Because that is when THIS little sex kitten will be finding its way into my grubby little mits

feylya · 01-10-2005 9:51pm

Ooooh, nice. How much and where from?

carpothepunk · 01-10-2005 9:58pm

E-Bay,and i have no idea if i was ripped off or not,could you help me out there?550 dollars,and i hope to **** i dont get caught by customs!

feylya · 01-10-2005 10:04pm

It's €491 from Ishibashi but then you have to add shipping to that.

carpothepunk · 01-10-2005 10:07pm

So,i guess i got off ok.

Whats the situation with customs,do you think i will be got?And if so how much would i be charged?(i have never bought musical equipment from USA before)

feylya · 01-10-2005 10:11pm

It'll be about 25% of the price marked on the package + shipping. You probably will be stung.

carpothepunk · 01-10-2005 10:15pm

ah well,bout another 150 so,i dont care,its a fine specimen,ill get back with results to tell you if i get stung

feylya · 01-10-2005 10:19pm

Wouldn't mind getting one of these but I think this is next on the list

carpothepunk · 01-10-2005 10:23pm

not into the whole PRS look

but THAT is a spicy meatball!

Karl Hungus · 01-10-2005 10:40pm

I have one of the Tokai PRS style guitars, lovely piece of kit, I can honestly tell you.

carpothepunk · 07-10-2005 8:59pm

wow i got it already,express international air mail....and

i didnt get hit by customs!!

Ravelleman · 07-10-2005 9:02pm

I tried a white Tokai Les Paul Custom in Musician Inc t'other day. I wasn't at all impressed. Maybe it was a lemon.

Beware Carpo, sometimes you get hit by customs a few weeks after the package arrives.

IMHO you can't go wrong with the Black Beauty. THE classic electric guitar.

Quattroste · 08-10-2005 3:04pm

Hmmmm. Thoses gold tops are becoming increasingly attractive every time I see one.

Feylya. I love that Tokai. Just Love it.

Carpo. Can you let me know how the P90's sound. I have never heard them in the flesh.

Voodu Child · 08-10-2005 3:21pm

Ive been buying too many ibanezs lately...I think I may get one of them tokais off Ishi...sei - what are the pickups like? How do they comapare to SD59s, or PAFs, or any of the popular Les Paul replacements?

That ain't a Black Beauty. Black Beauty's have three humbuckers

Alas, the money I had reserved for that piece off wood and metal now has to go to help with "the Great Move".

Are you sure? That means I've been calling them the wrong name for the last 30 years or so. LOL. Which is entirely possible.
EDIT - Anyway, IMHO 3 humbuckers are OTT looking and probably get in the way of your pick.
Black LPs with white binding and speed knobs as per your picture are beyond cool.

sei046 · 08-10-2005 3:51pm

voodoo the neck pickup is nice and transperant so the clean sounds are really crisp and defined. I found on my lp copy that it was muddy and muffled and got lost in a mix but these just sit there nicely. Really soft clean sounds and the treble cleans sounds dont cut your head off. You get that lovely rumble sound when soloing with the rhythm pickup, it souds great. The Bridge pickup has great bite out if it with distortion and cuts nicely through the mix, its very defined but still can hit you in teh chest with a punchy distortion. With my wah it gets pretty trebly like most guitars i suppose but dont take that as gospel coz i gotta reconfigure my wah with it to less extreme freq, that i need to get a good scope out of the inferior guitars i was using before

feylya · 08-10-2005 3:52pm

But then there's also a Custom Black Beauty with only two pickups but I think generally they have 3 humbuckers. And yes, they do look quite daft. Ebony Custom's are gorgeous though.

carpothepunk · 08-10-2005 7:06pm

pics soon guys,well,as soon as a get the digi cam working!
quattroste,the P-90s are amazing,depending on what type of music you want to you with this little minx

vox · 09-10-2005 9:02pm

Jaysus i love gold tops more than anything..... where did you get it? Whats the model?

mickymg2003 · 11-10-2005 7:02pm
