Is this a Tokai???

This seller seems sure it's a "70's Tokai", but I can't see anything that leads me to belive it is. Sure it's got new Fender saddles & logo fitted, but the neck plate doesn't look like any other Tokai I've seen...

Any comments?

My guess is not,that serial number is not Tokai one for me......

Beware! :evil:
Tokai, never ever made a "YNGWIE MALMSTEEN" guitar

:lol:
And Ingwie J. Malmsteen never played a Tokai we know..... :evil:

I don?t know if Tokai is making YM signature for F.Japan(it would be very possible) but if it's as nice as Ritchie Blackmore one I tried about 2 weeks ago then I like it.....

That thing is not even close to 'Malmsteen' spec. I love it when people talk about how 'fast' a scalloped neck is :roll:. Like Yngwie would be slow if someone made him play a standard strat.

I see it didn't reach reserve at ?330.30 (Approximately US $584.50) and has been re-listed at : -

I think someone should point out to him that he's very probably misrepresenting it by listing it as a Tokai.

I'm convinced it can't be any kind of Tokai, even before his "serious, professional quality mods" and despite the seller's demands of "Rare Instrument!!! Respect Due !!! "

I just hope some poor buyer doesn't fall for it thinking he's getting a high quality (& potentially highly-collectable) Tokai when that's clearly not what it seems to be.
