Hi Guys, Thanks for all the useful information! From what I can gather from you info the actually pots don't actually affect the tone of the guitar. All I'm wanting from the upgrades is to improve the tone of the guitar so if changing the pots will harness zero change in tone I guess I'll...

Hi guys, I'm wanting to upgrade the electronics in my MIJ Tokai to be at least of the standard of my Gibson SG. Does anybody know of any very good wiring kits? So far I have found this one, is it any good? http://www.axesrus.com/axeknobs.htm#Kits If you scroll down it's simply the 'Gibson...

Thanks!

hi, sorry dude! i have no idea when it was built sorry!

I have no idea! I was going to attemp it myself but i'd never wired actives before so I took it to a shop for them to do it. If i remember correctly there's some info on EMGs website about how it's done. Thanks to everyone for the comments, I love this guitar!

It's an LS65, the MIJ model with an EMG 81, gotta say these things really are better than current production Gibson Les Paul Standards. I also managed to get a very, very low action on it too. pretty metal I'd say!

hahaha cheers! if anyone knows what finishes they come in that would also be great! :)

hi, i'm looking into buying one of these soon as a back up to my gibson sg. i've heard many good things about tokai and i was just wondering how the standard of the als 65 compares to the gibson line? could it be comparable to a gibson les paul std? studio? special etc?! also any other info or...

Jamieh...that looks really nice. My local shop has that in stock but the finish doesn't look half as nice as that! Looks like I'm just going to have to keep hunting until I find a blue als 50Q!

Thanks for all the replies guys, you've helped me out a lot :) Roger - Yeah, I'm from the sunny Leeds in the North of England!

yeh that's exactly what i needed, much appreciated!

Hi, thanks for the replies they've been really helpful. I finally got to try one of them out and was VERY impressed with the playabilty and tone you get for such a low price :) Does anybody know what colours they als series are available in? The website only has codes that I don't really...

Hi, thanks for the reply i'll bear that in mind. After playing my housmates Epi Les Paul I can honestly say the neck is awful. It feels really cheap and the tone was muddy as hell (even with a Seymour Duncan Custom Custom p/up in the bridge) ?400 sounds like a bit of a steal for the Tokai...

Hi guys I'm new here, great board! I'll get straight to it... My main guitar is a Gibson SG Std and I'm looking for a good quality Les Paul style guitar as a back up for shows and practice. I was originally looking at the Epi Les Pauls but heard a lot of good things about the Tokais. I'm on a...
