What, Chris'? No, Japanese. Funny body on those SEB models - "Sound Effect Body"; supposedly designed to increase sustain by combining a large cross-cut piece of wood with the usual vertical cut. They work and all; I have a SEB LP that just sings.
Chris' LSS195 is the top-of-the range Japanese guitar.
Chris, where abouts are you based?

The open book headstock, the 2 screw truss rod cover the list price of 100,000 yen in 2006, it came in a box from Japan and the dead giveaway "made in japan " stamp on the back tell me it's a Japanese model
Yes it's a sound effect body, you can see that in the photo's in the link
I've not seen another in the UK or US
I'm probably very near you Alan, in the north west. bye-eckerslike

How big is the neck on the Tokai? Is it fat like the Gibson VOS LP Specials? Other necks that it could be compared to are a Gibby 339. I have one of those with the 50s Fat neck that I love.
I currently have an Orville LP Special single cut that sounds great but the neck from frets 1-5 is a little thin for what I like (I like big necks). I'd consider cutting my Orville loose if I could find something with a bigger neck. Here's some pics of the Orville:

(Hello !!!!)
..."handmade" or "handcrafted"...???? The guitar is totally cut from wood in England or the parts are assembled in England ?
...What about playability, fits and finish of GORDON SMITH guitars ... ?
...This is a "one piece" body like the TOKAI LSS195 ??

Both, Max. Hand cut, assembled, and finished in England.
Gordon Smith guitars are probably the worst kept secret over here, and yet still don't sell as many as they deserve to. Utterly superb instruments - I've owned, loved and lost a fair few!

Yeah, completely agree, I have had a GS for years and it's amazing. I also had Brian Eastwood craft me a LP Junior DC back in the 80's that is simply world's better than anything I've ever played.
