😁 cool, glad I cleareed that up.

very nice guitar indeed.

If you can get some shots of it outside... that I'd like to see. 😎

& also the tokai is lovely... still keeping an eye out for one of them.

Weren't they made in the same factory as the fender strats or something like that ??? Heard they play just as nice if not better than many early fenders.

not entirely sure about being made in the same factory to be honest but i've heard that they nearly had a lawsuit on their hands because they were making them so much like the Fenders. Very believable too, mine plays beautifully. Just as nice as my friends Fender.

That's probably what I was thinking off to be honest. 😡😆

toaki, Ibanez and fernandes/Burny were the three major "law-suit" companies. with the 70's having exact copies, and the 80's seeing small changes in headstock design to make money while lawsuits are in litagation.

but basically any guitar made in the 70-80's from any one of those 3 companies were close enough to the fender/gibson product to actually make them worry. (they didn't give a crap at first)... but after awhile it became apparent that people were getting a much better deal with the copies.
