Just found an Epiphone for sale in Japan, which has a Tokai 'Hummingbird' label inside, with the serial number F46.12.21, which I believe is 1971 (Showa era calendar). It has the Epiphone headstock, TRC and pickguard, and is almost identical to my own (1972) Epiphone FT147, which is a blue-label MIJ model. Does anyone know if Tokai indeed manufactured guitars under the Epiphone brand? Can't imagine why a Tokai label would be there otherwise!
