Hiya Peter,Hi Jacco,
I would say NO. It is not Tokai Made - nor is it Orville.
However the inlay I have seen on other brands of MIJ LPC so have a look at Burny, Greco, Ibanez, etc and pay attention to the TRC ( 3 screw instead of 2)

Hiya Peter,
I am reading all that i can on Gession guitars, and I'm reading if it was made I the 70s even into the 80s they were made in a Tokai Factory in Japan.

This is a 12 year old thread and you are replying to yourself.
If this is a legit post, I have seen no evidence of a connection between Gession and Tokai although I see it claimed often in an effort to try to sell these guitars.

Hey there. Jedi star is often wrong so I wouldn’t go by that.
Tokai apparently made Gaban guitars during the period you are referring to, or at least they shared catalogs around 1973.
1973 Blue Sky Catalog
1973 Autumn Leaves Catalog
1973 Evergreen Catalog
But I still haven’t seen any evidence of a link with Gession.
Not saying there isn’t one, just trying the be careful.
No serial #. And a screw is stripped on the rear control cavity so can’t date the pots. Any idea how to remove the stripped screw? I’m thinking of using a drill to remove the head.Oh cool! You might make a separate post for the Gaban to draw attention to it.
Does it have any serial number on it?
Very cool

You may be able to get a bit to tap that screw that will pull it out so you can replace it. It is a small screw I'm sure.No serial #.
