Well if it's any help to anybody - I ran the diagnostic checks as described in the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZzBPxKpvq0 and can confirm for the two sets of Tokai humbucker I have (one pair off a c. 2004 Love Rock 2 and another pair of uncertain provenance but believed to be off a ...

Can you still ship guitars into the USA easily enough from overseas - or do those CITES restrictions come into play for individuals as well as companies ?

On a related but slightly different note... I have a spare set of LoveRock Humbuckers I want to fit into another guitar. The pickups have the following wiring colours: White - Black Red - Green I know the White and black wires are fitted to one coil, and the red and green to the other. Can anybody t...

I don't know if it helps - but there's a wiki page which certainly confirms a manufacturing link up between Tokai and Fender.. " Tokai and Dyna Gakki produced the Fender Japan solid-body models from 1997 until the end of the Fender Japan joint-venture in 2015. " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tōkai_G...

Ah - it's coming back to me now, that's actually the original specification: volume splits the neck, and the tone splits the bridge :) What added to my confusion is the the other LoveRock2 I have was retrofitted with Irongear humbucker sized p90s by the previous owner. With no coils to split, he had...

Ok. Dunno if these crappy iPhone pics are going to be any use, but here goes: The LS105Q: https://i.imgur.com/CwkALuYl.jpg General shot of the cavity.. https://i.imgur.com/M4i1sKVl.jpg Back of bottom (tone) push-pull control.. https://i.imgur.com/YRRS7NGl.jpg Back of upper (volume) control.. https:/...

That's a good idea ..will do

I own two of these guitars, so should know the answer.. :oops: The Love Rock 2 has two humbuckers, one master volume control and one master tone control. Each of these is a push-pull type. Is the functionality: 1) The master controls are push-pull - with each one splitting one humbucker into single ...

Looks remarkably like a Love Rock from that era. Worth £500 for a MIJ long-tenon/quilted top anybody reckon ?

Thanks guys :) I love the dark quilted one.. https://reverb.com/item/31012470-tokai-tokai-ls142q-sdr-see-through-dark-red-made-in-japan-no-hardcase-no-gigbag .. and those new LC 107 and 200 models look pretty fine too. Have been seriously thinking about spending money on one of the older Gibson merl...

I actually did that before posting - I'm getting Korean manufactured ones and 'LC' numbered ones - custom ones I think.

I was wondering if there were regular production ones that came out of the Japanese plants ?

If so, can anybody steer me towards some pics ?

Thanks,
Alan
