New fakai edition on the market place?

They also don't know how to spell license.

The tobacco SB one is really bad, even the controls are back the front.

I have a standard reply to these "Fake" listings now and have already had a reply and the listing removed, the guy that had it is in America but bought the guitar from Canada..........No surprises there.... :-?

What's with the headstock on the middle one?

Pegcityrocker · Feb 8, 2009

The one in the middle looks like a Dillion headstock. Probably from the same factory. Those aren't new; they started selling them in shops here in Canada in about 2003 - 2007. There are still a few shops around that are selling out there old stock of these.

i think licence is ok. american english seems to change a lot of "c"s to "s"s (e.g. defense/defence).

not saying they're not fakes, just saying that it's spelt correctly if not aimed at the american market.

Spelled? :wink:

I'm used to the alternative spelling of words such as colour for color, mitre for miter and so forth but never seen licence - guess I was just piling on to their "Make in Korea" faux pas.

Do they really use maple /Mahogany? Some reviews said they used Alder.

leadguitar_323 · Feb 12, 2009

The "real" korean tokai's were alder at the time these "fakes" were made.

haha, yeah, spelt is another one! :lol:

How can you tell if they are made of Mahogany or Alder?

leadguitar_323 · Feb 13, 2009

When you know what alder and mahogany look like it is easy. Google it and have a look, they are different colour wood and have different grain.
