Ochay, I can vouch for the above comments---that is the same dealer who sold me the "vintage" LR discussed in the following forum: http://www.tokaiforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=9164 He maintains that he thought it was a vintage love rock, but now that he appears to be selling some very similar...

I'm just glad I got my money back. I think the next time I go looking for a Tokai, it will be in Japan.

Hi everyone, Just an update on the questionable Love Rock I purchased on Ebay a few weeks back. (see forum link below) http://www.tokaiforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=9164 The seller was gracious enough to take it back---it was sort of a disaster for both of us shipping-wise, but it all worked out...

Vielen Dank, Gottfried.

So far the seller seems to be ignoring my emails--so I guess I'll see if a formal complaint to ebay helps--- Thanks again everyone Wolf

Thanks for all the help everyone.

It looks like the buyer protection program is only up to $200---unless I'm reading paypal's thing wrong----MIST---well I'll figure something out--- The fact that this guitar is a fake isn't great news, but considering some of the other things that have happened to me lately, I'll just be...

So is the serial number a fraud or does Tokai imprint the Korean ones like this?

So you're pretty sure its not even a Korean Tokai?

Here are some images of the pickup cavities: http://img401.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tok7ra0.jpg http://img524.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tok8vj0.jpg http://img252.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tok9ku7.jpg

I took the pickups out, but there was only some illegible magic marker symbol---neither Japanese nor Korean by the look of it. The pickups and pots are unlabled----

So the white back plates don't automatically make it korean? I read somewhere on this forum that the white back plates are a red flag... I hope not javascript:emoticon(':-?'), cause the rest of it seems to check out pretty well.
