Re: Tokai
I've never heard of them but I'm going to take this chance to look them up.
Since joining this board I've discovered Agile and Wesley guitars.
Hi-quality knock-offs of the expensive models for lower prices...

Re: Tokai
Back in the 70s I would have told you Tokai was just another Japanese wannabee imitating Gibson and Fender. However the good news is that in the last 3 decades Tokai have built a solid reputation for quality and many of those maligned 70s copies ('Love Rock Model', 'Springy Sound' !) are reckoned to be better than equivalent era models. There's even a fan registry site;
Saw a modern Tokai at the 'Music Inn' the other day and although I didn't have time to plug in and play it had a nice feel and finish, good to hold.
