I have seen 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 Japanese made TRS...WoW!!!TOP GRADE MAHOGANY WOOD The facts: This guitar was presented at the Namm Show La in 2003 That’s AAAA  Mahogany body &  neck.  Have a good look at that Real Premium super curly bigleaf maple more like a maple 12 top,  No Photo flame here!...its live in 3-d.. Built to pretty much exact #RS specs... it has a beautiful High grade Rose wood fretboard too. Mother of pearl Tokai inlay headstock and aged position markers. This guitar is in top condition and is near mint! Not new but No breaks or issues at all.  Just a few tiny droplet tiny artist brush tip lacquer touch ups & 1 edge of the   headstock tip upper right size its tiny and looks good now after nicely matching tip touch up.  This was done to prevent any further chipping due to exposure and it also looks great again.

This one is from before that and was built right for show at NAMM. The Japanese Crafted TRS Tokai Gakki Guitar.I honestly DON’T want to sell but could use the money right now. If I don’t get asking Price I’ll just put her back in my collection where she belongs.
