thanks, paladin, the first strat in 1954, what's in the neck? a deep-U, some calls it a soft-V. what about the body, are all '54 strats ash & in sunburst. is that the way they release an annual model during those period? like a '65 strat, are they all alder & coated black?

no lawsuit against tokai, only rumors, cool, lika a myth or a legend, i mean rumors are publicities, they always lead to popularity. maybe because tokai really hit it. and maybe even openned the doors for MIJ American guitars.

is the soft-v-neck & the u-neck the same?

i was told that the only true lawsuit strat is a vintage tokai 54'strat w/ 1pc. maple soft-v-neck & sunburst ash body. is it true? what is a lawsuit strat? why "lawsuit"? what is a the difference between v-neck & a soft v-neck & a c-neck?

correct me if i'm wrong, i was told that a 1pc maple soft-v-neck & sunburst paint job is aldo an indicator?

thanks ned, you said the number on the neckplate will ID the fender model & year being copied. can i post the serial# of my tokai at the fender forum to ask them the fender model & year?

i got it, the bridge is now fully flat on the surface, yet it seems the action is still a little bit high. i can't think of anything but the neck. i mean its perfectly bowed a little bit to give room for the strings to vibrate. we all know that when a string vibrates it creates an arch. thats...

ya, what do you want me to do with it, i'm a bass player. maybe i'll just let it rot. would you let me do that? my aim is to make sure she lands in to good hands, because i'm beginning to respect her. Gee, man, what's your problem? i don't even have to explain myself to you guys. you know who...

i havent adjusted the thrust rod. the problem is, i have lowered the saddles to the max, thighten the springs at the back, loosen the screws of the bridge, so that the bridge's base will touch the surface, yet the base reamains lifted. my goal is to get the maximum capability of lowering the...

we have the same problem, i did the same, loosen the screws, thighten the springs it will pull back & lower the strings, but i'm not that satisfied. i wonder if i can tighten the trust rod a little bit so that the neck's angle will decrease slightly, cuz its bowed a little which is perfect for...
