It seems that the customs officials in my country like to inspect the shipments in detail, even those delivered by courier services - namely, the guitar arrived in 4 days, but the customs officials kept the guitar for two weeks! A shame. So it's a satin black E-EX73 BB, based on the serial...

Oh yeah, that price here is pretty high for a guitar that isn't really appreciated compared to Gibson, Fender, Dean... or ESP. I don't think the dealer is really capable of providing us with any additional details... you can see that he didn't even take the guitar apart, so that you can see the...

That's a Goldstar. Probably from around 1984? Not sure what those pickups are? Not sure, the person selling the guitar is an "ordinary guitarist", he doesn't know the details, and the condition of the guitar doesn't seem like he really took care of it. He probably ran out of ideas and the...

A black one, 1991-92 IMHO, unknown truss rod condition, frets seems enough good for daily operation, working electronics, dusty and dirty but ... Strat lover, here is. Price? 1,500€. HERE

Thank you for your kind and practical advice! Although this process may sound easy like "just like cooking beans" to some, it can still lead to the destruction of the guitar or put the guitar in such a condition that it is no longer desirable.

Thank you.. I think that this process would go the best with the stain: nice, pitch black fretboard, dark like a white shark' eye :cool: 😃

Uh, I know about that.. but my Tokai hasn't arrived yet, I can't measure it (BTW I already have a Gibson Explorer) so I wanted to "buy some time" and order a new pickguard until the new guitar arrives.

In a few days I should have my copy of the Tokai EX73, satin black, as a classic Gibson Explorer, and I would like to change the white pickguard - is it the same size and hole arrangement as the Gibson model, because I have already seen some ready-made ones on offer in online stores which would...

A man with a lot of information - respect! (y)

Forgive me if the question is stupid, but during my short journey into the world of Japanese guitars, especially Tokai models, I noticed that some Les Paul models, although very beautiful at first glance, nice burst transitions, are relatively cheap (around €600) while others two or three times...

You're very lucky, I wish I was in your position. In this moment I'm mostly focused to Explorer shape (Gibson, Edwards, Tokai, Burny, maybe Grass Roots, so), some well preserved Les Pauls by Orville and Edwards ( I doubt I can get a Les Paul model like the Standard, Classic, Classic Antique or...

Yes, I bought some things brand new, such as Thomann - the price of the used guitar on eBay was higher than the new one, and why should I throw away a couple of hundred and guess what condition the guitar is in and whether the seller will take it back. But in general, I can't do that anymore and...

I absolutely said this without a shadow of a doubt, I believe what you said a moment ago, but I'm still a noob in the world of exotic guitars and only after looking at a manufacturer's prices do I look at "what" it's made of. Every day I learn something new and until now I didn't even think...

Together with my guys I made a Les Paul Custom replica from kit elements. As it happens, the guitar is pitch black, but its fingerboard is some kind of rosewood, and it annoys me terribly. The sound is OK, that's all, but it somehow differs from a completely black guitar, so I was thinking about...

I believe it's true, Korina models are God **** expensive! Never played any of them, just I can believe that they sounds better than "plain" mahogani. I have a Strat with ebony f'board and since then I search for white Exp with ebony f'board... but rare and very expensive in comparison with...
