Tokai LP ALS37S – Music Express Canada

Has anyone shopped here for Tokai guitars?

I have been there twice with GC forum member @Hamstrung as Brantford is not far from K-W.
If you want to have some fun, look up the address on street view.

Ha! I see what you mean. Well, he seems to be an enterprising guy, so you can't fault someone for that.

...he seems to be an enterprising guy

His enterprise takes up most of the rooms in the house.
They are packed with all sorts of gear!!

I might look into it, I work in Brantford, so it’s not more than a few minutes out of my way.

Sort of reminds me of the store I bought my first few guitars at. The guy turned his upstairs into his guitar shop and was pretty much just a Fender dealer.. any other brand in the store was used.

That's what I was wondering. Are these real Tokai's from Japan?

i HEARd (but dont actually know this) that they are s.korean. if it's true, then it's possible. if they're chinese, then no, not at the price they are asking.

 

[sulphur]

No, they must be MIC for those prices.

It seems that he might be a bit shady. Buyer beware.

No they are not.

They're not even mahogany. For $500 more you could get an MIJ Tokai. For the price he's asking I'd much rather have and Epi Les Paul.

For that price or less, you can get a custom LP with a real 3/4" maple top, your choice of pickups, bridge, neck, frets, etc, etc. from Rondo.

Great ,a knock off copying a knock off whats next?

 

[allthumbs56]

I've seen fake Tokais. I've seen fake, fake Tokais. Unless it's old I'd stay away.

I had one from about 10 years ago. Was a decent guitar, didn't know what exactly it was when I first bought it. I know the difference now.
