Hi all, I am new to this wonderful forum. I have a few questions, if you would be willing to help me.
I just ordered my first Tokai guitar ever (always wanted one, never had the chance).
It is a used Tokai, advertised as the LS135Q model with a violin finish. The guitar has not arrived yet, but from the pictures it looks like the serial number is: 0409059, which I believe makes it a 2004 guitar.
Here are my questions:
1. I read that prior to 2008 the LS135Q guitars were meant to be very similar to Gibson R8 specs, is that right?
2. Does that mean the neck of this Tokai will be fat like an R8?
3. The current LS135Q guitar specs seem to indicate short tenons, but are the 2004 LS135Q long tenons?
4. Is the finish nitro?
5. Finally, I know Tokai is famous for quality and consistency, but how do these 2004 guitars compare in terms of quality to the older and new Tokai guitars?
Btw, here is the link where I bought the guitar from, with pictures:

Thanks so much for your help,
