I keep reading that the new production Korean Tokais are from the same manufacturing plant as the Epiphone LPs and similar 335 style copies. (Samick?) Anyone got the straight scoop on this?
Thanks,
Dave
 
One group of people seem to believe that everything Korean is either Samick (which IS huge) or Cort made. I've also heard that the Tokai guitars are made in Korea by another company called Fine Guitars. I know that both the Japanese and Korean Tokais are great guitars, I'd just like to know why there's not much concrete info on who's producing what's on todays market. BTW: I just traded for an L-5 knock-off Samick Greg Bennett Jazzbox that is unreal with how it plays, looks, and sounds. To get the same quality instrument produced in the USA would cost prolly 4 times as much...
