Damn, that's a good looking guitar. And as a Japanese-made Tokai, it ought to be beautifully crafted and a fine player to boot! It's a Tokai Tsunami and while it isn't a copy of any previously known guitar, I think everyone would agree that the Rickenbacker influences in the design are screamingly obvious. It's like the solidbody Rickenbacker that never was. (Having said that, I think there's also a touch of my beloved Yamaha SG-3 in the design too).
The guitar is from 2002 or thereabouts, is in as new condition, and the eBay seller claims that this particular example is a prototype although as far as I can fathom that claim is made due to the apparent lack of a serial number and pickups that differ from known production examples.
Currently listed on eBay with what seems like a wholly reasonable Buy It Now price of US $599.

guitarz.blogspot.com: Here's one that could well cause you to perform a double take... it's a Les Paul with a Fender-esque pink paisley finish! But of course, it's not a Gibson. It's a Tokai Love Rock, and Tokai of course are known for...

Japanese-made, possibly prototype, Tokai Tsunami looks strangely familiar
