Since the late '80s when you could still pick up Tokais in junk shops for £120 I've been fascinated with these guitars. Not least because of the sheer lack of information available on the older models that has given them something of a 'mythical' status amongst enthusiasts.
I have a lovely cream '62 Strat copy that has "Made in Japan by Rock n' Roll fanatics" (excellent line!) on the headstock and a simple block TOKAI logo (not the curly gold logo Fender stlye logo that Fender sued them for). I've been told that this marks it down as one of the newer models but I bought it in a pretty used condition in 1993. I've not seen many with this bold, block logo and would be grateful if anyone could shed any light on this as to how old it may be? It has a serial number of L 05027.
Thanks.
