Hey Blade the seller indicated he/she will list the guitar as a gift and at a lower price on the customs shipping invoice their is a good chance no taxes will be added in the US as the guitar is cleared through ISC. Good luck.

Can't wait to see this post. I too one day am interested in purchasing a Tokai guitar, and I hate to be fooled in believing that what is for sale and claim to be a genuine Tokai is in fact a fake. Sorry, not to steal from the post, but any idea when this post will be coming out? Thanks

Thanks Marcus Any other inputs, opinions, etc. on this guitar?

Hey JohnA: "OBG reissues are top flight guitars.." Is this a typo about the reissue? Was there a reissue of a ObG?
