Thanks! I think Tokai used the same paisley self adhesive wallpaper as was used to make the original '68 Fender Paisley Red Telecaster(bottom photo)

From what I have read when Fender made the reissues in the 80s they didn't have much of the original wallpaper left so they sent the remnants to Japan were it was copied. I think something was lost in translation.Below is an '85 Fender Paisley Telecaster,my Tokai and some original Fender Paisleys.

Does the Tokai come with Bare Knuckle pickups? or is your equipped with them?

That is super sweet!
Tokai Makes some amazing copies, I've read that they play very well and sound pretty decent too.

Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm
