Hi, I’m new here I just purchased a Metalic Red Tokai with Rosewood fretboard. The serial number is 11612. What year would it fall under? I’ll be able to give more information when I take possession of the guitar. I do know that is has a very highly flam neck.Just wanting to log these to get an idea of the number of guitars made in that year and also what fits where.
