Tokai makes a great 335 for the player on a budget. Of the Japanese 335 repros, these are the most accurate. The guitar is in perfect working order. It plays and sound great. It's got a few minor nicks, some holes in the bottom rim where there used to be a trapeze tailpiece, and some wear on the pickup covers' nickel but other than that, it's in good shape. No issues with fret buzz and the neck is nice and straight. I'd say the frets are at 98%, there is barely any visible wear.
It comes loaded with Peter Florance (RIP) Voodoo 59 pickups, which are terrific. The harness has been upgraded as well. The guitar also comes with a GATOR Gibson style case.

I would describe the neck profile as medium C or but feels like a 60s style Gibson neck, there isn't a lot of shoulder, otherwise it'd be close to a 59.
Neck dimensions below:
Depth (in inches):
1st 0.86
7th 0.94
12th 1.02
Width (in inches, widest part of neck):
1st 1.69
7th 1.92
12th 2.06
It's really a lovely 335, the only nicer 335 I've ever played was a $4500 Collings. Good semi-hollow sound when played clean, and can get after it almost as good as a LP with some gain. Very nice top carve on this one as well (if you're into that kind of thing).
In some of the pics, the bridge is backwards. Those pics are from a previous owner and I've corrected and re-intonated the bridge since then.
