TOKAI offers instruments supervised by the Japanese parent company, but produced in China to keep prices accessible to all budgets.
The quality is at the rendezvous and, as with Japanese production, can make the range blush Fender more expensive.
With this "limited edition" range, Tokai offers a very affordable Chinese production, under Japanese supervision, which teases much more expensive instruments.
Here a Telecaster in Black finish, with a maple touch and a linden body.
A brief historical reminder:
TOKAI became known in the 70s with absolutely thunderous (not to say superior) copies of GIBSON and FENDER guitars.
Fender called on TOKAI a few years later to produce his guitars "made in japan", of impeccable and constant quality.
Many guitarists have taken the plunge over the years with this pertinent question "why buy the same more expensive instrument with a decal fender ?!"
