About to pull the trigger on a Tokai ES60

Post by frigid midget »

I'm kinda asking the people who already know this, but to be clear: The ES60 is Tokai's low end ES-335 copy. I just know it gets good reviews, and the demos seem ligit...But I'm basicly about to to order a brand new one sight unseen. The shop has an excellent return policy though. 30 days, free shipping, no questions asked.

My ES-335 experience is limited to a late 90s Gibson, which played and sounded great. Just maybe not $1500 great though, and since I was in need of quick cash, I flipped it. Kinda miss not having a semi hollow ever since, and I don't really dig the looks of anything else out there. I'm even disgusted by the huge epiphone headstocks, just to give you an idea of how anal I am about ES-335 aesthetics :facepalm:

Ayway, this is my last cry for extra info before I bite the bullet. How's the overal value, how shitty is the chinese build quality? Swapping electronics in a semi-hollow electric is a huge pita, so I was hoping the pickups are at least adequate...:idk:

Cheers.
