Can't tell much from that picture. Do you have the link?

Some Korean ones are counterfeit, some aren't.

All are laminated tops I believe.

Here is something I put together on Tokai built PRS copies.

PRS Copies

Hard to tell when this was made. It is after the PRS clones began in 2003.

Possibly when most production shifted from Korea to China for budget models around 2005.

Not sure when they stopped contracting all models in Korea.

And some factories continued to make guitars labeled as Tokai that were not authorized.

Korea has always been a big gray area. Not much known with certainty.
