That one looks identical to my surf green 2002 AST-50:

The cheaper korean maple neck models did not have the walnut plug for the trussrod on the headstock since they have glued on fingerboards. The japan made AST-50 had a one piece maple neck.

I really recommend the AST-50, it's a great guitar, only the switch is inferior and does not cost a lot to replace. There's no "made in japan" sticker or stamp nor a serial number on mine. Tokai started with serial numbers/made in japan stamp again a year or so later.
