My friend, the one who I made the other thread for went to the shop today and quite liked this guitar. It's a bolt-on and it's gonna cost him about a grand. Now before you go quot;WTFquot; keep in mind it's new zealand money. All those other recommendations turned out to be way out of his price range. schecter doesn't import to NZ, and esp has a hefty import fine or something cuz I recommended the ec-1000 and it's 2 grand over there. For perspective a jackson soloist is about 3500. The other guitar he was comparing it to was a jackson dinky with those jackson pu's that look like emgs. This guy plays everything from classic rock(with me) to metal to blues. Gotta cover the bases with this guitar and it's for his 21st birthday too so I mean- c'mon it has to be a nice guitar that will last. He told me he liked the way the tokai resonated and sounded thicker than the jackson which to me says he likes les paul tone. Will this be a good guitar for him or is it a mediocre copy? I've never played one and it seems like most the guitars I recommend are either sky high in price or not available, so yeah if any of you have played em let me know if it's a quality axe.

hmm, im from australia, and here you can get a set neck Monterey Les Paul for around 400, so that would be around 600 for you guys, and its set neck not bolt on. All depends whether Monterey import over there though.

haha, well I don't live in NZ- so that's why my recommendations didn't do him any good, but I've heard that bolt-on isn't necesarily a quot;low-endquot; thing anyway and that some people prefer it. I do prefer set necks though so I'm with ya on that.

Tokai have made some of the best Gibson and Fender copies in their time. The best ones come from the 80's but the modern ones are good too.

The best modern ones are made in Japan but the Korean ones are not to be sniffed at - I have a Korean 335 with Seths and I think its the bees knees. My hubbie has a 80's strat copy and would probably rather get rid of me than his Tokai - I jest not!

Go visit and for more info. The guys over there are really knowledgable and friendly.
