Hello all.

I've been looking at a Tokai Love Rock very similar to my own 1981 model, but it's obviously not original. The knobs are chrome knurled, similar to PB and I don't think the pick up surrounds are original.

The headstock and truss rod cover don't seem quite right either.



It has a 6 digit serial number stamped on the back of the headstock which is 083290.



Any help identifying or dating this would be greatly appreciated, before I end up with either a fake, or a late Chinese.

Thank you all
 
Thank you for the replies.
I've been doing a bit of digging and it seems like this could be from somewhere around 2000 to 2005. Apparently the 6 digit serial number is quite rare. The one thing I have worked out is that around that time Tokai identification was a real minefield
I know the Chinese models have a bad name, but at least it's not a fake. Do any of you know how old it is?
