    Is this genuine Tokai Goldtop?

    Thanks for the nice and clarifying pics! Glad to hear that! I was a bit worried as my expertise lies on other brands (actually, MIJ Charvel models 4,5,6,A and MIA PRS CE) and I am a total newbie on Tokais. I tried to gather as much info before buying from this site and googling, but as you...

    Is this genuine Tokai Goldtop?

    Mike, thanks for seeing trouble for me, but would you take a look at this pic and tell if yours has similar binding in the solo cut area? What I mean is, do you also see the slice of maple wood between the binding and the mahogany body wood? I guess the key to id my guitar is to look at...

    Is this genuine Tokai Goldtop?

    Is this genuine Tokai Goldtop?

    Thanks for your comments! I phoned to previous owner and he told me that everything is original, right from the shop his friend bought it 1985 .. but you never know for sure. PU's have no stickers or anything on the back. Is it still possible that they are 'original' whatever brand? I mean, as...

    Hi, just registered as I bought my first Tokai - today! I have browsed the vintage catalogs and the net but still I am not sure if it is real or not?! Seller told me that it is 1985 model, he was it's second owned. I would also like to hear your opinion about the value of the guitar. What...
