Tokai is a company with a rich history. The Japanese guitar company has been around since the 1950s but really became known worldwide in the early 1980s. At that time the guitars of the Japanese company were immensely popular due to the dip that both Fender and Gibson were experiencing; people started looking for alternatives from Ibanez, Yamaha and...Tokai, among others. For years there was no import into Europe from Tokai and the guitars were off the radar for a long time, causing the brand to fade further into the background and at the same time -among enthusiasts- gaining cult status. The "better than the original" image has stayed with many guitarists and has been passed on to the younger generations and we are pleased to offer a large collection of both the affordable Chinese and the professional Japanese collection
And this is the real deal! This Japanese built Tokai is friendly priced but with fat specs like; 2-piece mahogany body, 2-piece maple top (AAAA maple quilt veneer), rosewood fingerboard, one piece mahogany neck, PAF-Vintage MK2S pickups and a switchcraft 3 way selector switch
Includes deluxe Tokai case and certificate.
