Tokai "Love Rock" Les Paul Copy. Tokai has long been revered for their amazing copies of Telecasters, Stratocasters, and Gibson Les Paul guitars. The people at Tokai, in Japan, are so damned good at making copies of American guitars that there are literally fakes of Tokai guitars. Fakes of copies are out there.

Epiphones sound really, really good, and they do indeed have that deep, rich Les Paul sound, but of course, they are not on par with a Gibson. The new ProBucker pickups have really improved the Epiphone Les Paul Standard.

While it's clear that there's an air of prestige associated with PRS Core guitars, the SE series shouldn't be dismissed. They represent excellent value-for-money, and PRS has developed these guitars to be much closer to their Core counterparts over the years.

Yamaha makes some excellent guitars. ... The Pacifica models are decent for the price but if you can find one made prior to the 90's they are excellent guitars. The newer models are okay but not as good as the earlier models. If you can find a older SG model buy one because they are great guitars.

At this time Sawtooth has quality control issues. If you get a good one, it's a good guitar. Well-built, nicely finished, good and solid, plays well. ... Aside from that, they were good solid guitars; I just got tired of dealing with stuff that should have never passed inspection.

If you want vintage tone with modern day functionality, the Gotoh 510's are hands down the best tuners out there. They don't say "kluson" on the case, but I think they are actually better than the one's that do. ... Either one would be a really nice upgrade for a Gibson or Epiphone guitar.

Although they're very utilitarian in design and the build quality isn't great, they're not bad instruments, they're fairly sturdy, they have a pretty good tone and intonation and they're ideal for players with small hands. And you're much better off with a used Artley than a brand new CSO. Re: ARTLEY CLARINET.

Some MIM Fenders are horrible while some are ok and others are great. It's pretty much the same for the MIC Fenders. I've never played a poorly made Japanese Fender. Good news is Fender Japan is less expensive than Fender USA.

Tokai has its own instrument making factory and have built guitars for well-known brands under contract (OEM). Tokai and Dyna Gakki produced the Fender Japan solid-body models from 1997 until the end of the Fender Japan joint-venture in 2015.

It's got a good sound for the price you pay for it. But you aren't going to get a performing or recording quality sound out of it. This guitar would be best for anyone who is looking to find a playable listenable instrument to play around on around the house or around the campfire.

If, however, you're more focused on tone quality, BC Rich does not tend to be one of the first that comes to mind as a "good" guitar. Some very good guitarists use them, but in general they are a mid-range brand: not great but not awful.

Their attention to quality control means that Yamaha guitars, both electric and acoustic, are consistently well made. ... Even a modestly priced model F310 acoustic sounds good and (for the price level) is very well made. High end Yamaha guitars are typically exquisitely high quality and consistently well reviewed.

The pedals are solidly built, and they have cool features, such as a Fender jewel light and dials that can be illuminated — all to assist gigging musicians on stage. I stomped all three of the pedals I checked out and I stomped 'em good, and they held up beautifully and showed no indications of failing.

If you can find a 30 year old well cared for Fender from Japan you will have a great player. It won't be worth very much but it will be a beautiful instrument. Even the old 80's MIJ Squiers were excellent.

The build quality is pretty amazing for the price. The inlays are nice and flush, and the purfling is not only not ugly, but well done. The action is also super low--most cheap ukes have higher action that makes them harder to play. The Aquila nylgut strings are pretty good, so no need to immediately re-string it.

I've recommended Glarry to several people, and anyone who's looking for a beginner-priced instrument that has much better than beginner quality should consider Glarry. They also make great modding platforms if you're into doing your own custom guitar work.

Nearly all Baldwins have a strong, full, rich sound which is very pleasing to me. Mine still sounds great to me, much better than a Steinway or Yamaha of the same size and design. The old Baldwins from that era can be good buys used if they are well maintained.
