This guitar is also in Coda music!

I'm going to test both the Tokai Explorer and the Ibanez RG1570, in Coda this week to see which one i like best
Two completely different guitars, but both of them fit my metal style!

Hope ya like the Explorer.
I Love my Explorer. The amount of wood gives amazing sustain/tone and the playing position is great.

It sure looks nice in that dark mahogany color. Slap in some Cold Sweats for that original 1976 vibe.

It's damn expensive though! About 100 quid more expensive though it does come with gig bag.

Well gig bags arent usually £100, and for a nice guitar like that I'd rather go for a decent hard case.

+1 especially as this won't fit in a standard case I suppose ...

Those Tokai Explorers are beautiful, forget the Ibanez!

I keep hoping the Tokai distributor will import some of their Japanese '58 Flying V copies, but they only have the Korean ones.
