Fair enough fella. There is method in the madness and damn right you should enjoy the fruits of your labours.

I have been in a similar position, although not as impressive. I owned 5 Jaguars once upon a time. Sold them all and kept the best one though :-D

I admit I tend towards your original question (multiple similar guitars) but had to laugh on reading that about having 5 Jags!

To my untrained eyes they look better than the real thing.

Have just seen you work in Hinckley. Which is where my office (and guitar stuff) is. Feel free to pop in. Kettle will be on...

@meltedbuzzbox make sure you take @ellwood up on this offer. 

I fully agree with Nicks view that no two are the same. I’ve several teles just as you’ve had several jags and each one has it’s own foibles, nuances and perks, don’t they?

I also am very grateful that he is such a welcoming forumite too, thanks to his collection I was able to narrow down exactly what it was that I was looking for in a lester. It’s made my most recent purchase a lot easier and saved me buying things on spec that wouldn’t have been half as good. So cheers buddy, and keep on buying!

I do like a Plaintop me 

If it wasn't a '77 I'd be suggesting Double Cream Bobbins!

Some. Not all

Nice collection! I remember that Goldtop well. A real beast.

After I went from 4 Tokais (including an immense 81 LS150) to zero last year I'm back up to 2: a 1980 LS80 tobacco burst and a 2016 R4 from a special run for Tokai Germany.

The latter is an incredible guitar. I've played 53, 54 and 55 original wrap tail goldtops and a 56 in the last year and the Tokai smoked all of them (except the 55 (which was sublime)). Light. Supremely well built. Just class all round.

LPs are fickle guitars and I find they vary in feel and sound more than bolt on guitars. With a Tokai (especially the new top end ones) you get a lot of axe for your money.

I played just a handful of Nik’s collection, and they were all very different. Looking forward to going back some time and trying some more!

For those who would prefer some variety you will be pleased to hear that today’s arrival is not a Tokai Les Paul.

Here’s a jolly nice 1990 EG59-75...



See? Variety!
