Tokai's own official dealer in the UK couldn't even order one, so I had to turn to eBay. I just ordered a Z-Talbo at what I believe to be a very fair price; $1699.- (shipping included). It's due to arrive from Japan in 5-10 days. I'll keep you posted (if you're interested) about the looks, feel...

This topic is starting to touch subjects I never thought it would. I was searching for references for the Zemaitis/Talbo, and ended up with an education in Japanese culture, communication and marketing. Many thanks for that to all the contributors. I feel I need to explain that I never...

Second Word(s): Cairo flea-market; a jumble of ever-changing factors. Espscially when you're trying to make sense of it sitting behind a computer in the Netherlands...

Thanks for that link, very enlightening. And not, simultaneously. But you catch my drift. I'm under the ever-growing impression that for a country and people so disciplined, the communication of Japan and the Japanese is not what you'd think it would be. First word comes to mind is Ant Hill...

Hi Mick, it's just that when I asked the UK Tokai dealer about his guitar, he mentioned them being built by Greco. From what I've read on this forum, Greco, Zemaitis an Tokai seem to have some sort of a menage a trois, like you said. Only they all seem to think nobody knows about this and that...

I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with this beauty: http://www.ikebe-gakki.com/goods_detail.php?g_id=38300 I was going for a Talbo till I stumbled across this Zemaitis version and couldn't get it out of my head. Apparently these are built by Greco. The Fishman piezo is...

Blazing Fire IS a Talbo. Just one of the many variations. But there's no real definition of Blazing Fire that I've been able to work out; I saw an acrylic see-through version of a Talbo called Blazing Fire, so your guess is as good as mine...

Finally found one, less than a kilometer away! Can you believe that? And it cost me Nothing. Or next to nothing; I traded a Morley Classic Wah that I'd used once in a project, plus a Danelectro Rocky Roads that I tried once in a rehearsal two weeks ago and instantly decided it wasn't for me. So...

Hi Mike, just tracked down a Metal Driver in France for ?100,-. Read some reviews, and from what I've read your tip was dead-on. Thanks a million for that. I'll keep looking out for that Chorus on a daily basis... That should keep me busy for the next couple of weeks. :D

Hi Javelin, I'm watching that Delay on eBay, but I'm hesitating to make a bid because it's been modified. There's another one on 'offer' for $80 (bu it now option). I'll have to sleep on it. Thanks for the tip about the Metaldriver, I'll keep a look-out. Do you have any experience with the...

I was a fool. But , to my defence, I was young and inexperienced. To make a long story less boring; I had a Tokai TCH-1 and sold it ten years ago. Now I want it back. Not THE one, just ANY TCH-1 will do. Here in the Netherlands, that's a near impossible quest. So I thought I'd try here. And...
