Tokai Forum - a subsidiary of TokaiRegistry.com

Hi All, I have a 2005 LS200 VF that is not getting any use as I have basically stopped playing. The guitar is in very good condition but does show very fine scratching as any used 12 year old guitar will, and some oxidation on the bridge, pickups etc. One of the pickup surrounds is cracked but can b...

This "Other" section of the forum is getting some good Bacchus coverage. Initially I was a Tokai man and my LS200 will never leave me but I no longer look to Tokai when I want a Guitar. I look to Bacchus. I have a couple and they are fantastic.

Oh yeah! Fantastic Goldtop there MIJ!

Double post. Please delete.

Is there a video showing the pickup winding process? Perhaps Bacchus themselves can explain the difference between the SPs & the Yutas? :wink: Incidentally, Deviser never bothered to reply to my e.mail enquuiring about my BST64V, so I don't know why they were so helpful to other owners but not me. ...

Your item 6 above is the only one I'm interested in. All the others apply to every person you will meet in a lifetime - it's no different here. That was kind of my point Marcus. My BST62 has Yuta pups and although I don't have the Bacchus Alnicos to compare too, I am totally happy with them. I feel...

Well, that has made for a totally enjoyable lunch time read. What have I learned today? 1) Some people are a bit sensitive. 2) Some people are overly confident in their abilities. 3) Some people are stupid. 4) Some people are assholes. 5) Some people are cool. 6) Bacchus Alnico Special pickups are b...

I have a 2008 BST 62 with a curly maple neck and sweet brazilian rosewood fretboard.

I'd be surprised if you felt the need to replace the neck on a Bacchus. Extraordinary guitars.

OK I know this is very childish and I am also the plus side of 30 :wink: but let us all enjoy this week and remind "Nani" of the fact the Old Trafford and its adoring fans were belittled by the best football team in the world on Saturday morning. Do you remember that Nani, eh?? YNWA. :D :D :D :D :D ...

I would advise everybody to try Elixirs once to see what they think. Personally I love the feel of them. They feel like the are oiled or something and your fingers just glide over the strings.

My 2c.

Nice Goldie by the way!

Hi All, Just thought I'd jump in here and say a word on Bacchus too. I have gone through a few Tokais in my time and I have settled on my LS200 as a keeper. The others I have thought were really great until I started to see, hold and play Bacchus. These guitars are truly stunning. The workmanship on...

Well i suppose it depends on how hard you squeeze it.....

Mick

Yeah I suppose that's called tweeking your tone right?

Thanks Stratman. It's just that I don't look at my Tokais as Gibson copies or wannabe's really. I look upon them as Tokai reproductions of the classic Gibson designs. I think you can take a classic design and improve on it like the way Bacchus have done with their guitars. But I suppose Tokai do go ...

Dimple, pimple, nipple ???? When was the last time someone told you their tone came from their nipple?

I'm selling a Tokai ES100 guitar, MIJ, in perfect condition, most likely with nipple! Surely that's a bonus.

I think it's the UK one. I know it had to be imported from the UK into Ireland but I'll double check.

What difference does this make Togps?

Right so I have to put this up for sale so I'm going to look for ?800 or nearest offer. Ill take pics later today and post a link.
