Still here. Now upgraded with proper EMG pick ups...

Wow! Nearly 11 years since all of this. I never did sell that guitar...it's still here somewhere!

I think I'll put a Fender logo on mine....

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...

Good tip! I'll probably get away with doing that as Mrs Carter won't notice...or be half as mad as she was picking up my new Greco Zemaitis from the Post Office last week...muttering the words "unauthorised purchase" Domestic credit in minus figures yet again!

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...

Haha! True...but then most lawyers are terrifying.

Looks good, plays well...makes you wonder why they didn't go the whole way and put a Gibson logo on it? If the people who actually made it are dishonest - and until they break cover and say why they put a Tokai logo on it - then surely putting a Gibson logo on it would have been just a...

Morning All, Glad you liked the photos. You certainly seem to know your stuff! If I get chance today I'm going to re-list the guitar - probably under the title "Zakk Wylde Les Paul a like". As I mentioned I don't want to mislead anyone into thinking this is a Tokai but I doubt many people...

Sorry! I thought that would only upload the links, not giant versions of the photos themselves! Phil
