Hi!
To my knowledge the delta between ES130 and ES135 is block-inlays instead of dots.
The ES150/155 will have jacaranda fret-board and probably fret-edge binding. I don't know for sure as I never owned one.
Please feel free to check the registry.
Cheers. Rup

Btw: the Yen is still mainly pegged to USD. So it's a good time to buy from Japan. Also the EMS shipping charges have not been increased (yet).
I am sure this will change in a few weeks.

From the folks at Richtone Music -
Main Visual Difference is that it has Block Inlays and a shorter 60s style pick guard.
The ES155 (Now called ES175) is on the right.
This is designed more around a dot reissue with dots and full 50s style pick guard.
The woods are of higher grade on the ES155(ES175) it also comes fitted with brass saddles and aluminium tail piece which boost sustain/resonance. You also get the top of the range switches and pots.
The flaming on the ES155 (ES175) will be of higher calibre as well.

What a ridiculous way to name guitars! An ES175 is a famous Gibson semi, totally different to the Tokai model. This can only cause confusion. :x
Surely it's not beyond the wit of the managers of Tokai to come up with a sensible way of naming their guitars, like the did with the Springy, Goldie etc.?
