The "Gession" SG is a rare MIJ sleeper from the golden era of lawsuit guitars, rumoured to be built by Tokai in the late 1970s. With its sharp double-cutaway horns, slim neck, and aggressive stance, it channels the classic SG shape with surprising accuracy. Built for the Japanese domestic market, the Gession was never exported and never branded with the Tokai name, but the build quality, fretwork, and materials are a dead giveaway. Players chasing vintage feel without vintage price tags have started hunting these down—especially in faded cherry red and tuxedo black finishes.
