A solid alternative to the Epiphone EB-0 basses as the SGB-48 features a mudbucker sitting against the neck and mini humbucker in the bridge position - achieves the full tonal spectrum and is a great bass for playing all styles of music. There's still plastic on the pickups, truss rod cover, and electronic cavity cover - shows very few signs of use. This is a fun short scale bass that's in really good condition. Up for sale, a 2018 Tokai SGB-48-CH in great condition and full working order.
MIK Love Rock models identified in this manner include ALS48 and ALS50Q.2018 Tokai SGB-48-CH Traditonal Series SG Electric Bass Guitar - Heritage Cherry Sometimes the model number may be located under the bridge pickup. Some MIK Love Rock models have no serial number and simply have "Made In Korea" inked on the back of the headstock. It also appears that some of the original 1978 "Les Paul Reborns" have inkied serial numbers These guitars are, it is generally agreed, from 1980 (00xxxxx and 01xxxxx) and 1981 (11xxxxx) although there are those who would disagree with this. There is a major exception to this in that some "Reborn Olds" (very rare) and "Love Rock" models have inked serial numbers on the reverse of the headstock (often referred to as "Inkies"). Reborn models use only the first digit for the year, 800XXXX = 1978. Love Rocks use the first digit of the serial number for the year, 10XXXXX=1981 and starting in 1989 Love Rocks use the first two digits for the year, 89XXXXX=1989. Tokai uses a seven-digit serial number usually pressed into the back of the headstock for the Gibson model replicas. Furthermore, MIK Gibson replica guitars usually have a neck made from maple, and the body wood is usually made from either alder, agathis or nato.
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.
