    Best Way to Buy a Tokai?

    I've been out of the Tokai game for a long time, since about 2005. On a whim I recently purchased an ES-166. in my haste I think I might have overpaid--by quite a bit. Where are the best Tokai deals found online these days (new and used)? I once bought an LS-150 new directly from Ishibashi...

    How to Date Burny SG?

    I'm forced to consider selling my Burny SG. I believe it is an '84...but how do you date them? EDIT: Also, what's the going price? It's naturally recliced and no museum piece by any stretch. A good amount of chips dings, tarnish, etc, but sounds amazing.

    eBay seller dozo4649 = Excellent!

    This is a newer seller of MIJ guitars on eBay and I have to say he is great. VERY responsive and accurate in his descriptions. He's got the good stuff too. (I sometimes get the feeling some other big sellers are unloading junk---but that's another story). So if you see something you like...

    Burny VH-1 Pickup (observations)

    Some of you may recall I recently got a Burny SG (which I love) with VH-1 pickups (gray wire). Many commented how good the Vh-1s sound and said that I should not replace them without giving them a chance. I played the guitar and was indeed surprised by how good they sounded. They had a...

    Edwards LP Truss Rod Cover Question

    I ordered my first Edwards last night and have a question. The switch to a Gibby style bell-shape truss rod cover is popular with the Tokai crowd...but I've never seen one on a Edwards. Do they not fit Edwards? Thanks, Dave
