The last couple of Tokai strats I've purchased have been of the 56' variaty with the maple neck. I go for the aged yellow/orange finish . Yesterday I picked up one of my 62' slab Toks which I hadn't played in a long time and fell in love all over again! The tone was much warmer and the whole vibe of that guitar was so sweet! I love them all, but for that Little Wing/ Axis/ SRV tone thay aint nuttin like a slab of rosewood! Play on Brother! :wink: TG
