These are very rare Tokais.
The original Paul Reed Smith Santana model was first made in 1995.
Tokai first started making PRS copies in 2003 (LR30 and LR40 introduced at 2003 NAMM show).
So the Tokai version of the Santana model had to have been made after 2003, certianly not in the 80s as some have suggested on line.
So far I have not seen a serial number on one of these nor any paperwork/COA.
Note that there are 1 and 2 knob versions as well as dot and bird inlays.
