    Very good guitar, a few loan details

    Tokai SG 35Published on 04/19/11 at 04:36
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    I own the Limited Edition (bone nut, pickups a bit different from what I understand).
    Made in China
    TOM
    Channel 60's type C
    22 frets
    2 Humbuckers well pêchus
    Kluson type mechanisms (but ultimately not great at all)

    Mahogany body and neck (of beautifully crafted)
    Varnish top
    some elements not terrible finish (task tint on back)
    Inlays well done, nothing wrong

    Head Type "open book" a must:)

    Overall, one has to do a real nice guitar
    Bought € 235 (instead of 349) during the destocking GuitarXperts.

    UTILIZATION

    UTILIZATION

    It's an SG: head tipped forward.
    After this detail, no difference noted with Gibs'

    The mechanical tuning (yet pretty = Kluson) were changed quickly. They do not agree, it's horror.
    I put Kuson, but at this time Gotoh (37 € from memory).
    And there is nothing wrong with;)

    SOUNDS

    The big surprise! it sounds! :)
    I tested shortly before an SG Special Gibs (with a 490T), and very little difference to report.
    It is in Gibson sounds: it sent a good big crunch, and it ventures into the carefree 90's metal.
    In short, round and warm, I love it! : D
    Absolutely no need to change the pickups, they do not pale in comparison to Gibson pickups (I also).

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have been using a slow month.
    Like the OS, but not enough to make a lead guitar. So this is a 2nd (7th in reality!) To take some guitar concerts.
    Mechanisms must be strictly changed, starting in the budget then.
    Considering the price paid (235 € in destocking), she buries rivals.
    The normal rate, I will have first compared to SR guitars (same price, and better mechanical I think).

    In short, very happy with this guitar, I do it again this choice without any hesitation:)
