since no-one seems to know for sure if Tokai used Braz in the early years, I want to try to find out, so if you have a reborn with what you think could be a braz board, could we all post pics please.. my thinking on this is that if Fuji-gen were using braz as the norm on 80000yen guitars and higher, in 1980/81, which was the case, then I think its pretty likely that tokai were also sourcing Braz at approx the same time.
I have found nothing documented to point either way, so would like to collect as much data as possible..
I have quite a bit of experience with what I know 100% to be Braz, and what I know 100% to be Indian boards, I know its not simply a case of one character defining the board as Braz, eg ''its got small pores'', or ''its got a great striation dark/light pattern'' these can be pointers, but are not defining ones..
I keep seeing early tokai's with what I think are braz boards. But I also see many more which I think are Indian....
