Here for sale we have a Tokai SG in Cherry finish. Made in China in 2008, this guitar features a set-neck construction comprising a Mahogany body, mahogany neck and 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. Chrome hardware is fitted including a T-o-M style bridge and StopBar tailpiece, along with vintage-style tuning machines with Kluson style 'Tulip' buttons. A pair of covered humbucking pickups are installed, and are wired to a 3-way toggle switch and independent volume and tone controls.
The Mahogany neck plays very well, with a profile that might be described as a slim 'C' shape which offers a comfortable grip when chord playing as well as feeling nicely articulate for lead lines and solos. The gloss finish to the rear assists with smooth navigation of the 24.75" scale, whilst the slim neck heel and double cutaway design ensure unrestricted access to the upper frets. The Rosewood fretboard is pleasant under the fingers and with its 14" radius is practical for both chordal and melodic playing.
The pair of covered humbucking pickups installed in this guitar deliver thick and full-bodied tones, just as you would expect from an SG. The neck is warm and round, perfect for lead lines and solos, as well as shimmering clean sounds. The bridge pickup is of course brighter, and saturates into a thick searing distortion for your rock and blues rhythm parts and riffs. The independent volume and tone controls work with the 3-way switch to offer comprehensive control of your sound for any musical situation.
