2010 Tokai ES-185 (335-Style) Semihollow Electric Guitar

Overview: This is a Japanese-made Tokai of the modern flavoring -- uncovered buckers but otherwise fairly '60s-style in specs, with a 1 5/8" nut width and early-'60s-ish, medium-C neck profile. It feels like home to me! The build quality is nice, the weight is quite good, and it has a great feel and sound. It's a little darker-sounding and hotter than straight-up '60s-style buckers but, as you can hear, has a good, even sound. It's also easy on the eyes with all of that figured maple veneer.


Repairs included: Sarah gave this a level/dress of the frets, restring, and setup. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.

It comes with: It's got a, presumably original, hard case.
