Guest DustyDeviada Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Just quoting myself there to show what I actually said' date=' rather than being told that I claimed to know about these 300 guitars.[/quote']I'll let you off then, it seems the real offender in terms of misinformation here is Eriktarka.Tokai's ain't made from Chipboard!I'm sure he'll drop in soon to offer his grovelling apology.

GraemeC Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 But he said they werent made of chipboard and clearly they are not if they are made of ply, so what does he have to apologise for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DustyDeviada Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Ach well, same difference. In fact I think you should now apologise for extreme pedantry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MKII Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 The japanese Tokai's DO have a good reputation, you're just being a snob and picking out the Korean versions. Gibsons are good, but they are not worth the money they go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I was doing is pointing out what they are made of.And I think Gibsons are worth the money, provided you pay the right price, ie not R&B Music/Bruce Millers prices. The prices in the links on the first page are good value for money in my book, and I bought my two Les Pauls in the US where it's even cheaper.

Jeid Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 ChipboardPlyHaha... pwned!Anyway, I was not aware that the Korean models were made from chipboard. Let me retort.What about the Japanese ones? The Korean ones are lower quality as you'd expect.I'm gonna have to do some further investigation into the Jap ones.

Guest DustyDeviada Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Chipboard, plywood, pah. OK, so I failed techie.The lower priced Japanese ones seem to have a two piece mahogany body, plain maple cap with flame maple veneer/laminate.The more expensive (ie same price as a Gibson) have one piece body with a flame maple top and nitro finish. I think they also have the long neck tenon, but that's a whole different argument. Some of them seem to have maple necks like the 70s Gibsons.

spbear5 Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 I'd say go down to R and B/Bruce Millers and try a bunch of guitars' date=' then see if you can find them cheaper...[/quote']Absolutely, "Try before you buy" is always the best way. One of the best guitars I ever played was a mates Rickenbacker, which I wouldn't have given the time of day to otherwise. You might surprise yourself with what you find to be the perfectly set up guitar for you, don't limit yourself to certain brands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paime Posted April 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 ok, sop a lot of you are saying that a good guitar ages well and perhaps even gets better - does that mean that buying a second hand one might be an option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Don't be scared by second hand, but it is very important to try it first. Also, amke sure there isn't some fault with the guitar, and that's why they're selling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paime Posted April 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 is a private sale the best option or is there some super shop filled with lovely second hand guitars that are trustworthy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
