They're great value for money mate - I'd have one over a non-CS Gibson....

+1. It should be a great guitar, I still kick myself for missing out on a Tokai SG.... hope that guitar works for you.

Going against the grain I tried a lower end MIJ Tokai recently and it was nice enough but it just didn't have the proper LP vibe.  It fact I tried a few in Richtone music and they were all the same, nice but dull.

That'll be the LS48's though won't it?

Give it a try. They are great guitars for the money.

I bought a cheap Tokai LP a few weeks ago. It's very good value for the money. Beats the Epi LPs IMO.

No, LS80 I think.  Definitely the Japanese one.

Ahh right, sorry bout that tom.

So comon Keith, what happened are you the proud owner of a Tokai?
