this shouldnt be your deciding factor.. but.. the tokais are jap as you said.. but the fernandes will be chinese.

edwards would be worth a look too... and (i haven't tried them, but they seem to be well-regarded too) burny, greco, orville, etc. etc. is there any way you can try them first?

Not really I guess I have time to shop around. I am not in a rush to just buy something. I want something Really Good for my second Axe I love the first, and I have the fever. I wont have more than two guitars I think. I Custom built the first one, and I wanted to spend a little more on my second Guitar. So far what I have been looking at is

Tokai LC 95s 799+120 shipping+what I will spend on bareknuckles

Fernandes Deluxe 600+what I will spend on bareknuckles
Fernandes Elite 700+what I will spend on bareknuckles

I would like to check out edwards, and Greco, and I cant find their websites or dealers.

i think the only diff with the fernandes delux and elite are the pickups... i think anyway.. so if you are sticking BKs in the more expensive one is redundant.

there's the edwards website. don't worry, most of it's in english, the different models are in the drop-down menus. you'd most likely have to order from japan for those... which is why they're hard to try first. i was lucky, i got to try a second-hand one in a local shop before i ordered mine, but it's probably going to boil down to luck...
