I'm pretty sure there's a used one at a store near me... at least, there was the last time I went in. What model are you looking for?

i have two Tokais; i bought them off eBay through overseas retailers. one was in Japan, the other was Richtone Music in the UK. Richtone don't list Tokais much on eBay any more--i think they may have gotten in trouble for selling to the US--but if you check their website you might have better luck. i don't think Tokai ships to the US per se; their stuff infringes on too many Gibson, Fender, and other patents and copyrights.

also expect to get slaughtered on the exchange rate buying from overseas...i was lucky in that i bought the second guitar in April of 2010, before the dollar started dropping like a stone.

Richtone appears to have dropped Tokai, possibly as a condition of becoming a Gibson retailer.
