Good afternoon
Firstly just to say a great forum here - been a huge source of excellent information.
I am new to the Tokai forum and having read about the great value Tokai guitars are - read many posts on here and decided to take the plunge and bought an LS150. I own a few Gibson Les Pauls and this is the first time I have owned a Tokai.
Firstly, I love the sound of this guitar, the way it feels and plays - fantastic!
There are two issues with it and I wondered if this is common.
On the main body of the guitar, there is only what can be described as a dimple - its actually in the maple top as the lacquer covers it perfectly. Its small, but there just the same. Secondly, there is a small nick in the binding, again under the lacquer finish.
Given the price for one of these (not cheap) and the reputation of a MIJ guitar, I am a bit disappointed and would like to invite some feedback.
Thanks
Mark
