    Hi there. I'm Neil from South East England, UK. Have been playing around with guitars for about 15years now. First guitar was a Burny Les Paul style guitar similar to the black Joe Perry Gibbo signature. That started me on my love of MIJ twangers. I've now amassed an assorted collection of MIJ...

    Really gotta appreciate the Japanese Craftsmanship

    After nearly a year with my Tokai LS136F, I am really appreciating the Japanese craftsmanship. The neck profile is so comfortable, the pots are already some nice 500k linear tapers, tidy wiring, nice shielded cavity, and has literally no cosmetic flaws. The only gripe I have would be the pickups...

Here’s the same item but from 2014 on reverb, and...

    Greco SA-90 or Tokai ES100R

    Both have recently popped up on my local Craigslist. The main difference is a headstock break on the Tokai so I’m not quite sure if it'd be worth it or if I should rather go for the Greco. This is the Tokai

    EDIT: Been trying to insert a link to the actual listing. But apparently it was considered spam so this thread wouldn't post...figured I had to save the pics and paste 'em here. Considering to pull the trigger on this Super Real era SS500, the TRC and logo seem a bit confusing though. Lots of...

    MIC Tokai Tuner Size

    Dear all, I own a Chinese Tokai Les Paul Special (yellow with two P90 pickups), that I bough in 2020, with "Limited Edition" written on the headstock. I love the sound but I have had tuning issues since the beginning. I took it to a tech for a set up, which improved things a bit, but I still...

    MIJ 3-Pup Black Beauty LPs

    What I'm essentially looking for is a (MIJ) 57-ish Black Beauty LP, and I've seen a few of these (especially early 80s Greco EGC57-60s) pop up on reverb every now and then...has anyone ever owned one (or maybe a Tokai/Burny equivalent of these)? There seem to be a couple of 3 pup Grecos and...

    NGD 2010 Tokai Love Rock LS 105Q HDC

    So I haven't really been posting in these parts lately, as I'd gotten more or less all the MIJ LPs that I'd thought I'd wanted or needed (in addition to a couple of Gibbys, all but one of which wound up getting flipped) and been exploring the S-type side of things for a while. One of those...
