Funny stuff, Tokai has NOTHING to answer for what so ever, Japan is also in the middle of a epidemic, maybe they have more important things to attend to at present. Your post is mostly speculation and false assumptions. Kurosawa should answer the OP's questions, and are solely responsible for...

Really ? This would have to be one of the silliest things I've ever read here {or anywhere for that matter}, bordering on stupid, no really. Someone buys a guitar, without looking at it, from a guitar shop in a country that doesn't speak English, the specs are misrepresented, and I highly...

Nope , old news around here, not even close to a mystery, and Mr Villager above knows more about Greco's than Greco {well almost} ..... :P

Love rock Tokai's come out in the 1980's as far as I know, they were called/labelled Les paul reborn and reborn old in the late 70's....

Are you sure its not wine red ? I used to own a wine red OBG custom, very nice guitar...

I'm trying to get motorcycle parts shipped from Japan at the moment, the businesses I'm dealing with are NOT shipping internationally, I know a guy who's business buys all their motorcycle parts from Japan and he's had to shut down until the Japanese companies start shipping again, maybe its...

I searched Tokai FSD guitar and came up with plenty of hits... https://www.google.com/search?q=Tokai+FSD+guitar&rlz=1C1GCEA_enAU831AU831&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj5rZre1_DoAhXFgeYKHavmBrYQ_AUoAnoECAwQBA&biw=1366&bih=625 And here's the original series logo...

Its a Tokai FSD model guitar {FS is for "Five star"} , 1983, I don't know too much about them but they came in both Rosewood and plain maple necks/fret boards.... Here's a maple board neck on Yahoo Japan, this is the earlier model {1982}... https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/j631286359

The front pickup cavity should have a model number, all mine have had except my custom shop goldtop...

Wait for the reply from Tokai, it may well be a model made for import, its just that so many fakes were made for the Canadian market, it blurs the lines a bit, Most I've seen were made in Korea, although with China anything is possible, seen plenty of "made in America" guitars come out of there...

LS180 Honduran Mahogany ST70 The white one is a Greco RR65 I'll post my Honduran mahogany Tokai Gold Top LP Custom order when I get some pics....

Not sure how to post pics here , my pics are on photobucket and its now crap, I can't even log into it any more....

Jesus mate, you need to lay off the conspiracy theories, I actually do know Oze, but haven't spoken to him in years, I don't care what you choose to believe. As you've said, they are your problems, not mine. I was talking about Mikes music, Not Active, it was Active that commissioned the...

He also made some of the the early LS180's , prototype guitars and custom shop orders, as you know, both my Tokai's were made by Mr Furuhashi.... :wink:
