@jdmarti100 psssst, don´t tell nobody! ;-) Yes, I can also play a cheapo and try to make it sound good, but you will notice differences, like sustain, harmonics, ... ! To me the japan made Tokais offer very nice wooden sounds, with nice sustain, and nice dynamics. And that´s a thing I found on all Tokais I had in my hands (japan made) , so my heart goes for Tokai!
@AcysLounge HELLO CAN YOU PRINT THE TABS TO THAT RIFF I HEAR THAT EVERY TIME I LOG ONTO UTUBE LOVE IT AND YOUR SOUND RULES DUDE I HAVE EDWARDS DONT LIKE THE PICKUPS SH1 SH4 GOT TO GET BURSTBUCKER IN THERE
Acy - perplexed by the tone of the "Rocka". 1:32 in, is that only the amp? No pedals? What kind of volume do you have here? I have a JMP 2104 and with a treble booster can get a great tone, different from this one though. You said it's based on the 2203 circuit but you must have pulled some "Acy mod" stuff?? Lovely tone it is!! Cheers - Jonas
@JonasSweden2 That´s just my fingers, the guitar, a cable, and the amp and cabinet ......., for sure! ;-) That´s exactly the 2203 circuit, "but" ... like a hot rodded Volkswagen Beetle looking the same, but way better!
@AcysLounge HEY GREAT SOUND CAN YOU PRINT THE TABS FOR THAT RIFF THIS IS MY SAVED UTUBE VIDEO I WATCHED THIS EVERYTIME I LOG ON LOVE TH E OTHER VIDEOS TOO PLAY SOME SKYNYRD MAN YOU HAVE THE SOUND FOR IT I CANT PLAY BY EAR SO PLEASE PRINT THE TABS FOR THAT THANKS
I was thinking of getting a Tokai made in Japan SG88 but i heard about SG nose dive which has put me off. As it would be an order from Japan i would be taking a risk. I like sg's though although not many people seem to play them.
@MENSFORTHHILL99 As I´m playing SGs since many years, I never had problems with nose dive as I hold these bitches hard with my left hand! So no chance for diving!
@MENSFORTHHILL99 . The Tokai SG88 is a killer guitar, they're well balanced unlike Gibson SG Standards. No risk ordering direct from Japan as long as it's a Tokai there's no risk, it will be PERFECT out the box. Next question? :)
@peterm3964 Hey mate, you made me laugh! Thanks for that! I think the right hand´s very important, hit the strings with right power, and at the perfect point, that makes just a simple riff sound small - when just stroking the strings - or big, fat and nasty! ;-)
@MENSFORTHHILL99 Yes, as SGs are pure mahogany guitars, and Les Pauls (most models) have a maple top. That maple top adds some treble frequencies, on the other hand SGs have a thinner mahogany body, so they some a lil bit similar with same pickups, but still different in detail. Les Pauls got more bottom and that treble top, and SGs do not have that fatter bottom, and not the treble top. SGs usually go faster, sounds comes quick!
@AcysLounge ..yes it's a "special order" model, but not custom, it has the same specs as an LS160 except it has a AAAAA Flametop, so your guitar sounds like any LS160 sounds...I know I have both your guitar and LS160 models.
@Guitarvirtuoso666 About qualtity of woods and work, yes! Only difference is the age, when a guitar has been played for 30 years, it sound different to a new one. But buy a new one, and listen to this one in 30 years! I own one old one (1984), it sounds good, but not better than my new ones. Just a matter of taste.
@figzor Go "The Angels"!!!!!!!!!! Hope they´ll make some new songs soon, and may be we´ll get that great concert Symphony of Angels on DVD. That would be great!
@braidedwire Hey braidedwire! That´s a funny nick! Great! That´s what I have in all my guitars, braided shielded wire! Places? Not really! What baby are you looking for?
I'm thinking of getting a nice MIJ les paul in the nearby future , but my hope to spend less money went away with ESP Edwards. Tokai seems only reasonable good quality guitar, but still expensive. I really don't know, what i'm looking for. First it was Burny, Grceo or Orville, then Edwards - but many people say the wood quality is poor. I was just curious if you knew a place (non-internet store, shop) with a choice of Tokai guitars.
@amaurythewarrior Les Pauls are often missunderstood. Specially in 90s and 80s Les Pauls sounded like wrapped with thick blankets. I bought my first Les Paul beginning of the 90s, and after changing pickups and pots that thing sounded as I wanted it to sound. Alive and rockin! SGs and Les Pauls are not way different, you can hear the mahogany, but you can also hear the maple top of the Les Paul. SGs different neck pickup position makes that pickup not sound perfect! Go ahead mate!
@AcysLounge that might be oversimplifying, but i tend to think sgs have a more "medium" song, while les paul seem to have a more balanced sound. which might make them more polyvalent. well that's all just bullshit, i need no excuse for wanting a les paul ^^
I hear Tokais are awesome,(well obviously!,Lol,sounds better than alot of the LP's I' ve heard!),but I hear that Edwards are the cream of the Japanese crop for LP copies.Great playing dude,your style is right up my alley and that bad boy looks like a 59' holy grail.B-E-A-utiful geetar!Wish I could jam with ya sometime.
they are now soon on sale in australia, new distributor, 'Jade Australia', jap premium & vintage and china traditional models - jadeaustraliadotcomdotau, how do i know, don't work for them, i just knows
@TheStringsonaGuitar That's very well said, I just bought a Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus to supplement my Gibson Les Paul Standard ( I'm afraid of playing it because I think I might break it ) but after discovering these guitars, I kind of feel I got ripped off and may have to go out and get one ( keeping the Epiphone though, seeing as how there's nothing wrong with it ) I had to take a break from Fenders, those single coils were giving me way to many headaches lol
@TheEternalLeader Yeah, Yeah, Fender lovers I do understand I can just mod them and maybe put on a different pickup but I wanted to try something else before any of that, now I think I found my new favorite guitar. We can't all like the same thing right ?
@AnthonyYaff these guitar cant be sold in north america do to a law suite ....Gibson was gettting mad the tokai with making a better guitar then they could. Im not knocking Gibson i love them but i i said is fact. there just to big and pump out to many guitars to make the way they used to.
@AnthonyYaff iv just found the quality over all is much higher then that of Gibson. dont get me wrong i love Gibson but why pay that much when u can have a guitar with just as good quality or better for a fraction of the price
@AnthonyYaff Compare the price of a Tokai LC85 and a Gibson Les Paul Studio. And the Tokai not only looks better, but plays better in every way imaginable.
@AnthonyYaff The new Gibsons sound pretty bad for their price. Why paing about 2000dollars and get a guitar that sounds like one for about 1000? I wouldn't pay for a Gibson from 90's or earlier, the older ones are good! But the next problem is, these ones are to expencive. So better buy one of these beautiful tokais, they're just blowing my mind (;
@AnthonyYaff The Gibson's that are made today are so far removed from the original 1959 models that they're just as much of a clone guitar. At least the Tokai's aren't overpriced!
@AnthonyYaff Why buying a real Gibson guitar if you can get a cheaper model at the same quality? just my opinion. Anyway, it's not about having a "real" or "fake" les paul - it's about what you are doing on your guitar.
@gugge92 just doodlin, and doodlin, ........ the AC/DC touch is in blood, as grown up with AC/DC and learning playing guitar with AC/DC songs. Using vinyl records, and never giving up .......... so that´s a big part of my guitar playing.
@sunnyjim98 Hey mate, we´re livin on a small planet, and the fact that I´m sitting in Germany does not mean I´m only running round wearing a Bayern Muenchen shirt! brrrrrrrrrrr ..... ;-))))))) I´m a global man, the shirt is NSW Blues, Australia! And sometimes I´m trinkin irish beer too! Cheers, mate! :-)
wow! that's a really expensive one :). Give me your opinion m8, a Tokai LS 80 or an Epiphone les paul slash (the newer one, with alnico IIs and better hardware + long tennon neck)? Can't decide :X
@joaogil I would choose the LS80. That´s great guitars for money. Give that guitar some upgrades like pots, caps, and some braided shielded wiring, then maybe some cool pickups, a brass saddle bridge and a aluminum STP, and you´ve got an awesome Les Paul guitar!
@MysterioFan02 I guess I would go for the epiphone, as the LC53 is different woods built. The epiphone uses mahogany for body and neck, and the Tokai agathis body and maple neck. If you want Les Paul sound you need the mahogany, so choose the epi or japan made Tokai. cya, ACY
@MysterioFan02 Go for epiphone ,they have the known name, and they are no japanesse crap copy. They are real les pauls, not those wannabe les pauls like greco or tokai.
@Bluthund11 Depends what Tokai you wonna buy Japan or China made one? Japan made are way better than Vintage but also much more money for them. There is the new Faber guitars, as far as I heard that´s very good guitars.
Is that a Tokai ALC53? How do you rate it as a Les Paul Standard copy? Any niggles? It's high on my list of guitars to buy but would appreciate any comments. The tone and sustain sounds superb, especially if that's it's raw sound without treatment.
where can i get my hands on one of these baby's in sydney, i wouldnt mind travelling either, ive been looking around and i can manage to find the als model which is china made not japanese!! please help! cheers mate!
@MusicToMyEars36 If you can´t get one in Australia, try getting one from Japan. But do not forget asking about the weight. Tokai does not drill holes for less weight, so you might get a heavy one (I had one here with about 4.6kg - that´s too heavy for me). Most of the Les Paul models are around 3,9 - 4,2kg, that´s very good. But you have to ask about the weight. If you got further questions, send me mail or pm! cheers, ACY!
@AcysLounge hows the shipping if i purchase one from japan?, im just scared that when it arrives the headstock or or neck will be broken, i dont really trust it? as for the weight id prefer the heavier one, i don't want the chambered version for lighter weight, however, which one do you have in this video?
@MusicToMyEars36 Check out the Tokai forum, there is japanese shops you can trust in, doing good jobs! Tokai do not have chambered versions, they are all solid. The one from the clip was about 3,8kg.
@AcysLounge ok cheers mate, will check out tokai forums. oh i just thought when you said ask about the weight that u meant i could get a light one i.e chambered, sorry i misread it. thanks for your help though, much appreciated!
Hey Mate, nice Tokai. Have you still got it? I ask as seems people buy them stating that their great however, somehow go back to GIbsons. Don't want to sound silly, just curious...:-)
@5150VanAlien Hi mate! I owned a lotta Gibsons (Les Pauls, SG´s, Juniors ...), but sold most of them, and do not play the rest anymore. (sometimes) I don´t wonna say Gibsons are not good to me, but I feel better with these japanese built babies! I´m sure I won´t get back with Gibson as my Tokais are the right tool for my hands.
@AcysLounge Thanks mate. I'm living in the UK now and tossing up between the Love Rock LS90Q or an ESP Edwards LP Custom (Ebony or the John Sykes model). They're really good value...I might buy one of each. Thanks for the insight.
@lamathunderbolt There´s already too much talking in Youtube! Sometimes 6 minutes talking, and 30 seconds guitar. So I do not want to bore you with too much talking and let the guitar speak! cya, ACY

@MysterioFan02 Go for epiphone ,they have the known name, and they are no japanesse crap copy. They are real les pauls, not those wannabe les pauls like greco or tokai.

@ AcysLounge: do you know something about vintage guitars (v100)? I like to buy a Tokai or Vintage. greets from germany
Bluthund11 1 year ago
@Bluthund11 Depends what Tokai you wonna buy Japan or China made one? Japan made are way better than Vintage but also much more money for them. There is the new Faber guitars, as far as I heard that´s very good guitars.

Is that a Tokai ALC53? How do you rate it as a Les Paul Standard copy? Any niggles? It's high on my list of guitars to buy but would appreciate any comments. The tone and sustain sounds superb, especially if that's it's raw sound without treatment.

@AlanSturgess No, that´s a japan made high quality model. Model number is LS and some bigger number than 200 I guess.

MusicToMyEars36 1 year ago
@MusicToMyEars36 If you can´t get one in Australia, try getting one from Japan. But do not forget asking about the weight. Tokai does not drill holes for less weight, so you might get a heavy one (I had one here with about 4.6kg - that´s too heavy for me). Most of the Les Paul models are around 3,9 - 4,2kg, that´s very good. But you have to ask about the weight. If you got further questions, send me mail or pm! cheers, ACY!
AcysLounge 1 year ago
@AcysLounge hows the shipping if i purchase one from japan?, im just scared that when it arrives the headstock or or neck will be broken, i dont really trust it? as for the weight id prefer the heavier one, i don't want the chambered version for lighter weight, however, which one do you have in this video?
MusicToMyEars36 1 year ago
@MusicToMyEars36 Check out the Tokai forum, there is japanese shops you can trust in, doing good jobs! Tokai do not have chambered versions, they are all solid. The one from the clip was about 3,8kg.
AcysLounge 1 year ago
@AcysLounge ok cheers mate, will check out tokai forums. oh i just thought when you said ask about the weight that u meant i could get a light one i.e chambered, sorry i misread it. thanks for your help though, much appreciated!

Hey Mate, nice Tokai. Have you still got it? I ask as seems people buy them stating that their great however, somehow go back to GIbsons. Don't want to sound silly, just curious...:-)
Do you own any Gibson's?
5150VanAlien 1 year ago
@5150VanAlien Hi mate! I owned a lotta Gibsons (Les Pauls, SG´s, Juniors ...), but sold most of them, and do not play the rest anymore. (sometimes) I don´t wonna say Gibsons are not good to me, but I feel better with these japanese built babies! I´m sure I won´t get back with Gibson as my Tokais are the right tool for my hands.
AcysLounge 1 year ago
@AcysLounge Thanks mate. I'm living in the UK now and tossing up between the Love Rock LS90Q or an ESP Edwards LP Custom (Ebony or the John Sykes model). They're really good value...I might buy one of each. Thanks for the insight.

@5150VanAlien yeah buy both more than a gibson makes perfic sense to no one!lol.
