"TOKAI also joined the high-tech brigade, and continue to prove themselves as much more than mere copyists with a 100% carbon fibre guitar using active buffer circuitry, high-spec trem etc, and a price of around £1,400 - Hmm! More affordable was a fine looking 'Super-Strat' class model with a walnut body, carbon fibre neck and buffer circuitry in the rather EMG-like pickups - possibly due to go out for around £7-800. Crazy artwork adorned a 'Tele' type model, a bizarre multicoloured Japanese face design - yours for about an extra £80 over the basic price. Even more over the top was a copper-plated Tokai with an all fibreglass body and carbon fibre neck."
