its a maze this Made in Japan deal. utterly confusing to me unfortunately, so if someone would kindly clarify the following points please.
1. how does one if purchasing an instrument from ebay determine if it is indeed the genuine article? serial number! thought so but is there any other way of verifying its authenticity?
2. i was considering buying a new Tokai from tokaiguitars.com.au(,) an Australian distributor. could anyone tell me if these are the real McCoy or fakes created to exploit the growing market for Japanese made instruments.
3. are all the new Tokai?s available from the above website actually made in Japan.
bytheway what should i be expecting to pay ex shipping for a middle of the range, Japanese made Tokai SG?
cool bickies thanks in advance.
