Good story mate :D I found mine in a small shop this local luthier had were I got my guitar worked on back around '85. He had a bunch of Fernandes and Tokais...mostly fender clones, I think. Except this one beautiful cherryburst. I checked it out. I asked how much.....he says $300. Brand...

Hi.... I've been reading about how in the neck pup cavity theres supposed to be something written on the end of the neck joint. I have a 1984 cherry sunburst (I believe) TLS. Mine has just a circle written on it. Is there some meaning to this? Thanks Boy, reading through some of these...

Hi I'never was crazy about the abr type tuneomatic (with the retainer clip). So a ways back I put on a nashville tuneomatic. The only thing about the stock bridge and the nashville I put on is that in order to raise the strings high enough, the bridge goes a bit higher than the posts so the...

Thats interesting guys. When I had some single coils rewound the person that did it (he does great work so it didn't bother me that he messed up) I noticed a peculiar sound. What happened was he put 5 of the pole pieces in correctly but on one the magnet was reversed for the other 5. After I...

Thanks again. I see that they are not exact with the body shapes/headstock.... funny how having certain patterns (the golden ratios?) make them look weird. Horn too rounded...horn too sharp... yuck :wink: Okay...I'm off of dillion :D

Thanks marcusnieman, I'll look into that. By the way, no offense taken. :D Aside, isn't there another brand on that Tokai/edwards level.... I think the name is Dillon or Dillion? Know anything about them?

HI Rupert, thanks....yeah that guitar is staying with me! :wink: I'm getting a new nut installed...I'm just waiting for new bridge saddles to arrive. I'm putting some graphtech saddles on. Then once I have it back all strung up I'll take some pics. The only thing is that my little digi cam...

Thanks guys. If you happen to have a url on hand that has these wiring mods....but please don't go through any trouble. I was just pointing out that these (or at least mine) doesn't have that "true" LP tone....at least the tone I know of. I also was reading that thread about "Tokai vs...

Thanks rgrafend. :D According to the info on this site: The following model numbers map to certain years. * LS models from 1976/77 to 1982/83 * TLS models from 1983 to 1989 * ALS models from 1985 to 1986 or late - US Market only * LS models from 1995 to present are...

In what way? <confused>

Yeah, Gary Moore has great tone. Especially the kind that I know from his "still got the blues' album. Don't really care for that really muted tone with the tone all the way down...I like a lot of bite/attack. But that could be the tone for a lot of humbucker guitars really. Where I see the...

So you're the welcome wagon :P

Hi, I just joined and was looking up how to date a tokai. Mine has a serial stamped on the back of the headstock. The first three numbers are 402. I understand this would make it an '84. What I'm confused about is that it also says there are designations such as "LS" and TLS". Is this...

Howdy. I came upon this forum while searching for info on edwards *cough* guitars. Anyway, I'm glad this forum exists. So, while I'm at it I might as well ask some things. I have a beautiful Love Rock cherry sunburst LP standard ( I'll try and post a pic at some point) It's currently out of...
