As I said many, many thanks for pointing out the issue to me I appreciate it.

I want to commend you for having a super attitude about this whole affair. Really good take on life.
Welcome to the forum!
Oh yeah...the decision is easy...Tokai have NEVER built a Zakk Wylde model.gtrplayr1976 said:So, was there a decision on what this was? I also have one, but someone added some Gibson details, and active EMGs. Whatever it is....it plays ,and sounds great.

Good for you mate....we've always said that some of these fakai look really well constructed and yours seems better than most.fonusbak said:Morning All!
...and hello from Hamburg.
I relisted the guitar and - apart from the usual "will you sell it for ?1" emails - got no bids. Thats fine, I don't mind. While the auction was on I had the guitar out and played it more than I have since I got it...and figured that, despite its dubious origins, it's actually pretty good...so I'll keep it - possibly upgrading the pick ups.

If they DID...Mick would be all over it like white on rice..!!!!
fonusbak said:Impressive!
Perfectly demonstrates the thing I struggle to understand too.
If these guitars were made by some devious types out to rip people off - why bother putting fake "Tokai" decals on it?
Surely their market value would be increased with the Gibson logos??
I guess until the people that actually made them break cover and say why they did it we'll never know.
No...not one of the Chinese. It had the Tokai logo, but was replaced with the Gibson . It's actually a vinyl decal that has been clear coated. The guy I got it from did the work. personally , I would have used the waterslide decal. If done right they look good. I'm a huge Schenker fan also. Saw him with UFO 1977. Changed me forever. What a show.Ozeshin said:AHHHHH gtrplayr1976 yours is one of the "Chinese Gibsons" :roll:
Did you buy it new?
Did it come in a carton?
I gotta say they look damned good...the dimpled headstock is used by a few different builders to avoid the Gibson issues...but in your case they go and slap a HUGE Gibson logo all over it...lol.
If you were a Zakk Wylde fan I don't see why you wouldn't consider one of these...
I own a Michael Schenker Maya Vee(MiJ around 1980) and I bought it purely and simply coz I was a HUGE fan.
Sure..it's not a Gibson...but it looks exactly like his black and white vee's from the '80's.
