Texas Flood ?
j'ai des doutes là quand même ...
Et pourtant, c'est un fait établi - à la même époque, SRV n'hésitait d'ailleurs pas à poser pour les catalogues Tokais

un article à ce sujet: "The guitar in the "Texas Flood" album cover is a Tokai TST-50 or TST-80 50´s Reissue. I have a poster from where the album cover is painted and you can clearly see the Tokai label, take a look at this scan from the poster. The pickup polepieces seems to be really low, so these might be the Dimarzio VS-1 pickups that are on TST80 model (anyone know??) It is the 50´s model with one-piece maple neck and two tone sunburst finish. My brother has one just like that except it´s white, and it´s a killer guitar (now with Fralin pickups)!!! The neck is really big, compared to it, the SRV model neck is like toothpick! The Tokai neck is not like a half of baseball bat, but more like two whole baseball bats!!! Must be very close to the neck of #1, the SRV signature has smaller neck than the real deal.
The Tokai is very well made guitar, a lot better than most Fender´s I´ve seen. Stevie (and Tommy) endorsed Tokai also in 1985, in July 1985 Guitar Player add Stevie is with a red maple neck Tokai and a "Tokai #1" (rosewood neck, sunburst with black pick quard ). Stevie was also in the cover of 1985-86 Tokai catalog. I heard there has been a Tokai SRV signature model (anyone???) and that Stevie had an endorsement with Tokai also earlier ??? These guitar must be good (I know they are) because Stevie would have not posed on a full page add with just any guitar, right??"
