Premium Series
Tokai’s Premium series employs a manufacturing method called 'SEB construction' (Sound Effect Body). With fully vertical grain inside, this allows the sound to expand much faster.
The neck-to-body joint on Tokai Premium guitars is a 'Long Tenon' type, meaning the neck has a tenon extending up to the neck pickup frame. Gluing this tenon to the body improves vibration transfer between body and neck, resulting in increased sustain.
