I broke the headstock of one of my LP Tokais :cry: It is not a bad crack at all and I know it can be fixed. The headstock needs to be glued and re-finished with nitro. Unfortunately, in the part of the world where I live there is no body doing this kind of work. I would like to find out...

I won't say the model number yet :lol: This is a 3.920 gr (8.64 pounds) Tokai Les Paul but it is not stated what kind of wood is the body. It is even lighter than some of custom shop Gibsons and it is not weight relieved. Can an African mahogany be so light?

I wanted independent volume pots for each pick up of my Strat style guitar and I did a wiring with three pots; from each pick up to each pot, from each pot to a 5 way switch and from switch output to output jack (grounds apart). The problem; whenever two pick ups are on at the same time -...

What are your favourite strat pick ups? What models do you think are the best?

Just I came across this picture. No further personal comment.

Lately Bacchus has a lot of buzz but, what other japanese guitar makers are getting good criticisms or reviews? :grin:

Sorry, I know this question has been posted before but I just can't find the thread. I'm trying to find the previous equivalent numer model for the current LS150, LS195 (the 2006 LS150), LS250, LS370 and LS470. I know that LS470 was previously LS120/320 and perhaps "Reborn" but no idea about...

I love the Keiyo mkIIset that came in my 2006 LS85f and I wonder what is Keiyo in Japan. Is it a famous or well reputed builder or one of those unknown small producers?

I did this yesterday and I still didn't get used to it :D , maybe it's a bit overdone, I don't know. Tuners are aftermarket Gotoh Klusons. I wanted to change the stock set because one of the machines badly kept the string in tune 2 minutes. Regarding the discussion we had about Gotoh vs...

Somebody posted this youtube on my forum; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-M1hlFiCMY Around minute 3:00 the guy shows the back of the guitar and it is a 3 pieces body. Are all new Tokais coming like this one?

Hi! What size are the Love Rock frets? 6150 jumbo or 6130 medium-jumbo? BTW, 1959 Les Paul standard were 6130, right?

It seems Epiphone just discontinued Elitist series :cry: Does anyboy know what's going on?

Hi! I'm trying to find out what guitar makers moved or are gradually moving their production facilities from Korea to China. Some of them are quite obvious; Tokai, Epiphone, there was a controversial thread about Edwards in this forum, any one else? Do you know the name of these chinese...

Hi! Is this wiring diagram ok? How would you wire the ground of the switch? straight to the jack ground?

Hi! First of all I have to say that I have new guitar; I swapped mkIIs of my ls85f for 57 classics, I installed all togps stuff; Faber kit, aluminium tail piece and a brass saddles bridge + I rewired doing a 50s de-coupled mod with bumblebees repros. I think the Faber hardware it's a great...

Hi! It seems there are more than one "50s wiring" :lol: Which one is the real 50s wiring? The first one? I'd like to try a "de-coupled" mod because I like to mix the pick ups using the volume pots. What do you think is better? the second or the third one?

Hi! I have just received a set of 57/57+ classic pick ups and perhaps the answer to my question is too obvious bu just in case I'm wrong; If I'm not wrong, the silver cover of the pick up wire is the grounding of the pick up. How do you connect this cover and the back of the pot? do you just...

Since I have to rewire my guitar, I think I could try some of these capacitors but I'm not going to expend 200$ in each cap. :D I could get some 0.010s or 0.015s NOS bumblebees for 10-20$. As far as I know they drift with the time and they actually will read around 0.020s. Or I could go...

What do you think of a Burstbuckers 1 & 2 set for classic 70s sound like Free, Bad Company, AC/DC... ? and why Gibson 59ri users are throwing this set away?

Hi! :D I'm considering changing my LS85f stock pickups for a Gibson set but I'm not sure of what to choose. I want a classic 70s sound like Free, Bad Company or even AC/DC, I rarely use this guitar for clean tones. I'm aware that the Gibson's 59ri has Burstbuckers 1 & 2 but then it's the...
