I don't think I should explain... If Tokai's were as good as Gibsons why would people even buy a Gibson? Why would Gibson even be around if Tokai were "just" as good?
Let's get real here people, people like them for their warmness and tone, tokai gets close but in the end is an imitation.
You can't tell me that I am the only one here that when he picks up an expensive guitar, it puts a phycological advantage over the cheaper guitars? In other words...when you hold a Gibson, you KNOW its a Gibson...
I may be wrong, but let the feel of the guit guide you... I'm a brand GAS *hore I guess?
Heritage. Same as when you buy a Ferarri, you're not just buying a car, you're buying into a part of a dynasty.
Lets get real, what the hell are the differences between the slabs of mahogany and maple, and how they're put together? They're both trying to emulate the same thing, both buying wood from the same place, both using the same construction techniques.
Definitely not. That's one of the aspects that create the appeal of bespoke and high end guitars. I guarantee you if I handed you a super premium range Tokai, it'd be as good as any Gibson you have played.
@Ez 2 posts down, you're right we're way outta place here ☹ Our bad.
