Normally almost all (but definitely not all) "Tokai" on Kijiji in SW Ontario is a fake of some form. Tokai currently make the Kanda Shokai Zemaitis and Talbo models.Click to expand.You really don't have to wait. Atlansia have supplied body and neck parts for Greco models as well. Kanda Shokai stopped using the open book headstock design on Greco Gibson replica models around the early 1990s and then concentrated on their other model lines and Fender Japan. The no serial Greco guitars made by Tokai have square shaped routing holes at the bottom of the pickup cavities whereas the no serial Greco guitars made by Cor-Tek (Cort) have thinner rectangle shaped routing holes at the bottom of the pickup cavities. Other higher priced no serial Greco Les Paul and SG models were made by Tōkai and the Les Paul models have an EG-75 or EGC-75 model number stamped in the pickup cavity and sometimes have fret edge binding. The Cor-Tek made Greco guitars have square shaped, brick like nuts with no slope and also often have shielding paint in the pickup and control cavities. The lower priced no serial number Greco Les Paul and SG models were made by Cor-Tek (Cort) and usually have Cor-Tek (Cort) potentiometers. Some Greco open book headstock Gibson replicas starting from around 1988 had no serial numbers. Most of the Greco open book headstock Gibson replicas were made by FujiGen Gakki. Since the mid 1990s Greco models have used other serial number formats as well. Sometimes a month letter is used in an MYPPPP format.
