Hi everyone, I'm brand new to the forum so I thought I'd make a quick introduction along with a couple of questions.
Anyways, I'm a 21 year old Australian and have a huge love for music whether it be Piano, drums and of course guitar. I currently own a Rickenbacker 620 (imported from the USA) and an Epiphone Casino. Both of these guitars are my absolute pride and joy and I take very good care of them.
Recently I have been looking for a cheaper alternative to my Rickenbacker to gig and travel around with, or alternatively, to act as a backup. Being a full time student and thus lacking in funds, I started to take a look around the internet for cheaper replica alternatives, and stumbled upon Tokai. Some of the pictures and reviews I have read seem to be extremely positive, however information is still extremely scarce out there.
I'm basically in the market for a 325 or 350 replica, but I'm open to consider anything. My (extremely broad) question is; where do I start? I can't seem to find any sites which stock any of these guitars let alone finding anything local. I have also checked out the Dillion RG-40, and that seems nice, although there seems to be very little written up about the guitar in general.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
