Last week we asked if the pickguard should be left off our Tokai and you answered in your thousands. Unfortunately the most popular answer isn't the one we wanted hear... so let's keep the poll open, debate some more, and see if we can sway the result back to the 'off' camp. 😬🎸🤞

I AM NOT AN EXPERT. Some things I do know and some things I don't know but think I know and sometimes I say things that are not entirely correct. Once I have said things it's too late to correct them so please check any 'so called facts' with an adult, google, wikipedia, or someone else that knows.
