Thanks for the links. Very interesting. What a tangled web. It's unfortunate that the store I bought mine from is no longer in business (Mother's Music). Maybe if they were I could ask them to go back in the records and see if Dillion shows up at all.

No, sorry I've not heard of Dillion. I'll just mention one other thing the salesperson told when I bought it. I wasn't keen on the Mustard color, and as I mentioned the salesman said it had been sitting on the shelf for a while for that reason - not that popular a color, but it was the last...

Hi everyone. I bought a Tokai made in Korea Telecaster in 2005 from a store in Edmonton, Alberta Canada. One of the guys I jam with (didn't know him when I bought it) told me Tokai's are some kind of classic and sought after, but after some reading, I think it's only the Japanese one's from the...
