ezbass Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I’m a big fan of Tokai and have owned at least 3 of their guitars in the past (2 of which were LPs IIRC). However, Epi make a nice guitar for the money too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harryburke14 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Go with the Tokai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardMarlowe Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Btoh make a decent guitar. The Chinese Epiphones were considered to be a step down from the Korean ones for the first year or two, but really by this point while some collectors still prefer the MIKs (here's hoping - I have one I'm planning to sell in a few months!), the Chinese ones are very nice guitars indeed. Personally, I have a slight preference for the Tokai - I find they tend to have better resale (YMMV, just my experience), better range of chocie of finish if you buy new rather than Epiphone (cosmetic preference, of course, but I'm just *so* over figured wood and bursts.... I'm a solid colour man nowadays). Tokai also laways look closer to a "real" Les Paul to my eye, as they don't deliberately make the headstock shapel ook markedly different or things like that the way Gibson do (obviously Gibby know there's a chunk of the market will pay out the money for the Gibson that might be happy with the Epi if it had the "right" headstock and a "MIC Gibson" type brand). But either, all other things being equal, will be a decent LP type. It would also be worth your while looking into the Vintage V100 model range. Cracking guitars with Wilkinson hardware; I lean to the view they're probably the best value LP type on the market at the minute, and at least sonically / tonewise, imo they can readily hold their own against the top end Gibsons at several grand a pop.
