Hey guys, I'm not sure if there is such a topic around, so I apologise in advance if it's a duplicate thread.
What are the top of the range Tokai models? Just to make it more clear, what are the top models available from the Love Rock series, the Love Rock II Series, the SG Series and the AVT (Strat) Series?
The reason for my asking is because I am considering Tokai more, and more as a brand that I could see a lot of business with. I am still awaiting my first Tokai, a Love Rock LS70F (now the LS80F I believe) but, I have saw many a satisfied Tokai customer who gave nothin' but positive feedback in respect to the quality of their guitars, be it sound, build, finish, value for money, it's all good. Epiphone, nor Gibson share such a positive customer feedback, and on top of that Gibson are quite expensive and inconsistant in their build quality. Let's not lead off into that debate though. It all rests on how I personally take to my Love Rock, once it arrives, which should be any day now.
I made a thread about it, rather than just heading off to look myself because this opens up the stage for others to give their own personal insight, and views on whichever series/model they wish to comment on. Tokai seem to be a top brand, in the sense that they take great pride in their work, and as such a lot of time, care and effort goes into their guitars, at least from what I have read, and heard. They do seem to have the respect of a small, loyal, and ever growing customer base. What Tokai seem to be lacking, at least from what I can see, is purely the lack of big time interest, lack of popularity. Slap the name Gibson on a two by four, with elastic bands pulled tight over it and it would probably sell because of their high profile household name, y'know. Tokai don't have that but in terms of guitar build, sound and finish a lot do put Tokai right up there with the best of them, Gibson included, even ahead of them in recent times. Tokai are cheaper in price, because they have to be, they don't hold as much pull as Gibson do in the guitar market. I'd like to find out a bit more about Tokai, hence the asking. If their higher end models are of great quality, as in, rival Gibson's high end models, then I would have no problem sticking with Tokai.
On a side note, Tokai do seem to be gettin' a lot of attention from quite a few people now, I never noticed it before but they must do more than enough business. If Tokai are that good then I wanna get my hands on a few before popularity increases, which would no doubt merit a rise in prices too.
