    Tokai goldstar sound

    Warning to all users here. This guitar has issues. It needs a refret badly. I have seen this guitar. He is under the impression that its worth $900 :) But I think with the EMG pickups * horrible * in my opinion and the bad neck that needs a refret $250 minimum = $450 to $500 tops. The best part...

    Tokai ST-80 E series pickups for sale set of three

    I dont plan on reselling this guitar. Its a great playing guitar I do love the sound of the pickups but I like the EMG SA pickups for my style of playing just a bit more. I dont buy guitars to just collect and resell I buy them to play. So devaluing the guitar does not really concern me. There...

    What is this guitar and how old is it?

    Some of the frets were 0.25 from the fretboard at that point you really cant level and recrown them. So I had to replace them. My tech said the fretboard also had a slight bump he could get it out but it would change the radius. That was not a big deal to me we are talking about removing about...

    What is this guitar and how old is it?

    I guess I dont buy guitars to collect them I buy them to play them. This guitar was great I have quite a few 7.25 stats that play great with low action I am a very light touch player.. So I can get away with lower action. As for the value I think the fret job will increase the value not decrease...

    What is this guitar and how old is it?

    My tech only uses Nitro and he did the "test" and its nitro. Its very thin the finish. Man I tell you I have had JV strats and SQ strats and tele's but nothing compared to this guitar NOTHING.. it might as well be a real 54 strat.. I have played real 54's they sound great and play great just...

    What is this guitar and how old is it?

    The old 7.25 radius is very good for chords.. But when you want super low action the flatter the radius the better your action can be when you bend up.. On the 7.25 you can only go so low before the note choke out. If you look at all the new fender guitars not that I like new fender guitars :)...
