Value For Money : Excellent
- In what country does she makes? (USA, Japan, Mexico, France ...)
Japan
- How many frets, what kinds of microorganisms and their configuration?
22 frets, 2 P90 pickups types in neck and bridge positions, typical of what Les Paul
- What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)?
Standard Tune-O-Matic, the stop bar is somewhat DIFFERENT from those I&#39;ve seen on most easels LP, but increases a little cluck vintage and seems very reliable.
Edit: The bridge is a Gotoh, not bad even <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="wink" />
- What are the rglages (volume, tonality slecteur micro ...)?
A volume knob and one Tone for each pickup, a slecteur three positions all there from classic to this kind of scratch.
- What kind of stick?
Al Channel is halfway between 50 and Gibson is 60 I&#39;ve tried. He has the finesse of a handle 60 with the cot very rounded 50. Brief but happiness: p

To note, if you want a Les Paul type guitar is perfect if you want a floyd guitar with active pickups, you are your wrong MODEL ^ ^ I put 10 because I see nothing criticize the character of the beast.

UTILIZATION

- The handle is it pleasant?
If you like a handle that you feel good in your hand, then yes it is perfect. Halfway the 50 and 60 in Gib &#39;as I have specific on top, it helps to have a handle that gives a good grip, and that even if these past are small sizes.
This is not a highway, however, crazy shredders go your way, this guitar will not help you: p
- CASC to acute (latest freight) is it easy?
It&#39;s a Les Paul, should I dvelopper more? The shape lends it does not and can interfere heel pass the 15th box, but by putting it on his knee can resolve the problem.
- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
L is still an LP, with its advantages and inconvniants. The slecteur is not very well located (I sometimes cum shots in when I play, a surprise ^ ^). Weight, wha&#39;s shoulder! must prvoir a very wide strap, if possible antidrapante and strap locks to master the beast.
The form now, to be positive, bah crazy as Les Pauls, I find beautiful with her golden dress!
Ergonomics is not the strong point of the skyscraper, but achte not a Les Paul for a the new LATEST ^ ^
- Do you get easily a good sound ...?
Configuration bit complex: two microphones, we Selects either one or the other or both, a lil game on the volumes and tones and it has the sound you want. Difficult to get any easier having enough versatility.

I put 7 for ergonomic issues, even if for me it&#39;s not a problem, I like this model with its qualities and its default

SOUNDS

- Are they suitable your style of music?
I play mostly rock, hardcore and some bluesy riffs, it is ideally suited my style of music.
- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I have a Marshall Valvestate 8080, and I use add-ins in a Ds-1, a compressor Marshall, a Small Clone and a Big Muff
- What kind of sound you get and with what rglages ("crystalline", "fat ",....)?
The clean sounds of P90 are beautiful, especially in intermediate-and neck position, where each note is Dfine. The bridge pickup is a little more aggressive, I can play songs from AC / DC without effect with just the tonality back and have a powerful crunch on my Marshall (who is still in its clean)
Distortion in the P90 have a sacred potato! Tonn i was that mic with clear sound so pure refer such violence in distortion (good with my gear, not even in the sound "mtal" I EHJV but more violent in the very hard) Anyway the pickups are very versatile and really take the distortion, a very good point on this one for Tokai l.
- What are the sounds you prfrez that hates you?
There has not really tone that hates me, overall I like them all, but I have my little prefers:
Crunch: bridge pickup, tone 10
Bluesy: neck pickup, tone 0 (on solo pass the 12th fret, it has a sound very similar to a flute, it&#39;s pretty original and pretty)
Distortion in the three positions are usable by all is what we want to play

The thing for me is a 10/10 without hesitating!

OVERALL OPINION

- For how long have you been using it?
5 days only, but I play one two-hour and I made a BPS with a aprem. J&#39;diterai my mind later if I ever change of details
- What is the specific feature you like best, the least?
The +: A Goldtop P90 rises!
the - the weight
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
I was gone to buy a Gibson Les Paul Standard, I pass the APRS twelve o&#39;clock to try different models. I test a few standards, classics, and even the standard 2008 that I have not liked at all (no sound clean and clean ... bof bof, but a big favorite on the plate transparent electronic Behind lets see ^ ^). And I see a bunch of small Tokai, especially a Goldtop with P90 (my dream). I talk with the seller, I try and ... I came away with!
- How do you report qualitprix?
She easily beam Gibson standard I&#39;ve tried, for half the price! (And then a Goldtop with P90 standard, has not it seems to me there in gib &#39;, unless I&#39;m mistaken ...)
Wholesale price report quality is super! (Besides my seller gave me a tui, what more?)
- With the exprience, you do again this election? ...
OOOh yes! Surely I will redeem the future of Tokai, this brand really makes copies of quality and deserves to be somewhat more diffuse (though not, as has y&#39;en more for me ^ ^)

Edit: I&#39;ve had about ten months now, I pretty rpt with, and if you put the weight of the beast of cot is when even a terrible scratching ! Since then, a lot of guitars I have passed through the hands of the range of upscale brands, and every time I miss a little something from the Tokai. I&#39;m not saying she doing its compression of the dough at Gibson, but when even she holds the road well!

EDIT, a year after purchase: I pass on an amp lamps (Orange AD30HTC), which has the potential rvl the beast. The knobs are very specific on and greatly affect the final rendering. I redcouvert the tone of acute microwave, which worked wonders. The sound is very presents, lots of meds, one feels that the guitar is really l. In short, I still love so much, but I think I get in a Telecaster adjuncts to tickle the most aggressive. In any case, I think still keep very long, I see myself without this little Japanese!
