Excellent points. First, the '62 reissue is not fake because it isn't trying to be something that is not. It was made and sold as a reissue or replica of the original. There is no intention to deceive.
However, in my opinion, the Tokai was made to deceive and is therefore a fake. Look at the logo for pete's sake -- they are trying to make it look exactly like the Fender logo! True, they stepped in with great luthier skills and replicated the crucial aspects of the original that made it a great guitar, such as the one-piece body, awesome neck, great electronics, etc. But they also replicated things that don't affect the playability or the sound, such as the headstock shape and the logo style. Why did they do these aspects if they had no bearing on the sound? Because they wanted people to feel like they had the real thing, even though it wasn't: they wanted to sell fakes.
Look .. I'm not disputing the fact that they are great guitars. I have 4 of them and they are fantastic. But, the fact remains that the early ones were intended to deceive and are thus fakes. The later ones not so much in my opinion, because the logos and headstock were changed.
As for non-US Fenders, no they are not fakes. They are made by Fender and are sanctioned by the company. They are real Fenders. The Tokai made Fenders are not fakes either for the same reason. The Tokai made 7okais are fakes, though, if the headstock and logo look very, very similar to the real Fender logo and headstock. They are good fakes, but still fakes.
