I ASK ONLY BECAUSE THE SPEED NOBS HAVE A DIFFERENT CONFIGURATION. THEIR IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.... I THINK..

It has quilted top, ask the seller for some more detailed pics.

The knobs are aligned wrong...It's a fake. The horn is like a Heritage h150
the knobs are positioned backwards and it has a rounded headstock.. I checked ebay and there's a fellow with the exact guitar in white and he states it's a copy of a tokai but made in japan nonetheless...
 
Not sure it's fake. Just FYI - check out this thread in Sightings.

I would pass regardless, FWIW.

It's NOT a fake.....before you start spouting off such claims, do your homework first. It's no wonder why every other post is titled "Is This A Fake?".

Read this thread from just this week and might I suggest you read mosts posts to this forum? You might learn something:
