The title says it all. I recorded some quick clips before and after I replaced the stock pickups in my Tokai LS160S with Lindy Fralin P90s.

excuse the sloppy clothes :)

  • Hi, Thanks for getting back to me. Does your Tokai have a maple or mahogany top?

    All the best.

  • @uribengal maple ... It's a 56 reissue more or less.

  • Hello,

    Fine playing, nice looking guitar. Why did you prefer this Tokai to your Gibson? Thanks.

  • @uribengal thanks ... The tokai sounded mich more lively and fuller than the Gibson. It had more sustain and resonated better. It was a no brauner to keep the tokai. The finish was thinner on the gibby tho.

  • Beautiful playing, I'm envy. I read a forum where you discussed stock pickups in your Tokai LS160S and tried to replace them with Fralins. As I remember it is Gotohs as the stocks. Do you know what is the model of Gotohs?

  • @TheRoughmen Actually I don't know which exact model they are and if they are sold separately at all. These are the ones that are installed on the higher end Tokais. They call them "LP-OLD MK1" but I don't know if that's the Gotoh model name or an internal Tokai description. Sorry for not being more helpful ...

see all

  • Great clean sound. Both sound great. Check out osme of my Tokai and Gibson demos. Cheers.

  • Fralins exactly sound thinner and weaker in your video. I think, if you changed titles vice versa, many people would say that Fralins are fatter and more organic etc. Because they are Fralins(Lollars, Duncans etc) and everybody is talking about that they are perfect. Today P90 is the brand for the people who tired of humbuckers' and singles' sound, but most of them(includes me) just don't know how P90 have to sound like.

  • @anointed01 It's funny that most seem to like the Fralins ... This video seems to make even less sense than I thought. In real life the Fralins sound really thin and weak compared to the Gotoh/Tokais ...

  • The Tokai PU sound like they have the flu. The sound of the LF`s is pristine and well defined. Thanks for sharing
