The Tokai PRS my buddy bought has the recessed knobs and such. His is quilted. I'm pretty sure its Korean, as it has the printing on the back of the headstock. I think it has a made under liscence disclaimer and it might even say "made in Korea".
About P90's:
They positively rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I recently picked up a "player" '68 SG Special with original P90's. It is huge! These pickups can do anything. While they won't quite crunch like a hot humbucker and they won't quack like a clean single coil, they definitely bridge the gap and come pretty **** close to either. It's my first P90 guitar and it will absolutely be a major force in my arsenal going forward. It is defintely something that can handle your entire set. Unfortunately it is now in the shop getting a refret.
I also looked at a NOS PRS McCarty Soapbar from a few years back (shop floor model) which was around the same price. I just figured why not go for the real thing.
