I agree with @Sigmania that I wouldn’t trust the shop you bought your tokai from as far as I could throw your tokai! But nonetheless, I don’t know where in the U.K. you are (I’m in Hampshire) but andertons and gak are great shops both online and in the flesh to get strings and headphone amp...

They’re actually pretty good, but again only for very good money. I’ve never paid more than £50 for one, but still played gigs and recorded with them absolutely stock. They are not the same shape as a strat, so standard pickups and scratchplates don’t fit. The stock pickups are wider and...

I’d put money on it either being an old Indian made sunn mustang or an encore. Both were made at the same time in the same factory by the same people using the same parts and are generally identical other than the name on the headstock. I’ve had several of them, I actually like them quite a...

That looks like a sunn mustang or encore.

I’d bet that was chrome

I know it’s a non premium lowly model compared to many that I see on here, but I absolutely love this guitar. Build quality, fit, finish, feel and sound absolutely compares to any gibson or fender (or any other brand) I’ve had before. The serial numbers are barely visible on new tokais, it’s...

I’ve got a 2023 LS144s, will take some photos and upload them in a bit

Oh yeah this is the one I was thinking of!

I remember a while ago a thread about an unusual all blue (even headstock) love rock. Here’s another one, unless it’s the same one… https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226037952095?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=RAbXFNirRXe&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=ktfja3-ssry&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

That korina one is amazing! I’ve never once actually measured a guitar neck, and honesty it never Used to bother me but I had a 2013 Gibson sg standard which was essentially a 61 reissue and the neck was small, too small for my ham hands. I’m aware that basically any small guard SG (from...

Although I’ve just noticed the closed ‘o’ in Greco on the one I’ve seen on eBay. Hmm

I’m not sure, this is what I’d read before assuming it was an SS600. https://solidguitar.fandom.com/wiki/Greco_SS It says that the name changed to SS63-55 in 1988, briefly back to ss600 in 1990 and then finally to SS-65 in 1992. The crown inlay with the rounded bottom bit is referred to as...

I read that they did that for a while, but I can’t see the centre of a pancake in the photos of the guitar taken from (of) the body strap pin. What was the neck like on your Greco? I’m wanting to find an SG with a big neck. Not like ridiculous, but not slim taper. I’ve seen soooo many nice...

I’ve been reading a lot the last couple of days, I want a Japanese SG and seen this. From what I have read so far, with the lack of serial number and shape of the control plate I believe means this was made by tokai in the early 90s. The crown inlay has the rounded bottom bit, which I think...
