Does it have inserts in the body for the bridge posts to screw into or do the posts screw directly into the body ?

I would say for sure that is a Korean model, not sure which one but it has the off white covers and the bridge post inserts. I would say its an early Korean model.

Alder as well Oze. And even some plywood ones there for a while.
The earlier ones i have seen and the ones in the earlier 2000 catalogue i have are alder as well. I think the Basswood is a newer thing for Tokai.

No one seems to have much information on the early Korean models so its entirely possible that it is mahogany although, one of these came up in another post and it looked like Alder. Alder would or can weigh similar weights to mahogany. Can you post some close up pictures of the wood in the cavities ?

Sorry to tell you this but thats plywood, it is a low end Tokai and that accounts for the weight as well. Didn't you say you bought this from a shop?
I would take it back as it is not what you thought it was. It is a Korean Tokai but it is made out of plywood.

750 USD ,thats ridiculous. Did they give your money back?. You could get a lot better guitar than that one for that money. Check in first before you buy one next time, plenty of knowledgeable folk round here willing to help you out.
