I know Ishibashi simply stopped shipping Japanese Fender guitars to Europe and the US a while ago, they still have them in their store though so I don't think that is the reason why they are not offering Tokais. I think that international business is only a very small percentage of their sales. And you can buy anything from the U-BOX, but the Tokais are always gone fast. :lol:
It's probably the low supply and the fear of Gibson since they also have a huge selection of Gibson guitars and they want to keep it that way. But they do sell Edwards.
Ikebe-Gakki has a few Tokais, but most of them are Talbos. They also have Gibsons and the Bacchus Universe series. I guess that Gibson isn't too worried about them.
