From 2003

I knew Tokai was going to release PRS type as proto type model called Tokai PR 50T and PR 48 was and still is on sale in Japan (these guitar can be found in J-guitar.com). The picture on above looks like different head shape so this is the standard version of tokai PRS type. No one taking attension at the moment because those PRS model is produced in Korea (a few people spotted, well done) including proto type I explained. So this isn't rare guitar, although, it is looks nice, I don't know any other (major one) good PRS copy, so is this the only and best copy of PRS?

LR40SGR? Prototype??? Custom order??

Has headstock introduced in 2003/04.

Definitely not one of the two colors offered in 2003.

Gold hardware.

NO SERIAL NUMBER

"Made In Japan"

Very expensive guitar at the time for sure. $2,500+

Carved top.

Here we have a bona fide Japanese-built Tokai, a rather close copy of the PRS Custom 24. Made around 2002 from what I have been able to work out. There are very few of these about in the UK, mine is in fact the only green one I've ever seen, especially with this desirable spec. I believe these had to be quite low-profile over here due to the ever-present spectre of legal action...

You sometimes see Korean-built PRS copies from Tokai cropping up, but Japanese ones (distinguishable by that strange distorted headstock shape) seem much rarer - you certainly won't see too many more of these around. This guitar has served me very well in the time I've owned it - wonderful to play, sounds fantastic and has been completely dependable. However, in recent years I've acquired new guitars that have stolen its job somewhat, and much as I've hung on and tried to put off selling it, I now need the money to spend on other gear.

- Mahogany body and set neck (tiny heel compared to a PRS!)
- Quilted maple top
- 24-fret rosewood board
- Compensated wrap-around tailpiece
- Two aftermarket humbuckers (I was originally told they are a DiMarzio Super Distortion and PAF Pro but have not had them out to check)
- 3-way toggle, volume and tone controls
- Gotoh tuners
- Weight is somewhere between 8.5 and 9lb

The neck is wide and about medium depth, and the action is really low. It's in very good condition considering its age and the fact it has been gigged quite often. Will be shipped in a good quality hard case too.

Sound-wise, it has warmth and richness that - despite its PRS-inspired styling - is almost in LP territory, but with tighter and more controlled low end. The other advantage it has over an LP is, of course, a more comfortable and better balanced body, whether playing standing or seated. Indeed, and perhaps oddly, I actually find its balance more comfortable and natural than most examples I've played of the equivalent PRS too. That low action and two-octave fretboard makes it a dream for soloing - I've played blues-rock right the way up to very technical metal on it. This guitar takes whatever you can throw at it, and just never gets in your way.

I've absolutely loved owning this guitar and I'm sure its next owner will too. I believe these were hovering around £1k new. Korean ones often sell in the £2-300 region. These Japanese models are very rare and subsequently quite difficult to value accurately, but I think £450 is a fair price for this. Second-hand PRS SE money for a guitar that is significantly higher in quality and has exclusivity on its side too. Whoever ends up with this wonderful instrument will not be disappointed.

Tokai Gakki of Japan as one would expect has really done it again with this limited edition Namm show entry and very high quality in every aspect, Nothing but Premium woods used in the construction of this amazing playing guitar. This IS NOT to be confused with the cheep Korean look alike they really don't look the same but close with goofy horns & pieced in woods of less than top notch quality cheep Philippine mahogany and nato I have see the Korean cheap knock off..I had one as a matter of fact a year or so ago taken in trade...it was a nice one see the pics of it, but that was nothing like this Japanes made TRS...WoW!!! thats AAAA Honduran Mahogany body & Honduran neck. Have a good look at that Real Premium super curly big leaf maple more like a maple 12 top, No Photo flame here!...its live in 3-d..Built to pretty much exact PRS specs...it has a beautiful High grade Rosewood fretboard too.

Just a few tiny droplet tiy artist brush tip lacquer touch ups & 1 edge og headstock tip upper right size its tiny and looks good now after nicely matching tip touch up. This was done to prevent any further chiping due to exposure and it also looks great again. JVG condition easily rated at a solid 9-9.5 excellent all original condition. You will not be disappointed with this fantastic player! When have you ever seen one of these? This guitar is truly Very rare hand built NAMM show Guitar from 2003 and is highly collectible because a limined number of these were ever made...you may see similar shape from Tokai but they changed them and the headstok and I believe the horns slightly changed to less copy PRS...
