The MIK guitars usually have a different Nashville style bridge instead of the usual ABR-1 bridge. Japanese guitars have a two-screw truss rod cover whereas the Korean guitars have a three-screw truss rod cover (although some early Korean guitars also have two-screw truss rod covers). The MIK (Made in Korea) guitars can be differentiated by the truss rod cover. Tokai guitars made in Korea (MIK) are lower priced guitars, similar to the Korean Epiphone guitars. Korean production started around the mid-1990s. Tokai guitars have been made in Japan, Korea and China. The higher priced Tokai Gibson replicas have nitrocellulose finishes and long tenon neck joints. The original selling price in Japanese yen is often included in the model number-for example TLS-100 = 100,000 Japanese yen.
