Tokai Guitars

I have been reading quite a bit about Tokai guitars, but have never seen them anywhere... I am curious to know who sells them in the Western Cape and what do...

Tokai Guitars

I Agree With Shreddy.

I don't have anything negative or positive to attribute here purely from the lack of Tokai experience. I demo'd a Love Rock LS160 and my first impression was...... Pretty Solid guitar in terms of feel and response.

Agreed !!! This thread is becoming as boring as watching paint dry. I think .... "Sigh, my girlfriend dumped me, please help!! " was more fun! :?

Id just like to know why tokai only have an es 330 shape hollowbody and not a prs shape hollowbody too.
I mean, they already have that range solid bodies?!

LOL, Easy fix that. find a new girl, then sandpaper her name off and change it to your ex.

Problem solved. ?

Hmmm, I'm a bit late to this thread. I don't own a tokai, but used an LS95 on a few tracks on our upcoming single. Sounded good, played great and translated well to "tape". I've also lusted after a GS118 which would've been the mutts nuts when I still worked in the RnB scene.

Is there a huge difference between the LS92 and the LS160/LS150?

The finish is different. The LS160 has nitro and the LS92 has poly...
The saddles on the LS160 are made from brass and the tail piece from Aluminium, unlike the Nickel chrome(I guess?) of the LS92
The pickups are the same PAF MK2's
The body on the LS160 is a one-piece mahogany vs a two-piece for the LS92
The switch, pot and jacks on the LS160 are slightly better and it features a sprague orange drop condensor which the LS92 doesn't have.
I stand corrected, but I think the LS160 has a different neck joint as well, and Gotoh tuners.

You can check the specs below on the Tokai website UK and SA:

The LS160 is basically built exactly like a '50s Les Paul. The LS98 sticks to the same principles but cuts costs with a two piece body and less costly hardware.

Hi all.
I bought my first Tokai from Lance just on Tueseday and I can say I am more than pleased (coming from a PRS). I did split the humbuckers for more versatility for my selection of cover songs. I am looking for a spare bridge humbucker as mine is not working correctly. I am in Gauteng area

tumad I'm sure if you chat to Lance, he'll sort you out with a replacement pickup, he's very cool like that ?

Tokai for the win. Every time
