Hi noorha,

Do you know the model number and the year it was built?
I recommend you get some pictures of the instrument posted up on here.
People on this forum will really want to know more information.

p.s. From your advert is sounds like you may not be an experienced guitarist, if you need more information on the guitar then the good folks over at  http://www.tokaiforum.com can give you plenty of advice on what model you've got.

Good luck and welcome to the forum

Thanks equalsql - for your useful comments. I will add some pics here

Hate to be the villain here, but judging by the bridge and 3 screw truss rod cover that's not a Made in Japan Tokai - is most likely Chinese or Korean

The link isn't working for me

Agreed.

Can't see the pics but if it's a flat head screw tunamatic and 3 screws trussrod cover it's either a Korean or Chinese

A model number would be nice, we all know how confusing Tokai can be for identifying a model.

equalsql

That's a really nice looking instrument. Possibly​ Korean as the build quality looks particularly good. These do go for less money than the Japanese versions so you may struggle to realise your asking price. Of course it might be some sort of 'special' as the headstock inlay is plush. Definitely have a chat with the folks on the Tokai forum as there are some real specialists over there. Good luck

noorha

equalsql - IT IS MADE IN JAPAN. Unless you don't hold the guitar, you should not make any assumptions..

noorha

It says on the body MADE IN JAPAN and the build is superior, so I will reserve my comments on it being Korean

It might be worth adding a photo of that, it's a critical factor in you getting your asking price.

it looks like a nice guitar, but as the proud owner of an Edwards LP I can testify to the minefield that is the MIK/MIC/MIJ conundrum. (Especially as companies like Edwards apparently sent some of their Japanese staff to build in a Korean factory for a time to meet demand!)

prudd

Sorry to have to  join in and say it, but it is not a MIJ Tokai, Looking at the serial number and the shape of the dimple on the headstock suggests its not even a licenced Tokai. Doesn't make it a bad guitar, you might need to rethink your asking price though.

Chill dude.. I couldn't see the MADE IN JAPAN label on any of the pictures. Care to share?

equalsql

Umm... sorry old bean but this is more like what you've got..

And given the odd headstock perhaps even..

Here's another non-Japanese "Japanese" Tokai for sale...

I guess it's an understandable mistake when the label says "Tokai Gakki Japan".

PonchoGreg

That headstock shape is very odd indeed - I have a UK market MIJ Tokai and even with the dimple the sweeps are not as pronounced. OP, I would definitely investigate further, perhaps with the Tokai UK distributor.
