I can't see the headstock detail too well but if it's like this one it's fake.

No it has the correct script for the logo and the design I've seen on other contemporary tokais like the 3 pup SG. It's genuine just has no model identifier

I'm sure the Tokai script is genuine but I don't know that design. Has it not got a label inside the f-hole?
 
There's no label in the F hole but I've seen that headstock design in a Tokai brochure with their Chinese range. It's set up really well which makes me wonder if it was originally a trade or demo model.

Not in any 'official' Tokai brochure I've got or seen.
The ES60 headstock "design" is identical to the made in Japan Vintage and Premium series ES models.

Here's a website link. You can see the headstock design on the love rock & SG models. I seem to have an earlier China e60 with that design

Yes, that flower headstock design is a known design for customs as seen in the catalogs, but not for ES models which makes it dubious.

@Diamond: have you ever seen an ES without an F hole sticker?

That's an obvious one. The logo is completely wrong for a start. Lol
 
I just sent a pic to Bob at Tokai UK and he confirmed it was legit, It comes from a factory in Weifang, that makes some of the guitars for Tokai UK.
