(Note 2) About the left guitar / Currently, Tokai does not make any left guitar.
 
I noticed that in 1981 they offered lefty versions of their flat top guitars.

"we are currently producing left-handed guitars for the entire series"

By 1982 they clearly say that they are not making left hand guitars.

"Currently, Tokai does not make any left guitar."

By 1985 they are making left handed guitars again.

Edit: Have now seen a second one. Likely a limited run. Serial number of second one is not far off this one.

Possibly a one-off custom order?

Tokai Springy Sound 50 Jeff Beck 1979 トーカ... - ヤフオク!

Serial number......9004820 Made in 1979. Weight......4.2kg.

The Jeff Beck specification is similar to Greco's specification, so it is only the shape of the appearance. The neck shape is U-shaped, and the pickup is U-shaped.

Overall, it is in good condition. It may have been made to order when it was brand new. The condition of the neck is almost unused. There is one place where the paint is peeled off about 0.5mm . Pick up.....All three are OK, but they have been in storage for a long time, so please tune up each part before using them. We plan to ship 160 sizes, and they will be sent in a hard case.

"This is a rare shop model tuned by Honda Sound Works.
The pickup remains the original, the wiring material is changed to vintage wire, and the capacitor is also rare.
I bought a beautiful second-hand instrument 10 years ago and have only played it a few times at home.
We will deliver by cash on delivery courier."

tokai es220 ctm トーカイ セミアコ 335 - ヤフオク!

Tokai es220 ctm
This is a one-off order item from a certain musical instrument store.
The color is burgundy mist metallic.
I played it for a few hours at home.
I used it carefully.
There was an explanation that the paint was a little rough because it was an order product, but it didn't bother me personally.
Purchased new in March of this year.
The protective sticker on the pickguard is still on.
I need your help by a no claim no return.
