My first VCR was a Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi is an absolutely massive company. They don't only make "stuff " they're also a bank and probably an insurance company too.
I had Takamine Acoustic for a short while. It sounded so good. Full balanced sound and when you strummed a chord it could ring forever. Unfortunately relationship woes, well... you know...
I have MIA Fenders and PRSs, but the first time I saw a brand new Tokai straight out of the box it was unreal: the craftsmanship was so good it looked like it's CGI in real life. Straight lines are perfectly straight, bevels are mathematically rounded, all the knobs and pegs felt creamy and linear with zero play whatsoever. It's like it's not made by fallible mortals. Everything was textbook precise, like CGI.
My first guitar was a Yamaha SBG500. It was one of the lower end SG models, but as good as the LP Studio that I bought as my 2nd. They don't make these models anymore. At least I can't find any.
My Yamaha 750 almost always took me where I wanted while my Harley 1200 rarely started. Both were 1979’s, I loved them both, but I could only count on 1 every time.
Yamaha is just that brand that I can trust to get products from and have a good time especially their non guitar products like Trombones and other instruments they are just great quality instrument, I'm currently looking into a guitar from them aswell
Got a tokai hummingbird reissue, awesome guitar, fretboard and neck feel great ,it's my best playing guitar right now plus it looks great with exexerated offset going on...
I had a Tokai custom edition superstrat,with floyd rose and Lenny White pickups,and it was the best guitar i ever played!!But it was stolen from our rehearsal room many years ago!!Miss very much!!
Yeah. Yamaha without a doubt is going to become the next fender. There are a few things I dislike about my revstar (bridge mainly, it’s pot metal and just needs replaced with something stainless) but overall it’s one of the most stable instruments I’ve owned in 30 years. Line 6 helix allows you to record and gig with professional quality sound. I wish Yamaha would make a super strat or tele with Duncan JB bridge and a Floyd rose. That’s all I ask for.
My dad got a takamine from a pawn shop before I was born and he never played guitar. Gave it to me when I was 16 and started playing and holy shit it sounds amazing.
Seeing Hammett at the start of this video, I'm expecting Fernandes. He used it before ESP, and Radiohead's Ed O'Brien used their pickup in his Fender signature. also Aria, anybody?? They're legendary cheap quality Fender and Gibson alternative since the 80's
@user-tz8wt8fy5c Tokai is the current factory they use, which they also used in the 70s. They aren't owned by them, kind of like how Cort makes a ton of other brand's guitars.
you could probably completely live off yamaha products nowadays lmao
@@moustachio334 Zeros?
@@moustachio334I had a mitsubishi stereo once

Also shoutout to the Yamaha Pacifica line, their Pacifica 612 is a MiM killer
Baby metal for the background music hell yeah.
Tokai guitars are stunning quality. My Yamaha acoustic is ridiculously good value for the money

Did she break your guitar ?
I have Yamaha acoustic guitar F310 and he’s very cool

The Yamaha SG is such a great guitar, can't wait to have one

@@castleanthrax1833 damn, wish that was my first guitar, I'm gonna get an SG-2000 one day lol.
@@onyjdm Oh yeah. They are nice. ✌️🇦🇺
I WAS HOPING FOR THIS VIDEO!!! How did I not see it until 6 days later?!
Tokai’s are great guitars!!!!
My Yamaha 750 almost always took me where I wanted while my Harley 1200 rarely started. Both were 1979’s, I loved them both, but I could only count on 1 every time.
Like these quick guitar history shorts. Can’t say I know much but maybe one for Australia (Ormsby, Maton)?
Cole Clark.
Tokai is a lovely instrument...
Got a takamine ean20c. This is such a beautiful acoustic guitar. Love the sound. One of the best gifts I've ever received.
Aria, Tesco in the next room

I can't see a Takamine without thinking of the legendary Raffi.
Got a tokai hummingbird reissue, awesome guitar, fretboard and neck feel great ,it's my best playing guitar right now plus it looks great with exexerated offset going on...
Takamine and Tokai so popular here in Finland. We got tons of them. No experience with Tokai yet but Takamine are great
I had a Tokai custom edition superstrat,with floyd rose and Lenny White pickups,and it was the best guitar i ever played!!But it was stolen from our rehearsal room many years ago!!Miss very much!!
What Takamine is the 3rd? With purple light.
Looks really nice, anyone knows the model?
Yamaha also recently partnered/acquired line 6 so there’s that too.

Had an old hondo 2 with garbage pail stickers on it rocked well but I was dumb n young
I love Yamaha acoustics. My FG5 Red Label easily competes with a D-18, which costs almost twice as much
I forgot about Takamine . Great guitars .
i love the Yamaha Revstar 620B! Boy i do wish i had one

The song in the background is karate by babymetal
Yep! Nicely identified
@@agufish it is my go to workout song
I’d love a Tokai love rock review and wouldn’t mind sending you mine to check out. You know as long as you send it back
Aria, Burny, Greco, Teisco.....?
I LOVE my Sunburst Tokai Loverock and it's as good as my Gibson, if not better,!
Are Martin Japanese. Love the videos man keep it up
They are not. They are maybe the most iconic, classic American acoustic guitar brand.
tokai is a lighter maker? i suppose? i saw them everywhere
Wish Tokais were easier to get. Customs and shipping tac on like at least 250 bucks to your order
Fernandes has entered the chat
Waiting for Electra
Where is ESP
Btw tokai was making old Japanese fenders
And also... Where is caparison?
Why does this guy kinda sound like ray william johnson
Not even gone mention that takamine makes the best 12 strings around.
Ok but Babymetal's Karate background music ❤️🔥
Tokai are arguably more Les Paul than Gibson and in many cases the love rock guitars are more expensive than a Gibson.
Baby metal!
Seriously? Still no mention of Fernandes.
Technically fernades is a tokai sub brand so
@user-tz8wt8fy5c Tokai is the current factory they use, which they also used in the 70s. They aren't owned by them, kind of like how Cort makes a ton of other brand's guitars.
@@theviking8189 now fernandes are making in taiwan... Its not even a Tokai now
Where’s fernandes):
BABYMETAL!!
babymetallove
it's pronounced Taka-minay
Pianos came first, surely?
Tokai is the best Japanese guitar. Yamaha seems lame to me. ESP is really good as well.
Man forgot about Ibanez.
You know what, you could remove the "60 seconds" thing, and not let all this HISTORICAL info fly by so fast,, we can't comprehend it.
THUMBS DOWN.
Ibanez? No?
