Is this a genuine Tokai

I'm interested in this Tokai advertised on Gumtree:
https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/tokai-love-rock-les-paul/1328014593

However, it does not have a serial number according to the seller. Should I be concerned?

Any other useful comments much appreciated, I know very little about Tokai guitars, but I really like the look if this one.

thanks.

I just found this which says that genuine NIK Tokai's don't have serial numbers:

So I guess it is genuine.

Any other comments that people have on it would still be interesting.

thanks

I had a MIK LS and it did not have a serial number, sounded ok. This one might sound even better with the uprated pups. Price is a bit steep, would have thought nearer £250-300, but I don't know what the new pups are worth?
Just my opinion.

I guess it's not fake. Well, it looks genuine and I actually bought one without the serial number. Looks real for me!
