Now look what you made me do! Drool on the desk :lol: :lol: :lol: Cheers for that my friend. See, without the Tokai, this is still a helpful group.

Hey there guys! Well, you haven't got rid of me yet! :lol: I'm still looking for a new guitar, just looking much much closer. Hopefully, my misfortune at Christmas has stopped someone else from making a mistake. The thing is not to give up. I even looked at a very nice Hohner 335 copy a...

As promiced, the results. Took the guitar back, going through three members of staff. Got to the gaffa, who as you can imagine, was far from pleased. He too had bought it as a Tokai! Got the usual sort of 'don't you think it's worth it anyway' thing, but you got to expect that. I did get my...

Ok, an update... I have contacted the local Trading Standards. They have given me some info that may be of use to you guys, although I hope you are never in a position to have to use it :D If the label on the goods have been changed, then the product is 'mis representing itself'. If the...

Oh....nuts!!! It was from a Cash Converter shop. Go on then, tell me more bad news. :lol: I've made arrangements to take it back tommorrow, will let you know what happens. Pete

Thanks guys Feel cheesed off now. Any chance of some good news..like it's a fender MIJ :lol: ? Sounds good, but don't know what to do with it. I don't know if I should take it back for a refund, or try to find out what it could have once been. This was supposed to be my first collectable...

Change of plan. Doen't take long just to slacken the strings and drop the neck off, so that's what I just done. Here's what I found... Instead of adjusting the saddle height, someone had stuck a card the size of a credit or phonecard, under the neck. With that and the switch wired up wrong...

Where in the world is Canuck? Now I feel like a dumbass... :lol: So when I said I was confused, looks like I'm not the only one. I will look into the cavity soon, and post any details. When I looked at the 7okia, I thought very early '80's from looking on the site. Also the chrome looks...

Cheers, good idea that. Posted a general picture at the following site. Can change it for a closer one of just the head if it helps. http://hometown.aol.co.uk/roboherb/myhomepage/aboutme.html I can give you a few more details, but not sure if relevent or not. The neck plate is stamped 'Made...

First let me thank you both for your replies. Made to feel welcome, thanks. I only bought the guitar yesterday morning, and was trying to find info when I can across this site. I looked at the 'how to date your Tokai', but was still puzzled. I still have a lot to read up on. I would be glad...

Hi all First time at this board, so please bare with me. I know this has been asked sooo many times, but I am still confused on dating (my Tokai I mean :wink: ) It is a tele shape, maple neck, breezy sound on the head with a small 'spaghetti' logo. No letters to tell me the model, just the...
