I always wished they would have imported a 1/2million of those things for the USA.... again, glad you found one for a good price, even with the shipping on top of it. |

I had a Dillion MIK setneck righty bird pretty much the same thing as the tokai's, and NEVER had an issue from it fit, finish, or electronics playability. I still have 1 bird left MIJ, but it is a Jackson. The only thing I never liked about the Dillion was the "sharp" slab-body edges, but beyond that I used it a lot before selling it. ( because I play inverted, flipping tbirds takes ALL the neckdive out of them )

T-Birds are notorious neck divers and one of the nice things about the Epi T-Birds (though obviously not as historically accurate in build or tone) is they have bolt on necks so you can swap out one of the neck bolts for a strap button and offset the balance issues. |
