So I did the unthinkable and grabbed a Gibby Faded for under $500. Played it at rehearsal tonight. Now I need a Tokai SG so the search starts.

Where can we find these?

I'm headed to Europe (Amsterdam & York, UK) in a couple of weeks maybe I can find one there.

Hard to get, as Honduras mahogany is very hard to get. Roe ist waiting for his SG 155 since more then 6 months as far as I know! I would like to compare a SG75 to a 155, - to check how big the difference is! To me the 75?s are very good deal! 2 pieces of good sounding mahogany! (for the body)
good on ya, "ACY"

 

[Roe]

the SG155 is worth 3 times the price. a better value than my LS320. gonna try my highorder angus/EC pups (clone of late gibson patent number/early t top pups) soon!

 

[ACY]

Hi Roe!
Got it now? Pics?
good on ya, "ACY"

 

[Roe]

yes I've got it.

sorry no pics I've seen some pics of other SG155s though

 

[ACY]

So have fun with that baby!
cheers, "ACY"
