Bought in 2003 . Tokai love rock Japan mij with proper tokai case. This guitar has such a nice tone . It really does compete with the Gibson in all aspects . Nice thick body and tokais own paf humbucker means this thing has a nice warm tone on the cleans and rocks when you kick on the overdrive . I've played many gigs with this beauty and everytime she makes me smile. Pretty gutted to let her go but needs must and my collection is way out of hand ! (one in one out )The case is nearly mint as I used a gator case when I gigged to preserve the case . Will be a collector's item in the future I'm sure . Any questions fire away . It's setup with 10 s at the moment and plays like a dream . The pots are all made in Japan . As are the pickups and the hardware . All very good quality . Thanks for looking.
