Machines Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I wish people would realise that staggering the ferrules does not change scale length. This is determined only by the distance between the bridge saddle and nut. The actual achievement is lowering the angle between the saddle and ferrule minimising the stress on the winding of the string making it less likely to break.

RhysP Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Picked this up on Gumtree the other day for the bargain price of £150, including a TKL case. Very impressed with the build & finish quality - I've seen plenty of Gibson ES335's that aren't as well made as this Tokai.

velvetkevorkian Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Just got this back from setup: [url=https://flic.kr/p/st3qrg][/url] This originally belonged to the guitarist in my first band many years ago, who gave it to me as a fixer-upper, which I did, then it went to my sister for a while, then it sat in my Mum's front room for a few years when my sister moved abroad. Sounds pretty monstrous with a bit of gain on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetkevorkian Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Another new addition: [url=https://flic.kr/p/tRpA5U][/url] The premium Ibanez put on the fancy-topped models is ridiculous but I think I got a decent local Gumtree deal. Overkill is my middle name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamdenRob Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) Just got my Schecter C7 back from The Gallery, when it's been for it's Metal mods.... It's had a set of Bareknuckle Painkillers installed, the volume knob replaced with a on off switch and the tone control removed and replaced with a very metal looking bolt... The signal now goes pickups - pickup selector - output jack. nothing to go wrong when I'm throwing it around... also put some strap locks on it. Portable Metal set up now complete...

It is 25 watts and I've never got it anywhere near half way on the master, despite an enthusiastic metal drummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It's #3 of a limited run of 12 Gretsch Anniversary models with a gold finish made for a music shop in the US last year. It just happened to come up for sale in Bristol at the same time as I'd sold a pile of gear I wasn't using so I had to have it. I've always loved Gretsch guitars.
