Welcome to the club. The one screw and the serial number were a dead give away. Here is my Canadian Fakai. It is actually a really good guitar. Trade value was $500 Cdn. But it came with upgrades, Rio Grande pickups, Grovers, bone nut, 50s wiring.
A lot of people out there still don't know these are fakes. I saw them for sale at two major music stores in Toronto a few years ago. It appears they built in Korea by the factory that makes Canadian Dillions for a distributor in Waterdown just west of Toronto. There are a number of threads on this.

Hi Robert, there are at least 5 stores in Canada still selling these as the "real thing" and i am sure they know as well. I have contacted a few of them with no reply, even JSD still sell them and they know they are fakes... :evil:

Yes, when that poster originally posted pics, he didn't have headstock pics. I asked him to post those and he did. It is clearly a Fakai. I've actually let him know about that by private email a couple of days ago; no response and he hasn't changed the ad. But I think he genuinely didn't know (if he did, he wouldn't have posted the headstock pics) and is just now trying to figure out if what I've told him is accurate.
The link to that classified post is below. AlmostTokai guys, grab the pics before they're gone ...

To add to the observations: most of the "Tokai" that I've seen advertised in Ontario, Canada over the last 9 months, including stores, have been these Fakai -- I'd say at least 80%. Very sad ...

Thanks for that Lexx, i have saved all those pics. The giveaway on the case is the font used for the "Tokai", its the same as on the 335 fakes.
