Very nice! I love the colour/figuring in the body. Looks awesome. I have always loved Les Pauls, but finding a decent one new today is a very hard task. That one looks lovely though! Congrats.

Hey Heka, nice guitar!

I see that you are in Finland. What are the guitar prices like there? I guessed they'd be high, but I figured I'd ask, since I'll be in Finland for a conference in July.

Did you get this from Ishibashi?

I was wondering about the quality of the Tokai guitars and have never seen one here in Pittsburgh.

Looks wonderful!

Tokai guitars are lovely. Especially the earlier "Love Rock" models. They are really sweet guitars, tonnes better than Epiphones - and can sometimes give a Gibson a good run for its money. They deserve a better rep really.

Thanks guys. The quality of the guitar is ok I think but nothing like a real Gibson. Bought it for 670€ used. Tokais are widely available here in Finland. You can check some pricing from the homepage of the importer:

No it isnīt. If I remember correct they pay Gibson for their license.
