I bought a Tokai SG yesterday. Seller didn’t know the model, Made in Japan, 2007. It’s got a fabulous vintage C neck, one piece body, Gotoh pickups, F and R stickers on them. I thought it was an SG 75 from the catalogue entry for that year, then inside the case I find a neck sales ticket that...

I have this delightful ES100 from 2001 which badly needed some TLC. I am on a mission to get this to the level it deserves. Its got a '59 neck (which was hard to find believe me) and I have a synergy with it, as it plays beautifully. After failing electronics prompted a cash injection, I put...

I’ve come across a Les Paul Custom Lite in Japan but thought I would ask about it here in the forum. It’s just over 3kg, and I wondered whether these are sought after guitars or a bit of an odd ball? As if I need another Les Paul... haha - GAS addict

... seems like the interest in Tokai has really dropped off... there are hardly any new posts and discussion doesnt seem to pick up at all. Such a shame...

...which I have had for around three years. Its an ES-100 which I think is from 2001 (?)... My post is a pickups question... Basically after playing this alongside my others and a variety of different humbucker guitars, this sounds dull. It sound muffled in the top end and muddy in the bass...

I have just picked up an ES100 and it's fabulous. It's 2000, great condition and played in beautifully. It literally sings and I am stoked as I have been after a large neck 335 for a long time. The only issue is the bridge is set in the wrong place, maybe 1-2mm biased toward the bottom E. There...

I bought this LS60 Les Paul Reborn from Ebay a few weeks ago which was delivered last Friday. I clinched it for just ?340, but shipping and import duties it came in at around ?550, which overall was a good deal..... I know you guys are all into your higher end spec models and flaming etc, but...

I bought a second hand Es100 last week that arrived from a shop, but sadly its going back. Its a 2008, mint other than a mark on the rear of the body... I am gutted. Will I ever find one with reasonably thick neck? DOES ANYONE HAVE AN ES SERIES WITH A THICK(ER) NECK OR AM I GOING HAVE HAVE TO...

I just picked up a LS-60 LP Reborn and its 4.6kg.... is this going to be too much?!

Being a smitten 1980 LS60 owner I am rather late to realise there are new versions of these Reborn Old guitars. As all the content I seem to find online points toward Germany, both Tokai.de and Ebay.de.....can anyone highlight what's going on here? I see the models seem to be LS1-R8 and R9...

I'm after a Breezysound to replace one I sold a few years ago. I had to go as the neck was to thin and began to start a strain injury. I loved the sound, i modded it extensively and it was superb through all manner of amps. Looking around today at unaffordable Fender custom shop teles I'm after...

I bought a treble boost, a BSM RM, and I want to ask anyone who uses one of these or similar what they think of it. The only amp out of the seven valve amps I own it works well on is a Marshall 50w 2204, that late 70's master volume model with the big logo. The way it sounds interesting is to...

Well what an amazing guitar this is, I got this this afternoon and I am extremely satisfied with the sound and the feel of the guitar. Another complete winner from Tokai. The guitar is light, a beautiful cherry red. The neck is nice and chunky, the P90s are bright and loud. Very low hum and...

I just ordered a UPGP90 and I want to ask other owners what the guitar feels like, I am really hoping that the guitar doesnt feel too neck heavy like Epihpones I have tried out. It wont get here for another week or so and I am itching to get my hands on it. Cherry Red, brand new, only one in the...

2 days in Washington and 5 days in New York on a guitar finding mission (the dollar / pound rate is a wonderful thing), and general photography trip. Where should I go to seek out used guitars in either city? Where should I not go to avoid being mugged?! Recommend me things to do (I am...

I wanted to get a warmoth neck for my breezysound, as the neck is too thin. Has anyone ever managed to get a Warmoth neck? From what I can measure up they wont fit as they are too large at the heel..... I am gutted. :(

I have just finished this Jimmy Page wiring diagram on my 78 Reborn. http://guitarelectronics.zoovy.com/product/WDUHH3T2204 Since I picked up a Tokai Tele I found that I really enjoyed single coils. If you are getting bored of stock sounds from your Les Paul then I cannot recommend this mod...

I know ebay isnt any kind of statistical answer to the current vintage tokai climate, but since I bought my 2 Reborns I have seen very few for sale, even in Japan. Is the market starting to dry out? I have been looking for an old Breezy for months now, and I can seem to find anything that isnt...

I can believe it is on ?620, it peaked very early, very nice example though. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=3746352780&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT
