I definitely wouldn't say super thin, I think there's healthy amount of bass. Premium series Tokai LSS specs say one piece honduran mahogany. Translucent finish shows the grain nicely, but I don't know one kind of mahogany from another. Nice full neck profile and should even have long tenon neck joint, though I haven't pulled the neck pickup to check (yet...). Maybe I'll try different pickups eventually, but not in a rush now.

Mine was SUPER thin sounding, I went almost twenty years before I changed it... Sounds great now but I think the wood also makes a big difference to the sound, I put the same pickup into another solid mahogany body guitar and that sounds as good as my '58 Junior... The Tokai sounds much, much better now but still noticeably thinner...
Any idea what wood yours is made of?
