Awesome pics Felipe! Now you've got to show us that flamed mahogany body you were talking about. And if possible, some soundclips? :)

Here's one point to consider; I have a 2002 Japanese LS-65 and it has a 3 piece mahogany body. I believe the Reborns had 2 or one piece bodies. Other than that I don't think there's any other difference. Some people argue that the mahogany used 20 years ago will be better than the wood used on...

**** you're one lucky guy. Can you post any soundclips of your new guitar? I see you got it from Guitar Shop universe like I did. How was the condition of the guitar? Did it have store wear like mine did :cry:

Wow, still haven't found your ideal tone yet? At least your having fun tweaking it, if it were me, I'd just give up and put up with whatever I had in there. Maybe it's not your pickups/guitar that needs tweaking..have you tried fiddling around with your amp's settings? The amp is where you get...

Couldn't have said it better myself, Bob.

I thought that Tokai was obsessed with copying the Gibson's body shape to the point of taking them apart to make sure they were accurate. So why is it that my LS65's carved top not as prominently curved as a Gibson? I was told that 70's Gibson LP's had a flat belly like the Tokai is that true...

Wow, I never knew Slash was raised in England. I just thought he was born there and moved to the U.S. while he was still an infant. Well, he does a good job of hiding his British accent. How is the dialect in Stoke? Do people in that town speak English like the people in London or like the boys...

My guess is the LS-75Q. Look at bluesman's thread, and compare his pics to your guitar. Hope that helps! :D

stokeboy where do you live? Your statement about your guitar shop getting a few LS 65 soon is like a dagger in my heart. You mean you don't have to resort to practically smuggling the Tokais into your country like us Americans? :wink: It angers me that Tokai is one of the few companies to make...

Maybe the owner took a holiday. I went to a few other Japan websites and they said their site/store would be closed for a week or two. Maybe some Japanese holiday. ....or maybe Guitar Shop Universe got in trouble for selling to foreigners? The splash page states that the store is for people...

Go for it dude! I'm really Jonesing for a brand spanking new, factory fresh top of the line LS-320 Violin Finish. If you can get a couple of those I'll be the first one in line to buy one from you.

Cool lookin humbuckers, man. Are you going to be posting any clips your love rock w/ the new pickups?

John, actually I've got a Japanese Love Rock, but I'm assuming my guitar would see the same improvements that your's has. But I was told that the electronics in modern day Love Rocks are light years ahead of the ones from 20 years ago... You know what, the bridge HB on my axe is a little...

Got any MP3's you can post of your new guitar? I want to compare your guitar to mine and see if it is worthwhile for me to make some of the improvements you made!

Hey there, Well, I have an LS-65 in a Violin Burst finish (looks like a mellowed-out cherry sunburst), and yes it is a 2 piece plaintop. The higher numbered models come with a 2 piece back. The LS-65 is a 3 piece back. Neck profile and hardware are identical. But from what I've heard from...

John, here's a website that features short mp3 samples of all the major Seymour Duncan pickups. At first I could hardly tell the difference between the pups, but as the website stresses, the bigger and louder your speakers, the bigger difference you will hear. Oh yeah, here's the link...

I can't touch your collection of amps...I have a Marshall avt20. I know it's solid state, but for my purposes ( bedroom playing) it serves me well. I know that all tube(valve) amps sound the best... ...but only when the sound is cranked so I'd probably be wasting my money to get a full fledged...

Stratdeluxer, I went on the Fender forum to check you out because your conduct on this forum was reminiscent of an immature teenager, based on the way you reacted when you didn't get the answers you wanted. But I was proven wrong when I read your responses to questions on the FDP. Your apology...

I understand what you're saying Ramsale, I didn't mean to imply that the cheaper Tokais are not worthy. I'm just wondering how much of a difference there is between the big buck Love Rocks(LS200/320) and mine. I just dinged my LS65 pretty bad, so much I can't even stand to look at it, so I was...

I'm an owner of an LS-65 and have a few questions about the quality of these lower grade models versus the top of the line LS200 and LS320. My LS-65 cost $450 US before the shipping costs, which is equivalent to the cost of an Epiphone. The LS200 and LS320 are between $1300-$2100, similar in...
