Hey peeps, im new to this forum, and to forums in general but i think i get the jest.
Im looking to buy a GOOD Tokai, an i must stress that im not willing to just buy anything because i currently own a fairly good guitar and i want to get a better one, which is usually the whole point. Obviously what i call fairly good could be sh*te to someone else or whatever but basically I own an Ibanez RG570, and im told that its not like other Rg570's (my mate had one just like mine and apparently mine was better ?) i dunno if this is true, not to call him a liar or anythin, but when i have asked someone in the past they didnt know anything about it. Its apparently a limited edition, or maybe a custom built one. I do like this guitar very much, it has a very powerful crunch and a nice lead tone.
I would like to get a guitar that is better than the one i currently have, i mean its too good to get rid of, but its not enough lol I would like to get my hands on a good Tokai LS as i love the Les Paul but wud never pay THAT kinda money for one. Slash is my hero so obviously i need a Les Paul type guitar to get close to him!!
So after all tha borin cr*p im sure that no one is left readin this **** but i felt it was necessary to clear up y im being a bit specific....sorry, im perfectionist at heart, as well as a tw*t.
ANYWAY!! My question is quite simply this. How or where do i go to find a good Tokai?
Are the new ones still up to scratch and is it worth buying one?
I've done some research of my own obviously an im pretty sure that the better Tokai's were early 80's pre lawsuit but im not sure that the later(est) ones are gonna be worth a go. Im gonna be hard pressed to get a Tokai from that era as they are now so rare but i would settle for a new one if its worth it...
Look sorry guys for takin so much time, as i said im a newbie to all this but for anyone still at their desk and still awake and yet still reading this i thnk u simply for givin it the time of day.
Any responses would be greatly appreciated
