What are the differences between a BST-62V and 64V ? I have a used Bacchus, it was advertised as a BST-62 but looks very similar to the 2 in the above posts. The only difference I can see between mine and the ones posted above is the positioning of the scratchplate screws. The guitar has 3...

I think the refin is great too :D How hard is it to do the reverse - remove the paint from a guitar and make it natural looking? Is it a lot easier to do a refin like the one in this thread because it was a natural finish to begin with, or could the same thing have been done had the guitar...

I think this guitar has been available online for at least a year. I almost bought it as my first Tokai before I found this forum, and saw one here instead (thanks stratman323). I have seen this guitar on the Rakuten site, a japanese guitar store's site (forgot the name) and it is still...

vi pickups info in this thread too http://www.tokaiforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=8668

do you mean the transfer?

I would agree with this. I very recently sold a goldstar on ebay after I had it refretted but it did not increase the value at all IMO. I think if you put it on sale with a refret it you might get slightly more for the guitar, but nowhere near what it cost you for the work.

Here is a link to some pictures of the goldie with the "Made In Japan By.." decal. http://www.flickr.com/photos/46160831@N08/sets/72157623035123767/detail/ Were there differences in goldies in US and Europe? Could it have something to do with that?

One of my goldies has the first set of words. Does this mean the date of manufacture can be narrowed down to a particular year?

Hi, I am selling my white Tokai Goldstar. I don?t have enough knowledge of these guitars to give detailed specs so I have taken a lot of pictures instead: http://www.flickr.com/photos/46160831@N08/sets/72157623035123767/detail/ The pictures of the insides/neckstamp were from the seller?s...

@rockin johny, @muccax PM's sent! Thanks

HI, thanks for the reply, Yeah you're right its not really what I had in mind at the moment.. although I might be interested if I am not lucky in my search! Cheers

HI, I am looking for my first tokai strat. I am after an st50 or higher that if I really like I can eventually invest in a higher end one. I would prefer it to be beat up / knocked / chipped etc, I am definitely not looking for a mint guitar. I intend to use it regularly at gigs and don't want...

Hi, Please could you give me your opinions on these guitars, I like the look of them both but I think my main priority is value for money. The springy sound looks in good nick but will prob cost nearer 25-30% once tax and duties have been added...
