Bump. Now fitted with new Kluson tuners (originals can be included).

Bump. Open to reasonable offers

For sale is my 1980 Tokai ST85N. However, the electrics and pickups were removed by a previous owner. The gentleman I purchased this from restored the instrument with top quality replacements. This is a Tokai clone of the 63/64 Strat. The guitar is 39 years old and has some minor dings and...

I have come across a Breezysound and wanted to ask the forum's opinions on it: https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/japanese-tokai-telecaster/1216652876 I have asked for details on the model number, etc, but have been only been told its 10 years old. I'm guessing the quilted top may...

Hi Esben, I bought a MIJ Tokai from Mark about 18 months ago. The guitar was exactly as described, it was well packed (with a hard case) and I was very happy with my purchase. You may find cheaper guitars online, but Mark has built up a good reputation as a MIJ specialist seller and, in my...

Bump. Offers considered before this comes off the block.

I see that Baird Sound Systems in Belfast have a selection of new Tokais (bairdsoundsystems.com). They have a good reputation for their customer service. Alternatively, I have an LS320 in the Classifieds :P I hope this helps.

This is a feeler on selling my 1999 Tokai LS320 in violin finish. This is a single cut LP hand made in Japan. The original case is included along with the pick guard, which has never been fitted. Pickups signed by both Seymour Duncan and Seth Lover. The only changes to the original...

Thanks to everyone who sent a PM. I have now tried a dab of nut sauce and it has worked a treat! Weird thing is, after saying I'd never sell her, now I'm not too sure :-?

Hi Luis, Thanks for your reply. I'd be very keen to know what other improvements you think I should make in addition to the tuners. I had initially thought about trying to buy just one replacement tuner for the G string, so I posted a wanted ad in the classifieds section. I included a photo in...

Hi, I currently have an LS 320 (1999), which is a fantastic guitar. The only problem I’m having with it, and which seems to be a flaw with many LP type guitars, is that it has less tuning stability compared with, say a strat or a tele. I have particular difficulty with the G-string staying in...

Hi, I am looking for just one tuner to replace one on my MIJ LS model from 1999. The photo below shows what they look like. If anyone has one to spare, or can advise me on where I may find one, please feel free to PM me. Thanks.

Thanks for your advice Dave, its much appreciated. I have a feeling that I'm unlikely to find anything better than the Tokais locally. The GAS goes on! :lol:

I'm not often down in Dublin, but I'll check it out before going there if I'm heading that way (I'm more likely to be in London with work). I called into Brian Keenan's place in Belfast recently, but he didn't have any PRS in stock. My perception is that PRS seem to take more care and...

I am thinking of getting a PRS and wondered if any members have experience of them and how they relate to Tokai in terms of comfort, build quality and tone. I am swaying towards a single cut and am curious how it might compare to my Loverock. Belfast has next to no major PRS retailers, so I'm...

The switch is intermittent. Its ok in the neck position. In the middle position I usually only have only the neck pickup and for the bridge pickup, the volume is significantly lower (and thinner - like a single coil) than it should be. Occasionally, everything works as it should (if I jiggle it...

Hi, I need to replace the pickup selector switch on my 1999 LS 320. If anyone could offer me some advice on the best make/model to go for, I would be very grateful. Cheers Tony

There are many places to find MIJ guitars (ebay, Yahoo auctions, other forums, etc). You could be lucky and the perfect guitar for you might pop up quite quickly. However, its more likely that it will take some time for the right instrument to become available. I recently bought a Tokai from...
