welcome to the wonderful world of guitar snobbery! most people on here you'll find quite objective, and I've certainly seen some posts from happy MIK owners. Then you'll get the odd muppet who just posts something like "MIK Tokais what a joke" I would definately say the QC isn't that...

he's talking from his rear end. there's plenty of sub ?400 guitars with great finishes and lovely necks.

personally I don't think are particularly overpriced. I bought a Korean Gold top recently and Ok, some of the finishing is a little sloppy (glue around the nut etc), but after a wiring upgrade and a couple of Kent Armstrong pick ups it does the job for me. I would not say that it wipes the floor...

they are expensive, so if you buy any, don't get stung :-? ok, I'll get my coat..

thanks Roger that makes sense. I just need to source a deep thread nut now as the thread on the switch is too short! thank you :wink:

For anyone else attempting this, remember that tokais need the long thread switchcraft switch - the standard one won't poke through the hole enough to screw on! Oh dear, I've just discovered that very problem! I can't find reference anywhere to a long thread switch though. I got mine from WD...

Hi Roger thanks for the reply! I am a bit confused though! Ok Garagerat's diagram earlier in the thread has 3 wires coming of the switch? 1 each to both volume pots and one to the output? sorry to sound thick, but I appreciate any help! :)

congrats Anders, I'm just about to do the same thing! I've never done it before either. Is that a switchcraft toggle you used? I'm just trying to get my head around the contacts on it and which wire goes where! :-?

guys, I've got my goodies now, can I just ask, did you use the braided wire just for the toggle switch? as it's single core, I take it you have 2 runs of braided wire going up to the switch? thanks Nick

well, I've ordered pots/caps/wire etc. All I have to do now is put em in the right places! :wink:

thanks. cool website re Thursday btw. :)

thanks yeah the wire that connects up all the pots on the back of them. also, how did you ground to the tailpiece? thanks for the help!

hi, first time poster. Garagerat, what wire did you use for the ground loop? thanks Nick
