FE4R3D Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 There is probably a reason why this thread died three years ago and there hasn’t been anything similar despite many of us being interested in guitarsYes I saw the date after I posted my comment, DHGate has some that LOOK nice, but who knows how they playSent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogeha Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 I’m sorry, I can’t help you. I have never bought a replica guitar. I have bought cheaper brands and hot rodded them with boutique or my own pick ups and upgraded pots and wiring. As far as I’m aware, although there are a number of guys here with nice guitar collections, there aren’t any that have recently dabbled with replicas. If you decide to go ahead, let us know what it is like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low Note Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 '79-'81 Tokai instruments exceeded the quality and feel on the US made Fender Instruments in the '80s. They became known as "law suit" instruments. I own a 1980 Tokai Jazz Bass. It cost me $350 on eBay It feels and sounds better than a Fender Custom Shop instrument. There are many guitars and basses from this era that are exceptional. It'll take some searching but, you can find some nice (and collectible) instruments.
