Hi there,
[apologies, initially posted in wrong sub-group ]
I have a Tokai (335 shape) which I'm trying to identify/age. I bought it from a colleague in about 2003/4, I'm not sure where he got it from but he said it had PRS pickups in it.
I know it's not Japanese as it's got made in Korea on the neck (no flies on me). But I can't see a serial number anywhere which makes me wonder about it - perhaps it's fake? it doesn't have square inlays on the neck so I don't think it's a ES-160-SR is it a ES-155-SR?
I'm not an expert but it 'feels' and looks very well made and plays great.
Snaps below:
Any advice or comments most welcome.
Thanks,
Luke
