Cuthbert, it looks amazing! I bought the first Gibson Collecter's edition guitar; I had dreamed of owning a Peter Green copy for years, when I finally got it, I was really shocked. There were a few things I hated about it, the worst was that the cap actually overlapped the mahogany back, not by...

Yes, that's quite true; however, I didn't think that Custom's had a cap of any kind, I thought they were solid mahogany, unlike the Goldtops or Standards? I could well be wrong about this.

Hey Cuthbert, Remember that Gibson also make 'shameful' copies of three pickup Customs too! The only difference is that their shameful copies have the same name on the headstock! I want to get a Tokai 1955 copy, a Japanese one,, the Black Beauty, the one with the P90 and Staple pickups, fit it...

Hello Luis, There is another large Korean pickup manufacturer, G&B, I originally thought the MK4's were made by them, but on closer inspection they just didn't look like G&B's. It's not mahogany. The model is i think an ALS48, from around 2004? I think that the body is made from Alder, three...

Thank you JVsearch, I was trying to thin the finish on the top and went through the cherry red... where it graduates into the yellow... so I had no choice but to take all the red off, then I was left with... yellow! I'm happy with the top, but removing the back and neck finish was not the...

Hello Luis, "I guess it could be Artec made because two holes in upper rigth and down left diagonal...." Oooh! Normally I read a lot of posts before acting, but reading yours I was immediately impressed by the reference to holes in certain places... that's attention to detail! Do you know if...

Hello Cuthbert, Good question! :) Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to hear these pickups, the guitar wasn't working when I bought it, the jack had a problem; I then dismantled it to work on the body and neck. I had bought this guitar with the plan to strip it of hardware and electrics to...

Hello there, In my opinion, judging by the truss rod cover, it's most definitely not Japanese, my guess is either Korean or Chinese. I don't think the Korean models have serial numbers, this one does, so I will plump for Chinese (going by the pictures, which of course are surely displayed in...

I bought a Tokai Love Rock on eBay. Using the dating guide on this forum, it looks like a 2003 or a little later, judging by the truss rod cover and stamp on the rear of the headstock 'Made in Korea' There is no serial number. However, there isn't a dimple on the open-book headstock! Could...

Hello everyone, I bought a rather sad-looking Korean Love Rock on eBay some time ago. This guitar has had quite a hard life, an ideal project guitar. I was looking for a guitar that I could upgrade on a budget, so really perfect for my needs. When I started to look for information about these...
