I am new to the forum (actually I'm new to Tokai guitars), so please forgive me if this topic is discussed somewhere else.
I have just traded for a Tokai Les Paul copy that I was told was an ALS40. Having done research for the past few hours, it seems that perhaps I have gotten hold of a fake? The truss rod cover has one screw (not bell-shaped) and the serial number on the back of the headstock is not stamped, but screen printed. The top line says "Manufactured under license for Tokai Gakki Co. Ltd." The second line says Make in Korea Serial #050341
The top of the headstock looks correct, the shape seems to be right, it plays well, and the fit and finish are very nice.
Any help is appreciated.
