    ramblings, data and Pictures of my Goldstar strat

    Thanks! As I stated, I hate the sound new strings anyway. Just this evening I decided to give the elixirs 2 weeks, if I don't like the, they go off. Maybe they sound better on my Epi Dot /Hans

    I hate new strings anyway. When they are a week or two old, they start sounding to my likings. Just might be that the elixirs take a little longer. Cant wait for that Blues tone I love so much from her....

    Ian Thanks, The nobs where on the guitar when I bought it. I just didn't come around to replace them. I guess I will, didn't like them anyway. I'm happy with the fact my tokai is a real one, but it wouldn't really matter, the thing feels like home. The setup, I just might start thinking it...

    It seems my guitar comes out of the (dark) middleages, nobody knows. Or is my question that stupid and the answer so obvious ? Well I'll wait and see. The guitar sounds great and I love it. (I would, even if it turns out to be a Tokai imitation.....)
