Gibson SG vs Tokai SG - How does the Tokai compare to the REAL thing?

For my Presets visit: https://johnnathancordy.gumroad.com/ Right so earlier in the week I tried this Tokai SG for the first time, but I didn't really feel like I could give much of an honest take without also trying a real Gibson SG. Although the Tokai is an incredible guitar, I think the price in the UK is too similar to an actual Gibson SG for me to say it's an obvious choice?

Thanks to Mike at Rose Morris for letting me check out this Tokai USG124. This is a japanese made guitar, with hardcase, bone nut, vintage specs, (Mike also offered a discount code to viewers of this channel: "JOHNSOLDOUT" for 10% off). Here's me playing it for the first time, and over the next few weeks I should hopefully be able to show you some other cool Tokai guitars.
