"Quality before quantity..." 
At least that was their official motto in the early '80s catalogs and probably still is. Velcrofly posted elsewhere that he was told they won't build LS230 or higher models until the summer, probably because of that very same reason, i.e. they have too many back orders to deliver at the moment.

It is hard for Tokai getting high grade maple planks at present time.bruno said:
Even the price for it is increasing.

yeah I know I'm one of those back orders lololol :wink:
Tokai only uses higher grade woods and it's not an easy task getting nowadays.Tokai guitars demand has been increased a lot since time ago when we started this Tokai thing on the internet.Simply, they don?t want to put any kind of wood and ruining their reputation I guess,they have always concentrated in quality as opposed to quantity and I can tell this from my personal experience.
Just be patience and you'll be regarded for sure :wink: .Just think nowadays Tokais holds easily its original value if not higher(just check Reborns and early 80's Love Rocks ones).

edit: I'll be... you're right, that are for sale at digimart already... there's a ls-230 there already, what's up with that?

I wouldn`t be making this up...
there are 2 new Tokai 150s in a local shop...one gloss one matte finish, along with a bunch of 75 and 85 models.
May be Ishibashi has ordered a specific series, which is very common in Japan, with other makers as well... not sure.

you've answered your own question rosie, yours is an ALS, the ones you see on the site are probably LS's
I have heard that the factory that make the Strat type guitars for Tokai are currently making guitars for Fender and that is why there is a shortage in the Uk of those guitars at present
Dunno if that applies to all models, or just the Strat type stuff
