Hi...I am new to the forum and looking for information on my guitar.
I build amps and wanted a guitar to test with and learn to play.
I bought a reasonably priced cool USED SG style guitar back in 2008 maybe?
I paid between $200 and $300 at the time.
It has a Bigsby style trem on it that is exactly like a flat front Bigsby to the point that the parts are interchangeable, but has no name cast into it.
The auction stated that it had Seymour Duncan humbuckers but I have never removed them to look for ID. It also came with a set of Kent Armstrong P90 conversion Pickups ... and came with a nice gigbag.
It is SG styled but the body is shaped like an ESP Viper rather than the traditional shape.
It has the bump on the head stock, a three screw truss rod cover, MIK on the back, but HAS a serial number?
The fret board has binding but not the headstock and Tokai lettering looks very original and has a pearl look to it.
My point is I don't believe for the price I paid it would make sense it was a fake but I cannot find anything similar from Tokai anywhere on the net?
Any info would be appreciated.
