Kenny_D

Anyone see the resemblance with this:

Ahh good ol tokai strikes again

Doctor J

Probably made in the same factory too

RustinPeace

I can't see a price on that one but if it costs the same(probably more) than the other ones,with shipping and tax I would come to about the same,if not more than the LTD.
So for a negligable price difference I'd be getting a guitar,that I've never tried before with pickups and hardware I don't want
Where as I could get the LTD with pickups and hardware I do want and which i've played the same model numerous times.
Your point?

Also that seems to be a slightly darker finnish than the ltd(could be the pictures though) and I prefer the headstock on the LTD.

Doctor J

I don't believe there was a point other than pointing out Tokai copying another design.

RustinPeace

True and of course the LTD is such an original design by it's self .

Karl Hungus

I really like that.

Kenny_D

Lol wow your quick to jump on the defensive. I didnt have a point. But my guess is the guitar would be cheaper than the esp. If previous tokai's are anything to go by the pickups will sound more or less the same as the model its copying

That ESP an original design.... lol its a les paul with a sharpened cutaway and a bit of sparkle added

I'll contact my friend and find out just how much that dlx2004 would cost landed in Ireland. Just out of curiousity because that particular website is overpriced anyway

Nothing against the ESP though, it looks like a really nice guitar for its price. I agree with you on the finish. I think the flame on the esp is more pronounced and looks nicer but I wasnt having a bash at your purchase, just pointing out that tokai had a copy of it

RustinPeace

Sorry if I cam across too defensive.
Oh I was being sarcastic bout the LTD being an original design.:D

Kenny_D

Yeah I was half thinking it was sarcasm as I was writing it. lol

RustinPeace

Expect clips and pics soon.
Studio on the 13th of june.
Ok not so soon but I can't wait to record with this and the ENGL.
