Just got this one...
I love the simple design of these early 21 fret Robins... built by Tokai from 82-84.
This one got a Kahler option (The first I own...) that was installed when they came to the Rockin Robin shop.
Obviously not USA made but still reminds me of what was going on in the early Kramer/Charvel San Dimas days...
Like these guys, they made some strat heads early on and were forced to abandon that practice by Fender.
They also offered a short list of custom options and eventually moved production to ESP until 87 when they switched to custom production in Texas.
