    Woohoo! First Tokai.

    I feel the need to make my guitar more twangy some times to get that sort of a P-90 tone out of it!Thats why I was thinking for a coil splitting thing!

    Pickup change?

    Ok!The thing is that the stock pickups are pretty decent,but they don't have four conductor wiring that I was looking forward too.I really want to have more tone versatility for coil splitting.So, what do you think? p.s. I play rock,hard rock,blues

    TOKAI LS 85 GT (2009)

    I bought a faber kit (tailpiece and brass saddles) from the german tokai site to help improve my all around sound.I changed my string gauge to 11-48's,and the action of the guitar is medium to low.I took the guitar twice to my guitar luthier to check it out and he said that the guitar is "done"...

    I bought the guitar via ebay from japan.So,its a liitle bit difficult for me to take it back as I live in Greece.How about the wird thing about the dc resistance of the pickups of being so low output?

    TOKAI LS 85 GT (2009)

    I've got a custom made compressor for sustain,but I have noticed that without it it should have a bit more sustain than a typical strat guitar. I'll post some pics soon!

    TOKAI LS 85 GT (2009)

    Maybe is the amp,I don't know(i'll check it out).Anyway,considering of the pickups what should I do?I was thinking to put some Humbucker P-90's with high output maybe that will help improve the sustain.I love single coil sound,with those would do any diffrence on my ls 85?

    TOKAI LS 85 GT (2009)

    Laney VC30 210 Full Tube is the amp.I am quite happy with it,as it takes many pedals without any problems or hiss!The other guitar that I have is a Fender stratocaster (alder) and its about the same sustain maybe a little bit more sustain with the Tokai.
