Ok, probably not an issue if you're on this forum right! But I have buddies that just have to have that Gibson or Fender name on the headstock. All my Nihonjin buddies wouldn't take a Navigator or a Tokai or a Greco if you gave it to them!
And that's cool, I can't fault them for that. I'm that way about certain things too I guess. But guitars, man, I'll play all the good ones. I don't care who's name appears on the headstock!
I have Edwards and Tokai and Fender Japan and Gibsons and they are all cool! I play out with my Tokai LS custom and actually have had guys come up and say "That's a copy!" like it was a filthy thing and I was busted! 8)
My #1 happens to be a Gibson standard that I stumbled into and the stars aligned on the day it was made. Just a '99 swiss-cheese standard but sound and playability-wise it's perfect?! I've had some really really bad Gibsons in my hands too (as I'm sure many of you have). Like the guys in Nashville were drunk!
I'm drawn to Tokai because of their consistency. As I'm sure many of you are. And I have a beautiful flame top for less than what I'd have to pony up for a new GIbbie standard.
