Read our feedback and rest assured that The Dude Abides.
They say that good things come in small packages and that's just what came to mind when I opened the case on this gorgeous early 80's Tokai SG from Japan. Smooth playability, classic looks and top tier tone... all at a fraction of the price of a Gibson from that era. This beauty has been professionally set-up and dialed in for optimal performance. Originally conceived as the new version of the Les Paul Model, upon Mr. Paul's disapproval of the design change, Gibson agreed to break the contract with Les and simply dub the newly designed double-cut "SG", (for Solid Guitar) and move ahead with production. The newly introduced guitar became a cult classic and then a revered smash hit once notable players gravitated to it's easy neck access, light weight, and sleek, streamlined design. Tokai brings all the glory of the original to bear in this brilliant recreation of one of Gibson's most (in)famous creations, and they bring it with precise detail and quality of materials and construction. Perfectly balanced and keenly weighted at under 7 pounds this guitar immediately feels like coming home, and with it's super easy playability and medium C-profile neck profile it's bound to become your main squeeze. Tonally this instrument is in it's own class, with a primal scream and Zappa-esque whine, and a warm, bittersweet tonality when the tone is rolled back. Cosmetically this SG is in very clean condition (for its age) with only a few dings, dents, and light surface scratches, slight discoloration on the face of the headstock and absolutely no issues whatsoever. The neck is perfectly straight, truss rod works perfectly with plenty of room both ways, & the frets hav been worked and show no wear. If you've been looking for a killer, lightweight, set neck tone killer with plenty of bark, punch, and a substantial bite that will get you noticed, look no further. A prime example of Japanese craftsmanship and top notch tone is embodied in this sweet axe, ready for your approval here at - The Guitar Dude.
This guitar is professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone and playability. It has low action with no buzzing or dead spots and is an absolute joy to play. It has been deep cleaned and detailed. All guitars will arrive looking and playing great. The frets have been leveled / dressed / polished and the fingerboard was cleaned. (Unfinished Rosewood and Ebony boards get treated with Fret Doctor - a proprietary all natural oil that is the best on the market) It has brand new strings, the action was adjusted, the intonation is spot on and it plays excellent. All the electronics work flawlessly.
**** We stand behind every guitar we sell and have consistently delivered quality that beats most people expectations, earning us a reputation for quality that is unrivaled. Simply put “good enough” is not good enough for The Guitar Dude’s standards. We try and make every guitar be at its absolute BEST to deliver on our promise. We take great pride in what we do and we are always trying our best.

Terms For Returns & Re-Stocking Fee’s
We recognize and accept a 7 day return policy as per Reverb guidelines, BUT intentions of the return must be communicated in writing within 3 day of receiving the guitar as indicated by the tracking. Unless the guitar is not as described, ORIGINAL & RETURN SHIPPING COSTS WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. There is a 10% Re-stocking fee for ALL guitars that are returned for ANY reason outside of damage from shipping or it arrives significantly not as described. Please note that we record demo videos to make sure our guitars go out exactly as we describe them with zero issues. We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping. Thats said, guitars travel a great distance some times and in transit things can happen. Also guitars acclimate to new environments and this can cause a need for a new set up or minor adjustment. It is acceptable and normal if there is for instance a tiny bit of buzzing or the need to adjust a truss rod. We are in south Florida and if you are in a colder or less humid environment it is almost to be expected. Please read our feedback and see what our customers say. The guitar MUST BE RETURNED IN THE EXACT CONDITION it was advertised/received or it is subject to additional costs & or repair fees. We are not a big chain shop, I hope you understand. If you are uncomfortable with these terms please do not purchase. There are plenty big chain shops that can absorb free trials and shipping.
