Just out of curiosity, has anyone tried comparing modern Gotoh and Keyio made MK2 pickups? How do they differ? Does anyone know their characteristics, like resonance peak, EQ and other technical information? It's kind of uncool that Tokai does not tell, in their catalogues, which...

What is it about the vintage (from the eighties) Tokai guitars from the seventies and eighties that makes them better than the contemporary Tokai guitars? It seems that the vintage Tokai are more expensive and more sought after than the contemporary Tokai. I understand that the wood age and gets...

There are lots of differently-priced Tokai LS models in Vintage series, but only two SG models (88 and 118) and two AST models - why is it so? Is it that those guitars needs no improvements (hence no need for some 150 model) or that they're so unpopular? Also, since SG's body is thinner, hence...

Does a shorter scale (625 mm in this case) in general requires to have a higher action compared to a longer scale to avoid the fret buzz (assuming the frets are alright)?

Could please someone generalize the categories of Tokai LS model guitars soundwise? I have an LS75 (92 in 2010 catalogue), and I wonder what is the real difference between this one and, let's say, 120, 160, 240 and so on from the same 2010 catalogue? I mean, if at some point I wanted an upgrade...

How much has the quality of Tokai MIJ guitars changed since 70s-80s until 2010? I see people talking a lot about the older Tokais - I wonder whether the older Tokais were really much better made than the recent ones of the same price category... If that is true, why is it so?

How are the cheaper Burny RLC-60/70 models from 1988-1990 in general compared to older (70s-80s) models? Had their quality declined by then? One not so good thing I heard from other people is that although they are supposed to have VH-1 pickups, those are actually different pickups in sound...

Can anyone tell me anything good or bad about Tokai LS-75 made in Japan? The one I can buy is probably from 2009 or 2008, but who knows, maybe it can be older. I could not find any info about it on the internet. Would be cool to see some catalogue which has this guitar.

I am going to be choosing between two guitars: * a brand new Tokai LS-75 made in Japan (it's probably from 2009 or 2008, but who knows, maybe it can be older - I don't really know, since the store that sells them started importing them only in December 2010 - , but it does not appear in 2010...
