Thank rnolan, each timber has its sound characteristics, what matters is to get a common denominator that pleases yourself!

Finally received a neck I ordered on EvilBay to fit this Camo RG axe.

Great fun to play, interesting tones and I am taking my time to adjust it so it
should feel like a race car when I'm done with it.

Beautiful, chucky

Looks NICE

VERY cool axe, Chucky.    

[Dante]

Cool Axe, Chucky!

I never could bond with my RG, too pointy. Very rude to point, it pointed at everything 

[rnolan]

Go Chucky, very nice

What guitar?  I couldn't see a guitar in that photo.

Nice Guitar!

Accidentally had to buy this axe, it's a secret also as the significant other is not aware it's been hidden up stairs  .  It plays great!  Just trying to determine whether or not it's  fake or not as the logo text on headstock hasn't been painted on very well.  You can only notice if you look very closely.  Still plays good and sounds excellent!

Hey RG,

  A nice little axe to be sure, but I have to ask: What made this one so special that you had to 'accidentally' buy it?

oh I guess apart from insane GAS 

The fact that those 80's Tokai's from Japan are collectible, and I like knowing I have a desirable axe.  May be not to folks on here as this is an ADA forum, but there are plenty of Japanese guitar collectors and also Tokai faithful who'd like to have that guitar.

Then the price, which was nice for this axe.  I bargained the guy to £50 less than he wanted for it.

Then the fact that I love how it looks.  The fact it plays and sounds nice is a bonus lol.  That's the gamble I took I guess as it could have been all wrong for me.  I suppose I like to have a guitar that when I play live people are wondering what it is as it's not just a fender or something.  Perhaps that sounds silly but little things like that appeal to me, sets me apart from others (not that I need this guitar to do that for me as no one on my local scene uses any of the stuff I use, right down to the picks).

Well, i think it looks great. I've never been drawn to white guitars before, but there is something about this one that really appeals to me.
At first glance i thought you had paid £50 for it.  Now that would have been the bargain of the century!

[rabidgerry]

yeah never liked black and white guitars or white ones with white pickgaurds but I really love this white with black.  Really nice.  The neck has gone golden also through age and although it cannot be seen in the photos the white paint is really like a pool or snooker ball white as it's aged 28 years.

Just restringing at the mo.  Had to open it up to find if it was a legit tokai or not.  It had the serial numbers inside so looks ok.

Hey RG,

   There's nothing wrong with that. Interesting fact that Tokai guitars have become collectible. That's something I never would have guessed at.
   The bottom line is that it plays and sounds good. It also looks like it's in very good shape for it's age. At first glance, I thought it was a copy of Jake E Lee's Charvel guitar.
    It doesn't matter what brand a musical instrument is, as much as how well it matches the musician who plays it. Case in point:
A long time friend and local musician named Al MacKenzie, used to get teased and haggled about his Hohner bass guitar that he played with every local band he was in here. I've known Al since 1987, and currently, he is the bass player for Firehouse. So I don't knock any musician for their choice of instruments.
