    Seeking MIJ J.Page/EDS-1275-style double neck guitar

    Thanks, guys - I was actually able to buy the same model guitar from a forum member this week for a lower price. It arrived today and I am quite happy with it! If you're reading this, thanks again, Bob (a.k.a. hunter)! - Chris

    Gilltone...MIJ? Good quality?

    Can anyone tell me about the Gilltone brand? I have seen a few inexpensive guitars with this label online, but can't find any information on them. Are they made in Japan? Is the quality acceptable (or even pretty good)? Thanks, Chris

    Installing a Bigsby on a Love Rock?

    Hey guys, Have any of you ever put a Bigsby on a Love Rock? If so, do you recall which model you used? been thinking about getting one for my LS-70 Goldtop. Also, because of the imperial/metric difference, will a Bigsby fit normally on a Tokai? - Chris

    whart are my options for a new tokai goldtop..

    I bought a Goldtop LS75 with humbuckers from forum-member togps back in Dec '05...I imagine they are still available. I don't know a lot about neck sizes, but it feels like it's medium sized maybe? I have an Edwards E-LP-105LTS, too, and I'd say that its comparable to the Tokai in quality (they...

    Just got hit with customs in the US using EMS from Japan...

    I just bought an Edwards from Ishibashi - it arrived here in NYC this morning and there were no customs fees to be paid (hopefully I am not going to get a bill in the mail, or anything). - Chris

    How many of you replaced Pickups ?

    My guitar tech did the installation/wiring for me - I don't know which version he used exactly. All the different positions seem cool to me - I most often use the coil splitting on the neck and bridge PUPs, but I am still playing around with the different tones and trying to figure out which...

    How many of you replaced Pickups ?

    "What did you change to ? Why ?" WCR Fillmore set - the stock PUPS on my LS75 were OK, but I wouldn't a more unique, boutique sound, plus I wanted to do the "Jimmy Page" wiring mod. "Was there a big difference in tone ?" Yes - hard to describe what the difference is exactly, but there is...

    TonePro bridge for Tokai?

    I don't know if the AVR-II will fit - you would need to get its specs from the TonePros site and measure them against your stock bridge's specs. The T3BP-N was the second TonePros bridge that I tried - the first one, a T3BT, didn't fit (because it had large post holes and my Love Rock requires...

    Drop in Tokai's standards

    My Tokai LS70 GT was made late last year (I bought it in January of this year) - the build quality is excellent - I don't have any complaints with it whatsoever. - Chris

    which of the japanese dealers answer mails in english?

    I had the same problem - Ishibashi did write back to me after a while, though, so I wouldn't give up on them. The only other shop that answered my emails (I think it was Kurosawa Gakki, but I forget now) told me they no longer shipped to the US, anyway. - Chris

    Tonepros bridge

    See my post above for the part numbers - the TonePros bridge fit easily on the Tokai bridge posts (the was a very tiny amount of extra space in the TP bridge's post holes - but that didn't seem to matter once I locked the bridge down). I replaced the Tokai tailpiece studs with TonePro locking...

    Which online Japanese shops carry Tokai Teles?

    Either is fine by me, actually. I am not a stickler when it comes to color - would prefer a Rosewood fretboard, though.

    Strap locks and strap for my new tokai?

    Got Schallers on my new LS70 - they installed very easily and work great - can't imagine any problems arising with them.

    Cat's Eyes CE65?

    Hey folks, Does anyone here own (or have you played) a Cat's Eyes CE65? I have never played one, myself, but I see that they are rather inexpensive - I might like to buy one, but I would like to know a little more about how it stacks up against other guitars in the $500-$1,000 market. Thanks, Chris
