Nope... Limited editions had correct headstocks and serial numbers matching the year model it was based on. The 58 or 59 version was something like 201959 and the 56 goldtop with P90s was 201956. I had one of each. Trussrod cover had MM2001 on it.... these were made for and distributed by Mikes Music in Canada.... word has it that these were not Tokai licensed. Great guitars though

As someone said earlier, the early MIK's didn't have serial numbers

You're killing me here..... does it really matter? The lack of serial number makes it identifiable as an EARLY MIK Tokai.... mid to late 1990's

There's no problem with asking questions about your guitar.... but you're asking the same questions about the same guitar in two different posts. The serial number thing was answered in this thread:

It'll be alot easier on you and everybody else if you keep your posts about a specific guitar in one thread.
