-MIK)off a friend a couple of weeks ago. He bought it new a year ago, but didn't hardly play it. It is cherry red, and plays and sounds as good as a gibson 335. I took it out to a gig last night. I ran it through a fender deluxe reverb, and it flat out...

Hi Jim: thank you for listening! I lead a different kind of life, for a long time. I am writing a book about it all - spontobeat, the old blues guys, and the smiling with hope foundation. The author lives in England, and we talk on the phone, record it, and he does his magic on it. There is...

I like this guitar. It sounds and plays well beyond it's price. It was going through my deluxe reverb, with the THD Hotplate on. The amp volume was around 3-4, the guitars pu's wide open, and on the neck pu. IMO, not bad sound for a $400 guitar. My 63 jazzmaster, my main guitar for the past 20...

thanks for that info guys. I just got back from the music store. I put the tokai, up against a new gibson 335 ($2,200) I could hear very little difference. If anything, the gibson had less range in the tones of the pickup positions. Both played identical too- easy. I am buying this guitar, and...

Hi everyone: I am new here. I have the chance to buy a made in Korea ES120. The serial number is painted on the back of the headstock, in white paint E1504012. I can get it for $400(US). I have a few questions. How does this guitar compare to a gibson 335? The craftsmanship is very good...
