Those Tokai Strats are fantastic! How do you know it's a Tokai?

I completely agree, I have been playing my red Tokai (with ESP neck) since 1983.
Great question, how do you know if the body is a Tokai?

Thanks for the info Surf Skater. You are a true gentleman. One would think a post from the OP to close the thread would be appropriate, eh?
