Hello everybody (my first post),
I am looking fo a SG60 or SG70. I watched two on ebay, but had no lucky hand. In general I prefer a used/played guitar, but I already found some online dealers in Europe. Price differs alot, from ~700 ? to ~1000 ?. Has anybody dealt with Tokai Spain? The main page does not work, but the link below.

I already own a SG copy, made by Epiphone. I tuned everything but the wood, frequently comparing it with the Gibson SG of a friend, kind of an ongoing workshop regarding div. guitar and amp tweaks. The result is a nice sounding guitar, resonant, with overtones, good sustain and very good definition. But compared to the Gibby it lacks dark- and deepness and it stings more than it smokes. I put this difference on the different woods. In the Epi the neck has a very light wood, more like maple, the body seems to be also no mahogany. Anyhow, I am hooked on the SG tone, so any support to find a Tokai SG is much appreciated. I want to go for a Tokai, because I like the pickup mounting and the price/value relationship more than the G' standard version
Best regards
Martin
