Hi there, this is my first post and I've recently been reading about Tokai guitars.
I'm somewhat familiar with MIJ guitars, as I have a '91 Grecos es176 and an '81 Burny RR LPC. Both are stellar guitars.
I'm currently looking for a goldtop with P90s, and preferable a wrap bridge. I'm looking at new Tokais but would gladly consider a vintage, I'm just not seeing any for sale on the web.
It seems there are nooks and crannies though in the internet where people sell these guitars, so I'm all ears. Please let me know if you can clue me in to that end.
Vintage aside, I've been talking with "G-Club Produced by Kurosawa Music" via Reverb, as I asked them about this guitar that I've read on this forum they produced 3 of, the LS176s CTW Wrap Around 2022 Gold Top
They said they have no plans to produce that guitar currently. I asked what the difference is between that and the LS156s-WA (here) and they said the lacquer finish .
They also said "We can custom order again with similar specifications, but the price may be higher." So I've asked about the time and price.
I sure could use some guidance to whether or not there's something else I should be looking at, or if it's even advisable to pre-order with these folks(forgive my ignorance), or if there's a better avenue to pursue this.
Basically any advise on buying a goldtop for a newbie is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
