Thank you for waiting. The original, TOKAI's proud hand-written spec edition.

LS
LOVE ROCK SERIES
The perfect neck and body structure has now surpassed the original... and whispers have begun to emerge.

●Headstock & Peg
The naming of the ``Love Rock'' model is particularly impressive on the small headstock with an elegant and tight head type. No matter where I look, I can't find such a beautiful woman these days. And if you get single knurl (Icob) Kluson type pegs, the old files will be even happier. Isn't the bush type resin knob very cool? In terms of performance, we have thoroughly researched and upgraded the Kluson peg, resulting in a high-precision peg with double-thread screws that does not rattle. Look at the yoke from the front and back of the headstock and you'll be amazed! We've produced a good-looking face that will make you feel like you're getting a lot of attention! It perfectly reproduces the elegant style and flavor of the Old Standard. This is the birth of a love lock model worthy of being called Evergreen.

●Neck & Head Angle
The now familiar mahogany piece neck. Needless to say, this was the first time it was adopted in Japan. This is a natural thing to do if you're using an old model and are going to do Rika. (At Tokai, it is used in all models except for the cost performance model LS50) This piece neck made of delicate craft work that Tokai is proud of not only has the transmission performance of the past, but also has excellent strength and feel against the sizing screw. He is No. 1 in the world ranking. There are also two types of neck head angles. The LS 50 and 60 models have a 14° head angle, and all LS70 and above models have an 18° head angle. In addition, this bed angle has been the subject of much controversy as the Traditional Model is nu! No, it's 18! Gatokai decided on 18 after researching the 1958 model and the 1960 model. If you are interested, please do your own research.

●Fingerboard & Fretching
Craftma , an outstanding woodworking technique, is here as well. All models use rosewood for the fingerboard, and the position marks, inlays, and fretting are perfect. The frets are the same width as the old one, 2.7m wide, 0.quymo high fingering, and bending is smooth.
There are two types of fret edging:
① over binding (LS 50, 60, 70) and
② fret edge binding (adopted on all models over LS 80). Both finishes are excellent. By the way, the neck width is 43mm at the nut and 52.5m at the 12th fret, both of which are designed to be easy to grip. It has a super neck specification that perfectly meets the needs of professional guitarists who make full use of high technology.

●Body
``Now let's move on to the elegant and beautiful arched top body'' ``Tokai LS Series Vintage'' 3 types of body construction: <Standard> <Special>.Thorough analysis and research of old standard materials. The body was developed by the project team.Vintage model: The vintage model is a perfect replica of the Tramoku Standard, which is used by all the world's top musicians.It is made of curly maple, which is rare in the world. Completely solid veneer 2-piece top with bright tiger stripe cross grain that will make you drool.Of course, the back is made of mahogany veneer (LS200V. 150V.120V) And the public model LS100V has tiger stripe material.

■The original model with a rustic top and mahogany back. -Sae Mazzao Construction. Especially for LS80 and above, all the backs are one piece.
■High-grade mahogany with specially selected maple spies top. This super body provides good high-frequency response, making it comfortable even at low volumes. This reproduces that sound where the sound expands and expands. "vinegar

●Special model
Rare, produced in small numbers from 1955 to 1958. This model has a top and back made of mahoganino pieces. "It's called the mahogany standard. You can't taste it with maple. "It features a sticky sustain and a bluesy light sound. ・Joe Walsh has already used it and it sounds great. Demonstrates its charm in blues rock, southern rock, and hard rock.

■There is no doubt that it is. This rare model is about to become One of a Kind. You've entered the third realm.

● Arched top
Now, the last part of the body explanation is the arched top, which instantly increases the perfection and charm of electric guitars. Have you ever noticed something when you look at the arched top of the Old Standard or Toukite S series? Yes, it is actually an arched top, but if you pay close attention, it is flat from the pickup mount to the bridge and tailpiece. It has become. I think many people have noticed this, but this is also the reason why the beautiful form of the arched top appears and disappears due to the reflection of light. Tokai is the only model that is such a perfect replica of the original. It's easy to tell by looking at the flat bottom of the mounting ring (escutcheon).

●Pickups
As I've explained so far, pickups only work if you have the perfect hardware. And it shows its true potential with the characteristics of the Perfect Body Ga pickup of the Rera series, bringing out 100% of its power. Even if you mount a good pickup on a shoddy body, you won't get the perfect sound.

The LS series has a total of seven types of pickups, and each model brings out its full potential and brings out the sensibilities of guitarists.

There are three types of newly developed pickups to recreate that ‘57 year PAF: LS Vintage><LS Vintage MKⅡ><LS Dynamic). Even the square window has been recreated, and the zebra bobbin, covered type, zebra bobbin, open type, and double cream bobbin give it an old-fashioned feel.

Finally, Shiraro also has a single coil pickup. Field! Reproduces the laid-back ‘56 sound.

LS100 or more Above is DiMarzio PAF, the well-known king of replacement pickups. It is structured around.

●Mounting ring
This is common La escutcheon. At Tokai, we purposely call it a mounting ring. given name Please pay attention not only to the name but also to the shape. Also for arched top However, the bottom of the mounting ring is flat. Just now It's already explained. The charm of a perfect replica of the hold standard is alive here too. In particular, the height of the rear pickup is also the same as that of the current Les Paul. Much higher than that. The mounting ring has exactly the same dimensions as the old one. The coil plays hard even when the pickup is modified to an open type. Therefore, it provides perfect protection without being scratched. LS series uses this mounting ring on all models. saucer

●Knob & Switch Knob
Every detail has been perfectly reproduced. This is also part of the demon charm of the Shira series. It's all the same material as the old one I'm glad that it's made of. Gold top hat shape, so-called The saucer knob promises speedy and reliable action. and s When it comes to Ichnobu, it's the ultimate. Thorough analysis of old ribs and original Adopts the same top secret material as Naru. Time travel through many years at once The old color knob was beautifully completed. First appearance in Japan Needless to say, the deep, good-feeling knob is perfect for talking. Unique to Lee. It can be called a modern miracle.

●Bridge & Te
The number of pieces/special spec parts continues to grow. Bridge & Te The ring piece is also a complete replica, the bridge material is brass, and the tail piece is It's made of die-cast aluminum. The shape is also the ‘58 type and is similar to the current Les Paul. It's a little different. Please note that the center bulge is located slightly backwards. I want you to take a look at it. It's a really small thing, but if we go this far, we can It raises the level of perfection.

●Color

LC
LOVE ROCK CUSTOM SERIES
Has there ever been a guitar that has achieved such a sophisticated fusion of modern engineering and Kraftwerk?

●Headstock & pegs
Introducing a headstock with beautiful custom binding. This luxurious binding is made up of a total of 6 plies of cream and black from the Tato side, tightening the entire head and creating a rich contrast with the gold type pegs. The Tokai logo and Hearts & Flowers inlays also have a new look and are clearly defined, fully demonstrating the fun and liveliness of the highest-end model in the Les Paul series.

●Neck
Like the LS series, the LC110 and LC100, which are 1957 models, use the highest quality mahogany piece necks with a neck angle of 18, boasting not only outstanding acoustic characteristics but also excellent neck strength.

●Fingerboard & Fretting
The fingerboard is a U-type specification with an ebony fingerboard (LC110, 100) and a rose fingerboard (L (60). The position mark is a custom-specific block inlay. And the fretting is also ① fret edge binding (LC110, 100). ) and ② over binding (LC60). The finish is perfect like the LS series, but please be careful not to scratch it too much yourself and make it literally a fretless wonder.

●Body
LC110, a '57 year model. The body of the 100 is a 1-piece mahogany top and back, and the body of the LC60, which is a refinement of the reissue model, is a 2-piece mahogany top and mahogany back construction. The binding of the body is all the same composition as the traditional model, earthy, straight, and sticky. A certain kind of sustain comes from a body like this.

●Amazing body processing.

As you know, TOKAI uses an amazing computer controlled 3D router.
Accurate - A craftsman with unparalleled mechanical power and delicate workmanship. The perfect replica models are being created one after another with the participation of many people.The finish of the details is also perfect.This can be said to be true cost performance. It shows its ability in all other Tokai series such as LS, LC, ES, etc.

The ``boring process'' of the LC and LS series is also amazing.The length is approximately 38cm, the drilling machine used to drill it is over 2m long, and the drill is 50cm long. It is a method that cannot be imitated anywhere else. This is just one of the technical capabilities that Tokai is proud of. There are many more invisible technologies that go into each guitar.

●Pegs
Tuning is the key to tuning pegs/instruments, especially guitars. This peg is important.The LC series has the original Kluson GS503 mounted on the LC110,100.The LC60 is equipped with the sweat and tears of the project team. Adopts crystal Old Kluson gold type pegs.

●Pickup
Pickup, which is the key to sound, also has a talker. Lee's technology is put to good use. As a new development, Vintin's technology is put to good use.

New LC dynamic clearly asserts their individuality. Shining gold pickup cover to create tom sound Surrounded by As I've said many times before, this pickup wouldn't survive at all without the perfect hardware. Of course, the mahogany connection of the LC series is intense and different from the maple top, and the sticky sustain is really pleasant. Perfect for everything from jersey sounds to hard distortion.

LC110 is the 3P.U. specification familiar to Peter Frampton. Its sound variations are truly diverse, from straight sounds to phase-out sounds. It is a high quality specification that condenses lead work and side work into one guitar.

Removing the pickup cover reveals a double black bobbin with a square window. The force is different. When you get to this point.

●Mounting ring
Black type mounting ring is used on all models, and the contrast with the gold pickup is also good. The shape is also made with the exact same dimensions as the original custom, and the rear pickup side is quite deep like the LS series, providing solid support for the coil even for modified kids. Needless to say, the economic outlook is flat.

●Saucer knob & switch
All models have black saucer knobs. This knob, which has a different taste from the standard gold type, is also interesting because most of the shapes are different between the Old model and the current model. The LC series uses this old type saucer knob for all models. The switch knob is also the same old type. Everything uses quick and reliable control actions.

●Bridge & Tailpiece
Bridge & Tailpiece are gold type with beautiful finish. All parts are reproduced using the same materials as the original (L (110, 100). Pitch adjustment and string height adjustment can be done as desired. This method called T・O・M (tune-o-matic) was first introduced in 1954. It was adopted from a custom model. It is a special mechanism with a long history.

●Control circuit
Just because the control circuit/pickup is humbucking, it is of course not good if the switch or wiring section makes noise. Of course, this is not the case with Tokai guitars. Firstly, we have adopted a newly designed printed circuit board for the controller section. This greatly increases the reliability of the electrical characteristics and makes maintenance easier. Further improvement in terms of It's like killing three birds with one stone. Moreover, the control conductive paint is applied to the wood inside the rear cover, and the back cover is coated with conductive paint. It has metal foil on it.

●Color
LC series has 3 colors ・Factory original optional color wine red (WR) Original color Black Beauty (BB) and beautiful Cherry Samba is the first (CS). LC110.100 has a lacquer finish. The warmth The rich and tasteful colors create a good feeling.

ES
ELECTRIC SPANISH SERIES
Tokai's unique new sound concept that shocked the increasingly radical music scene.

●Headstock
Single-knurl old Kluson type pegs on the small-type headstock, which is impressively symmetrical, create an outstanding old feel. The heart and flower inlay, which was adopted in 1982, is also impressive. Neck/All models use a mahogany peace neck. This is natural for Tokai, which pursues complete replica models. Especially when it comes to semi-hollow bodies, hardware is the key. Of course, the pickup is important, but it goes without saying that the construction of the neck and body that brings out its characteristics is also important.

●Fingerboard & Fretching
The ES100 uses a rose fingerboard, and the ES150 uses an ebony fingerboard. Not only the position mark but also the hold type dot position (white shellfish & white shellfish = 6.59) perfectly reproduces the simple yet tasteful oldie feeling. Fretching is perfect and all models have fret edge binding. It not only prevents the bow string from slipping, but also ensures smooth fingering.

●Body

Jersey acoustic sound with perfect sound retention. is a taste unique to this ES series.

And the arch of the ES model is as good as the standard. Both the front and back are elegant and beautiful.

●Pickup
Tokai is a new direction and a change in thinking. I discovered a truly innovative sound concept. That mounted pickups from “ES Rock” and “ES Jazz” Model. An all-round sound system that emphasizes individuality and individuality. You can cut into Music that requires a strong character This is the project team's answer dedicated to the magic scene.

●ES Rock Pickup
A pickup developed for semi-acoustic players with a strong rock orientation. It features sharp highs, tight lows and mids, and of course, you can also freely create mellow natural tones. A well-defined sound is a weapon. The ES150R is equipped with DiMarzio PAF, a representative high quality pickup.

●ES Jazz Pickup
This is the rumored pickup that made semi-acoustic enthusiasts and professionals cry. Completely different from the previous ES rock, this one emphasizes a sound that is more like a full acoustic. The slightly muffled and sweet midtones are irresistible. It develops a rich sound that blends perfectly with chords that make full use of the 7th and 9th chords that are typical of jazz.

ST
VINTAGE/OLDIES
It will continue to deliver new shocks. The ST series continues to reign as an immortal masterpiece.

●Neck
Neck structure by age of ST series from '82 New Spec. Please take note of the 5 types of neck variations from the time perfected traditional '54 model to the historical 5 types that have passed through the golden age. Only Original and Tokai can follow old models to this extent.

As you can see in the photo, the faces that symbolize the era are really interesting and nice.

①・1954 model: Maple 1 piece. This is the original neck shape. Needless to say, everything is a perfect replica, right down to the bevels on the small headstock. The old type logo, brown points, and round string guide are the features of the 1954 model. The neck shape is V shape.

② '58 model: At first glance, it looks like there is no difference from the previous 1954 model with its maple peace neck. However, if you notice that the chamfer on the headstock is completely different when viewed from the side, especially from the rear, and that the string guide has also been changed from a round shape to a parallel two-way type, you're a great old guitar expert. The biggest feature is the neck shape. This is the case with Clapton's "Blackie".

③1960 model: The rose fingerboard neck is finally here. In fact, from the latter half of '59, all maple necks were replaced with maple necks with rose fingerboard laminate instead of maple peace necks. Also, the way the rose finger handle was applied was a flat rose fingerboard until around '62, and then changed to a rounded fingerboard. The neck shape is of course reshaped. Shibuinee~.

⑤ '64 model: maximum In the end, it will be the last face of the traditional model. This is the '64 model. Maple rosewood fingerboard. It is laminated to the top, and the technical precision is also important from this point on. It shows that it has risen sharply.

'64 model: The highlight of Soshi Matokai is the maple fingerboard neck, which is becoming increasingly popular as a very rare model worldwide. What's more, this is a model from the 1960s that only had a rosewood fingerboard, so by special order from a maple lover, it was... The product's rare neck diamond straights mark. There are many enthusiastic users such as Knopfler and Ten Ojimi Hen. ○Japanese super guitarist M.T also wears a sunburst bow on this neck. It sounds great on D. most head. All the stock logo marks have disappeared......M・TE Who is he? If you don't know his name right away, you're a guitar freak. I can't say that! Study right away.

All 5 types, Old Cruhan Coupled with the type peg, the feeling is that of an old model. If you don't, you won't be able to enjoy it. Fantastic! Great! Masa. It's a super neck.

●Position mark
When you get this far please also pay attention to the position mark. Black and white do in '65 The neck position also depends on the neck configuration depending on the age group. This is an important factor. The interval between 12F is '54 years, '60 years 29.5mm, later '64 models etc. are 22.4mm The difference in age can also be seen by the fact that it is narrower (mm). At Tokai is not only the ST series, but also the SS, TE, PB, and JB series. Accurate position marks have been added by Daibetsu. Of course, the side position is also a perfect copy.

●Frets
'54 maple piece neck and also king/fret finish. The '64 rose fingerboard and maple neck are perfect. The groove into which each fret is driven is the foot of the fret (called a tang). Each piece is cut to fit the depth of the hole, making it perfect for hard play. The stiffness of the neck, the sound. The communication performance has been further improved. Unique to Tokai ST series It's a careful consideration.

●Logo mark
Tokai Springy Sound logo mark is pasted on top of the paint using a decal method. The method of applying it is also special and uses Tokai's secret technique, which will last over time. The more you hold it, the more you get the same taste as the hold. So elegant. Gold letters with black dot logo and old Croshan head. The outstanding peg head feeling is exactly the key to the old model. It's ng.

●Body
NC that has become quite famous now. The router is demonstrating its true potential to the fullest. Until then Tokai's exclusive Ultra, which was unthinkable in the body processing. This is one of the C-like manufacturing methods. Accurately processes even three-dimensional parts. With our unparalleled "3D router" and long history in guitar manufacturing. The skill and production experience of a craftsman who was defeated is a plus. Well, it's almost perfect. In particular, “Detachable Brunette” The neck joint, which was said to be the fate of Shows a nice finish. It's just as good as a set neck. It's a level of perfection. Good in hand with other old copy models I would like to compare. You should be able to clearly see the difference. What is noteworthy is that it is finally a representative of the traditional model. The body material is entirely made of alder. Old Stratosau Of course, it has contributed greatly to the reproduction. This is material that old guitar enthusiasts will be drooling over. Mostly offset shaped waist cut body The holes in the pickup and controller are also perfect. It is reproduced exactly. World superstars and old guitars This is a perfect replica that continues to amaze and delight enthusiasts. This is the definitive version of the reproduction model.

●Peg
Oldie strat. The most important part to copy to the effect is actually this peg It may be there. So much for the sound it gives. The impact and feeling is great. Oldie Strat for everything. The policy of copying the pegs perfectly is also stunning. He is showing his workmanship. Thorough implementation of the original Kluson. The results of our analysis, research and development have culminated in the creation of Toka Kluson type pegs. Although the shape is exactly the same, this is the proud work of the project team and has been highly praised by many professional musicians as a high-performance peg with two high-performance gears that does not wobble and is easier to use than the real thing. Of course, it was the perfect gift for an old guitar freak.

 

[Sigmania]

●Pickups!
However, the greatest weapon for reviving vintage and oldie sounds is the aforementioned perfect body and neck, as well as pickups that bring out the maximum potential.

The ST series pickup model "ST Vintage", "ST Vintage MKII", "ST Hot" has been perfected by pursuing the true old Strat sound by perfecting the originality. The sound created by the best matching of perfect hardware and versatile pickups is truly unrivaled. It produces an old Strat sound that is highly praised by many professional guitarists.

Finally, the "ST Vintage" and "ST Vintage MkⅡ" adopt the same thread-knitted wire as the original, and this kind of attention to detail is a matter of course for Tokai, which aims to create perfect replicas.

●Pickguard
Tokai creates a sensation even with its pickguard panel/pickguard. Celluloid, a symbol of the '60s, was finally adopted. (Rose fingerboard model of ST Pro or higher). The subtle discoloration and slight shrinkage due to aging will amaze and delight old filers. (Just because the pickguard has shrunk doesn't mean it's defective.) There are 3 types in all, including the white 1 ply specification from the '50s. Organized by model. Perfect copy of the original pickguard, including the adjustment section. The attention to detail gives it an old feel and threatens the traditional model.

●Tremolo
Tremolo unit 1982 new spec. The same separate type as the original tremolo unit that has become a perfect copy of the original model, with the plated combination tail piece section being chrome plated, the press bridge nickel section, and the tremolo block section being zinc plated. We have also introduced technology to prevent rattling caused by separate types. As the name ``Final Spec'' engraved on the press bridge suggests, all materials and details have been perfectly reproduced.

●Pegs
The results of our analysis, research and development have culminated in the creation of Kluson type pegs. Although the shape is exactly the same, this is the proud work of the project team and has been highly praised by many professional musicians as a high-performance peg with two high-performance gears that does not wobble and is easier to use than the real thing. Of course, it was the perfect gift for an old guitar freak.・

●Pickup selector switch
Newly developed 3-stage 5-position selector switch. Please pay attention to the shape of the shaft. Reproduces the shaft shape of the old type Donzuba, which is slightly different from the current CRC type. I changed the switch knob accordingly. Tokai was also the first to introduce a switch knob that was compatible with the original model. As for the performance of the switch, it is a masterpiece created through technical development with Matsushita from around the world. This completely eliminates the creaking noise when changing the switch, as well as malfunctions and other troubles.

●Control Circuit
The control circuit section is an indispensable section to follow the old Strat sound. It is not visible from the outside, but it is the first domestically produced brass shield plate. Demonstrates a stable shielding effect over a long period of time. The capacitor also uses the same ceramic capacitor as the original, and the control circuit perfectly reproduces the old sound. constitutes a set.

TE
BREEZY SOUND SERIES
The full story of the TE series, which conveys the feel of the original as it is, while further improving its functionality as a musical instrument.

●Neck
The following two types of necks are available based on the original Broadcaster's white neck, which is a 1-piece maple neck.

■'48 Vintage Model
Perfect neck that is a faithful replica of the material of the Broadcaster released in 1948. Head stock: The elegant Crochan head, silver type logo mark, and old Kluson type pegs create an outstanding contrast, creating a classy and truly tasteful peg feel. The string guide is also simple, with one round string guide in the exact same position as the '48 Broadcaster. I would like you to carefully compare the position of the logo with other models.

■'64 Oldie Model
This is a maple neck with a laminated rose fingerboard. Like the ST Series '64 Oldie model, there are no black lines on the headstock or the back of the neck, and it is a rose neck made of exactly the same material as the original. This is the best spec for the maniac-like guitar freak. ①Headstock: Please pay attention to the position of the Tokai logo that shines in silver and the shape of the string guide. This is a Croshan headgear with an oldie feel that perfectly recreates the feel of the '60s.



■Rosewood Peace Neck
Now, the Omachikane Rosewood Peace Neck is here. That rosewood Tele that I dreamed of. It's irresistible for Tele freaks who still can't forget the impact of ``LET IT BE.'' There's nothing more to say about this neck, which has a rosewood piece with maple embedding.



●Body
Body is another highlight of Tokai's technology. The highly successful computer-controlled "NCI router" is a perfect replica of the original. The delicate finish on the neck joint and the hole machining on the pickup and control circuit are truly a work of God.

In addition, previous Telecasters had a bore hole for the wiring that ran from the front pickup to the lower right, but the TE series, like the original, has a minimally thin hole drilled from inside the body, with details that take into account subtle body vibrations. It is finished.

Furthermore, a detailed finish is used to flatten the dented part of the jack. This will eliminate problems with jack plates and improper installation.

The perfectly stretched body is a special spec unique to the Tokai TE series that you won't find anywhere else. The body shape is a restoration of the '48 Broadcaster body.The material is also made of alder.

●Rosewood Body
And here comes the rosewood tele body. Due to the characteristics of the wood material, a thin maple pattern is inserted. The rosewood body has hollowed out sides on both sides It is structured like a patch. Surprisingly, there must have been a lot of people looking at the Wood Tele without knowing this.



●Pickups
The pickups that are the source of the Tele sound are two types (TE Vintage and TE Vintage MKII).

●TE Vintage
So bright is truly a symbol of American and West Coast sounds. The sharp high tone and crying sound are reproduced using the broadcaster's coil material. Roy Buchanan, Robbie Robertson, and Arlen Ross. A breathy old Tele sound that I would like to dedicate to Albert Lee. A high response pickup that perfectly meets a wide range of needs, including rock, blues, soul, and country. A masterpiece pickup that represents single coils.



●TE Vintage MKII
Straight. The results of thorough analysis, research and development of the original coil material of TE Hot, which boasts cuff crystal, yet powerful and exciting exquisite sound quality, have been brought together to create a high-quality pickup that 100% expresses the guitarist's sensibilities.

The sound produced by the best combination of perfect hardware is truly amazing. It is the world's leading Tele sound. Both types are made of the same woven yarn as the original material, '82 New Spec, and expectations and excitement are high. It's Gari.

●Control Circuit
Have you ever noticed that it is completely different from other copy models. Smooth volume response, no muffled sound even when turned down. The range and depth of expression is truly diverse, including crisp, crisp sounds. is.

The key, the secret, will be revealed as follows. First, the volume curve characteristics, all TE series are A curves. That's also 1MΩ. The sound is still muffled even when the volume is lowered. To avoid this, use a 1000 PF capacitor to reduce the capacitor effect. It's out. A normal tone capacitor is 0.047MF. While taking advantage of the nuances the control circuit expands the range of expression.

●Bridge & tailpiece
'82 Spec The bridge and tailpiece are also perfect replicas. The TE50 retains Tokai's proud original 6WAY, and all other models are constructed with perfect replica bridges and tailpieces that match the history. The brass bridge and box type tailpiece used in the TE80 has a perfect finish and specifications that can be called the final spec, and the spiral bridge, string height adjustment screw, and round head pitch adjustment screw are absolutely perfect




●Pickguard
The TE 80N and BL finally use a Bakelite 1P pickguard. It emits the same style and taste as the original material. In addition, there are 5 types of panel configurations, including celluloid flies, etc., and they are installed according to age.

●Color
I would like you to pay particular attention to the blonde color. The vintage blonde color has finally been recreated after much effort and sweat and tears. A vintage color that is close to natural and has a flavorful color that resembles melting butter, as seen in photographs of Arlen Roth, Robbie Robertson, and others. All other colors are also made in an old style Tokai style. With the addition of the TE200 rosewood model, the lineup continues to expand.

●Special spec old parts
Pants are all old types. Strap buttons, control plates, pickguards, string guides...all special spec parts that match the original materials and do not match any other copy model. In particular, the jack holder uses the exact same installation method and materials as the original from the '81 New Spec. The TE series is a perfect replica of everything from the body to the parts and sound. Another thrilling series for old guitar enthusiasts has been born.

SS
SILVER STAR SERIES
A perfect performance with detailed details, and a transcendental content that is said to be the most aggressive rock sound machine.

●Neck
Slightly larger and heavier Crochan head that symbolizes modern strats. The silver star naming and serial number are impressive. It boasts a nice view suitable for creating straight and sharp Strat sounds.

There are 4 types of neck specifications. All models except the SS60, the ultimate modern strat, come with two types of necks: maple neck pieces and maple necks with laminated rose fingerboards.



And the '82-SS60 is finally a perfect replica of a modern Strat, with two new specs: maple fingerboard laminate and rose fingerboard laminate. The adjustment rod is not on the headstock side but on the neck end side, and the neck is secured at four points. We want you to enjoy the feel of the maple fingerboard neck that Jimi Hendrix loved so much.

As you can see in the photo, the logo type is gold letters with black spots, and the old Kluson type pegs, and this new face and modern Strato Freak are also true. All models except the SS60 are missing. As explained earlier, there are two types of necks: maple leaf piece and rose fingerboard, and rocket adjustable necks are also available




●Body

As a result of focusing on playability, a hold-type body has been adopted. The old shaped waist-cut body carved out using a computer-controlled NC router with unparalleled precision is a sight to behold. Needless to say, everything is perfect, including the pickup hole processing and tremolo block hole processing. Furthermore, the craftsman added delicate techniques and successfully solved the neck joint, which was the ``fate of detachable necks''.



In addition, there are two types of neck attachment methods: a point stop and a 4 point stop (SS60 only). The three-point fastening system has a built-in adjustment mechanism that allows you to freely adjust the angle with the neck, further enhancing playability, and perfectly replicating the super balanced body of a modern strat.





●Pickup

SS series that pursues contemporary music. These are all professional types that pursue a fatter, more powerful sound.

Consists of 4 types:
① Dimarzio Fat Strat (SS80, 85N)
② ST-Vintage MKⅡ (SS60)
③ SS Super (SS48.50)
④ SS Hot (SS40, 38).

Both provide well-balanced versatile sound. These are all powerful pickups that can express 100% the greatness of a single coil sound that is best suited for wide-range effects.

●Pickguard Panel & Pickup Cover
There are two types of covers that wrap around the high-energy pickup and the pickguard panel that mounts it. The east horizontal grid recreates the feel of modern Strats from 1965 to 1970. White La ply pickguard panel and white pickup cover. It is used in the new model SS60, SS50, and SS40 3E Dell. And Yokozuna of the West has a blackface pickguard, a popular item in the New Rock Age. It's the same ply and it's a point stop. The pickup cover is also black and has a fearless surface, so the sound produced is unparalleled in power. Adopted for the highly individual SS series pickguard panel, SS80, SS48, and SS38.

●Peg
Modern There are two types of pegs that perfectly fit the Croshan head. SS38-40 has bushing type Fender style pegs. The SS48 and above are each equipped with an innovative peg with a rotomatic Fender-type knob. The Ototsu Rotomatic pegs have large washers and nuts, but the SS series is designed to be particularly small, and the tension and weight have been carefully considered to demonstrate its capabilities in terms of sound quality. SS60 is the new Old Kluson type peg with exciting specifications.



●Bridge
Die-cast bridge is used up to SS48. SS60 and up to SS85N use a brass bridge that accurately captures string vibrations and produces an amazingly long sustain. Its name is Long Sustain Bridge, and the pitch adjustment and string height adjustment screws are plated with black chrome. Configuring a heavy-duty tremolo unit It's a powerful weapon.



●Pickup selector switch
ST series Adopts a newly developed 3-stage 5-position switch made of the same material. Phase-out sound and reliable and smooth transitions can be determined as you like. It is a high-quality design with an emphasis on functionality.

●Control circuit section
Although not visible from the outside, the control circuit section uses the first domestically produced brass shield plate. Demonstrates a stable shielding effect over a long period of time. Special attention has been paid to the wiring and maintenance is easy.



In order to enjoy your guitar for a long time, try adjusting the neck pitch and string height yourself. The guitar world will expand more than ever before.

●Tremolo
Just like the tremolo unit/ST series, the arming sound has always led the heated rock scene with its aggressive sound, but on the other hand, it is extremely prone to going out of tune, and could end up being a lost treasure. Tokai's tremolo unit is dedicated to guitar freaks and guitar kids who have had bitter experiences who have given up because they have no choice. This vibrato system has special specifications that allow you to enjoy exciting play with extremely little deviation. The reason is that the total precision of the tremolo unit is excellent, and that the related parts that make up the tremolo, such as the nut adjustment and tension, are set with great care. Future Van Halense Ritchie -This is one I would recommend for Blackmore.

PB
HARD PUNCHER SERIES
Special specifications befitting an old model king, with careful consideration and pursuit of every single detail.

●Neck
PB series necks are roughly divided into two types: old type and modern type. The old type has a PB80 maple 1-piece neck and rose fingerboard laminated maple neck. The new model PB Nuro is available with a laminated maple neck with a maple finger handle and a laminated maple neck with a flat rose fingerboard, creating a unique feel. The modern type has a maple peace neck and a laminated maple neck with a rose fingerboard. Tokai is the only PB Leeds that has this much. Choose according to your personality.

●Frecking value
Frecking is also perfect. Needless to say, the NC router is also used in the grooved parts of the frets. One by one, the grooves are cut accurately and with a radius, and the frets are hammered in by the craftsman with great care. The filed neck has a perfect finish. The pitch, diameter, etc. of the position marks are all perfect. I compared it to a monophone. The bodies/PB series are all single-handled, and each series of bodies demonstrates its outstanding mechanical power, and the NC router that is the talk of guitar kids creates perfect and elaborate bodies. The offset shaped waist cut body, neck joint, pickup hole processing, etc. are a perfect combination of ``modern engineering'' and ``hands'', thanks to computer control that boasts unparalleled precision and the delicate spirit of craftsmanship. It's a perfect body. A PB sound that can be said to be the representative sound of a pickup/electric bass. Introducing a pickup that creates a tight and powerful sound. Literally, the re-pickup is the heart of the bass, and when it works in perfect combination with the pickup body, which has excellent performance, the expressive power of the P B model becomes limitless. The PB series has three types of pickups: PB Vintage for the PB80, 70, and 60, PB Super for the PB 50 and 48, and PB Dynamic for the PB40.All of them are newly developed split-type single-coil pickups full of individuality. is adopted. Split-type pickups are basically single-coil pickups, but they are a revolutionary pickup that creates a humbucking effect by combining two of them. In particular, the PB Vintage uses the same coil material as the 157PB, and has special specifications for everything including the magnet and coil wire to reproduce the old sound. Also, the lead wire, which is made of 53 human line covered wire, is also a big attraction.

●Pickguard
Pickguard can be customized according to the individuality of each model. The 7 vintage models from the PB80-85N maple peace neck specification are equipped with an aluminum hairline finish pickguard panel. This was the biggest feature of the 957 PB, and the aluminum pickguard panel itself was also a shield panel, completely shutting out external hum. Others, In addition to celluloid white Laply pickguards (PB70 and PB70), which were the first domestically produced pickguards, there are five types, classified by model and year: white 3-ply and black ply. There are 3 types of pegs/pegs. PB40/48 has a 3-point fixing plate fender type, and PB60/65N has an original 4-point fixing plate fender type. All are top-quality pegs with torque adjustment. Even delicate tuning is reliable, and the design and usability are outstanding. Finally, the PB80.70 uses the old Krewson type reverse winding peg, and the small type peg button has a 4-point fixing plate. We have completed high-precision pegs that exactly convey the feeling of the original 57PB. ●Control circuit/All models use a brass shield plate for the control circuit. Demonstrates a stable shielding effect over a long period of time. In addition, there is no need to solder the ground wiring directly to the cover of the variable register, which is a Tokai friendly design that improves maintenance.

●Tailpiece & bridge
3 types of tailpiece. The PB80 and 70 have the same spiral bridge as the old, and the inside is brass. You can't see it with the naked eye, but it's an original part exclusive to Tokai that has the highest specs and greatly improves long sustain. The PB60 and 65N have a standard brass bridge, and the PB40 and 48 have a steel nickel finish bridge and tailpiece. Special spec parts/PB series parts are all special spec. It is a specification that is difficult to imitate elsewhere. Careful attention to detail, down to the single screw, creates a perfect replica model. It's a small thing, but this is the fate of the Old Model King, and it's also part of his charm...
