The vintage Tokai is a great guitar, but there is one thing I personally don't like. This is a silver dot position mark used on a rosewood fingerboard.
Far from the color and atmosphere of the original clay dots, I feel that it destroys the overall impression. The black dot position on the maple fingerboard is not out of place.
The ES type also uses real mother-of-pearl and has a sense of dignity, while Gibson's original is a pearloid dot.
Why did Tokai use the silver dot position on the rosewood fingerboard? Only there is a long way from the "replica".
Am I the only one who feels this way?
