Bonne chance.

Too bad , c était une version Coréene at low price ,at low quality say Tokai forum..

Je pense que toutes les guitares sont fabriqués en Chine ou en Coré today even a Gibson Es 335, read some articles about that..

Un chinois m offre de me faire une copy de Es 339 at his factory . Hum ...

Je cherche encore , on verra ..

Salut Brian

Yes, they did. I owned three of them and now wish I had them back. All three were 50s strat copies, maple necks/fingerboards with single ply, 8-hole pickguards. I even had the chance to a/b one against a real '54 strat, and my Tokai held its own. The weak points were the hardware and the pickups. Also, I didn't like the skinny vintage fret wire.

Sorry for the hijack, but those 80s Tokai strats were excellent.

I actually understood all that! Yay for 30-year-old high school French!

Mais qu'est que c'est votre phrase au sujet de Gibsons fabriqués en Chine? While I have no doubt that one can purchase a guitar made in China that says "Gibson" on the headstock, it will be a counterfeit and will in fact probably also (falsely) say "made in USA" on the back of the headstock.

Toutes les Gibsons sont fabriqués aux Etats-Unis. :AOK:
