Tokai AST144MH HSH NAT Out of catalog Mahogany body used

Description
Tokai musical instrument, a long-established domestic guitar. Older individuals are now rated as vintage and the craftsmanship that inherited the same musical instrument making as at that time still produces wonderful musical instruments.

A rare non-catalog model with a mahogany body, neck, and HSH pickup layout.

With a mahogany body neck that has a peak in the middle, which is the key to the guitar sound, and has plenty of room for bass.
In addition to the HSH pickup layout and 1VOL 1TONE, the knob that corresponds to the normal center tone is a coil blender that taps the rear steplessly and a push-pull front tap, realizing a wider variety of sound variations.
In addition to the slightly flat fingerboard with 22 frets, it is easy to play due to the high accuracy of the whole, and has playability regardless of genre.

Strictly speaking, the condition of the neck may be a little high, but similar conditions are sometimes seen even with new imported brands, and it is rather good and there is plenty of room for the rod.
There is little reduction in frets, and the playability is good with the rest of about 90%.
There is a feeling of use such as cloudiness, scratches, and shallow dents on the parts, but there is no major damage and there is no practical problem.
