For Sale: Tokai USG58 – Cherry Finish – Excellent Condition
Looking for an SG-style guitar with exceptional quality and tone? The Tokai USG58 offers the perfect balance between affordability and premium craftsmanship, sitting comfortably above Epiphone models and approaching the calibre of a Gibson SG Standard.
Finished in a rich cherry red, this Tokai combines classic SG aesthetics with meticulous Japanese workmanship. Built with a solid mahogany body and set neck, it delivers outstanding resonance, sustain, and a tone that many players describe as closer to a vintage Gibson than most Epiphones. The neck is smooth and fast, with superb fretwork, and Tokai’s PAF-style humbuckers provide articulate, dynamic tones – from warm blues to biting rock.
Where an Epiphone SG Standard offers excellent value and playability, the USG58 takes things a step further with higher-grade materials, finer finishing, and a more “Gibson-like” tonal character. While it doesn’t carry the Gibson name, it offers an experience remarkably close to a USA-made SG, at a fraction of the price.
This example is in good condition, but has clearly been gigged, and gigged regularly so it has a few scratches, dings and bumps to show for it - but they just add to the guitars authentic charm!
For players who want more refinement than an Epiphone can offer – without paying the Gibson premium – the Tokai USG58 is an outstanding choice.
A superbly crafted SG-style guitar that bridges the gap between Epiphone and Gibson.
