Identify this tokai

[John1324]

Hello, i have the opportunity to buy a Tokai guitar from a distance at a reasonable price (i think). However, the owner is unable to identify the exact model number. He is calling it a "Tokai Gold Love Rock" which it says on the headstock. However, i can't seem to find a match on the internet anywhere. I am wondering of anyone can identify this guitar for me and tell me what it is worth. thanks

It's pretending to be an LSS AG model.

These "Legacy Series" guitars are counterfeit/unauthorized.

Check out this thread:

Legacy Series

Everything i've said about them is from conversations between me and the board of directors/owners. The CFO and the new owner (Yuta) sat down with me when i was there a few weeks ago and it came up.

They were a decision between Jade Music (the former distributor here in Aus) and a third party Chinese factory. The Legacy guitars were never checked by Tokai Japan or authorised, they were done completely under the table by Jade Music.

Tokai has used a Chinese factory for a while, but it's not the same one that the Legacy models came from.
