Many Japanese original designs had the pad on the back of the guitar. I have a book, 'Bizarre Guitars' that has many original Japanese models as well as copies. It's a facinating browse only as it's printed in... Japanese of course. six Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 05-2006 Posted on Sunday, October 01, 2006 - 12:02 am:    I saw it last week. Reminds me of the back of the Gretsch White Falcon. Kind of funny actually...

I don't know though if or when that guitar was built by Tokai Gakki.
