I acquired this approximately a decade ago with the intention of selling it, but I lack information on its specifications.
It seems to be a Tokai LC85 BBE LTD model, with an ebony fretboard and a black finish.
The neck has an oil finish, and the serial number is 0617124.
The pickups appear to be Seymour Duncan. Likely second-hand.
The electronics consist of 500k pots for volume, volume, tone, and a 3-way blade switch. Tone controls are functional, they are quite subtle in effect.
I quess these are build around 2006. Am i correct?

Could someone assist me in determining the following details:
Scale and radius?
Fret material?
Nut material?
What type of wood is used for the body?
What material is the neck made of?
Hardware used? I recently replaced the bridge with a Gotoh due to the original one wearing out.

Also what would be price range with hardcase on this one?
 
Looks like in 2007 at least there were two models available in the catalog.

Both had rosewood boards.

The S model was available in black and had a maple top.

If it is a Limited model, it was likely a special order by a store/guitar shop and the specs would have been determined by the person making the order.

Can you post photos?
 
So:
Maple cap
Mahogany back
Mahogany oil finished neck
Jumbo frets
MKII pickups were original

Wow, this community is fantastic and welcoming! Appreciate all the helpful information, guys.

Here are the specifications:

  • Body: Mahogany back with a maple top.
  • Neck: Mahogany with an oil finish, ebony fretboard, and jumbo frets.
  • Hardware: Gotoh hardware.
  • Nut: Bone.
  • Pickups: Second-hand Seymour Duncan pickups.
It's the same model that @Sigmania posted. Thanks for looking into it.

I'm selling it because I rarely play it; my Telecaster handles most of my needs. What would be a reasonable price to ask for it? It's used and was my main guitar for many years, so it has a couple of dings here and there, but nothing major.
