Completing the line-up for our first 'affordable' T-Style comparison is this weeks review guitar from Tokai. Renowned for making 'better than original' copies we check out this Chinese version and find out if Japanese quality control is all it's cracked up to be. Warning: there will be waffle!! 🎸

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.
