Hi, I have a Tokai Explorer in a very pale orange sunburst. It has 2 zebra pick ups and a tremelo.

Hi folks, have just got a tokai jazz sound bass and wondering about its vintage.the serial number is L 09177.it has normal fender shaped. Welcome to the Tokai Guitar Registry This section is the basis of the site and so far it seems to be working! By creating a database to store facts about Tokai guitars, we have been able to thus far break the serial number dating code for Gibson copies.

A decent cheap stb but thats it, you find them thrown out minus remote. The remote is fragile, and costs nearly as much as the whole stb to replace. Mtv box 1920i user manual.

The head is not Gibson style but more of a pointed strat style. It has the mention Original Series and the serial n° is 3030063. I wondered if anybody can date it? I suspect that it is 83 but am not really sure. I also need to sell the guitar so if anyone is interested I would be happy to send photos.

I should mention that there is some damage to the front but not too bad and does not in any way reduce the enourmous sound or the playability. The machine heads are not original. My moter bought one of those Tokai Model No.32 when she were young, somewhere in Norway. What a coincident. She did only preform on the local radio once, and that was here career. Anyway, I picked it up a few years ago, replaced the original strings and figured that it was really good sounding. But I was curious.

I wanted to know more about this guitar. So then I sent an email across to the UK where Tokai got some of their people, asking if they could tell me more about that one. They forwarded it to Japan where they looked in to it. And they could not find any documents or other information about it. So I'll guess it's hard to figure out more about this guitar.

But what i do know is that Tokai was established in 1947 referring to their Facebook-site. And my guitar is a Model No. Did hey make any guitar before the Model No.1? I think it might be logical that they make the ones whit the model numbers first. What I'm guessing is that they should have made those before 1970 when they started to make their Acoustic Hummingbirds. But you bought yours in the late 70's.

This is one of those hummingbirds. The pick guard and the fretboard seam familiar. Maybe they were producing the No. 32 on the side as their own model?

I don't know. All i really know about it is what you know and what you can possibly tell from the guitar itself. It features a truss rod which many people say were invented in the 1920's(which do not tell us anything about the age or anything else of the guitar). The neck is tick and nice to play on of the strings aren't sett to high. I won't drop any conclusion on the value of this guitar because I really don't know.
