Just another new recruit saying hi! Great to find more "O" Gauge on the Western Region in the diesel era, and with work in progress too. Good stuff!

Welcome aboard Ian. Good choice of avatar.

Hi all. Another newbie dipping into a mind-boggling site!! I'm a founder member of the Ikea branch of railway modelling---- all my kits are still flat packs . My interest is what i remember,WR /LMR late 50's early 60's around Bristol. Came to 7mm when I found I couldn't see 4mm so well! Am interested in all of what I see on here but don't hold your breath for any work from me--- I'm still in thinking mode :laugh:

A Tokai - nice!

What's the Bridge pick-up? Have you modified it or was it a 'Super-Strat' from the start?

I have two Jap Strats (one with a modified system one Trem - sorry but prefer them over the FR type (each to their own of course) and one with a standard Trem) - I bought 'em at a time when the US Strats werent much cop (Gibsons were worse ).

I still bash out some Zep/Hendrix/Sab/Cream/Blues - what about you?

Nice guitar I nearly bought a Tokai Tele back in the 1980's I wish I had now as I would like a Tele - yet spend what little I have on O gauge now

Hi CME :wave:
I have 3 Strats, 2 modified Tokai's & a Charvelle, but this one is my favourite , It's been fitted with EMG active pickups , the Floyd Rose & Jumbo frets. I used to play it with 012 to 056 strings :shock: but my fingers aren't strong enough any more as I don't play as often as I used to . The Hendrix tone was awesome with those heavy strings, but it still sounds really nice with 009's.

I always fancied a Telecaster too, but I never got round to it, I love the sound of a Tele's neck pickup

I could never get standard Fender trems to stay in tune & Floyd Rose & Kahler's were all that was available at the time, if I was doing it again now I would use one of the improved Fender types.

I do still play occasionally , I was always & still am influenced by Jimi, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Robin Trower, Albert King, Buddy Guy, 'T' Bone Walker, Paul Kossof etc (the list is endless :lol: )

Cheers Phill
