You need to post pics for us to be able to tell.

In 2004 there were a lot of unauthorized Tokais made in Korea. Often called Fakais. Many have a sticker on the back of the headstock and the phrase “Make In Korea” instead of Made.

See here:

Manufactured Under License For... Fakais

Did you buy it?

If it is a solid top guitar and not a veneer, then it is worth a good bit of money.

These are usually mistaken for the later Chinese and Korean veneer tops and under-priced.

I have seen that particular guitar change hands several times and I doubt any of the owners realize what it actually is.
