The Tokai Tryouts Part 1: Francis Reyes of The Dawn

Lyric finally received stocks of Tokai TST-50 PH guitars. These Limited Edition Made-in-Japan s-style instruments were made exclusively for Lyric (the PH means Philippines) and feature alder bodies, rosewood fretboards, 3 single coil pickups, 5-way position switch, vintage-style tuners, and vintage-style vibrato bridges. Available in four colors and adorned with a mint-green pickguards and knobs, these guitars sound as beautiful as they look and deliver all the spank and sparkle one expects. Each guitar also has a Certificate of Authenticity.
We asked a few local guitar players to try out the TST-50 PH. For this episode, Francis Brew Reyes of The Dawn improvised an ambient textural piece with the guitar and his own Empress ZOIA. For amplification, a Yamaha THR100 dual channel head and cabinet is used with the amp's dual channels running in parallel (clean and dirt together). There is the expected single-coil buzz; no noise gate was used.

If I am going to modify the pots, gagawin ko lahat individual volumes for each pickup then with treble bleeds at 1 meg pot for bridge pickup
