I just wondered because it seems to me that Tokai guitars have almost attained a kind of mythical status in the minds of some and I wonder if that doesn't help make their success and popularity almost self-fulfullilling. I had barely even heard of Tokai guitars until about 3 or 4 years back. I...

Thanks for the follow up. It's the old three barrel kind. I could post a pic if it would help?
