I own a Burny made by Tokai Black Beauty from 1978. It has Gibson Classic 57 pickups and sound great. Much better than a Gibson LP of that time. So, I wanted a similar era guitar with p90. I found (what I though was a 1981) guitar on Ebay.

I ordered it a few days ago it had not arrived yet. I was looking more today and I fucked up the dating. 1xxxxxx, 1xxxxxx either a 81 or a 2010. Anyways, I way always under the impression you needed to get a 85 and earlier to get a great Tokai LP. Then I started looking around in the past hour and a lot of people say they like the modern 2000-2017 guitars. I already ordered new Duncan p90 pickups a case and a few other things. What do you guys think about a 2010 Tokai LP vs a older 85 and earlier?
I have three options here get the guitar and install the new pickups etc. Do not accept the package when it shows up and get my money back on Ebay. Or keep the guitar as is and save the pickups etc for another older Tokai later on.
