Thanks again guys this strat has a natural finish with 65 stamped below the last fret. Just as a point of interest there are variations in specs on some models i also have a tst 60 that i know is all original still has the 60 and MIJ stickers on the neck and the Tokia tweed case, and it has a...

Hi thanks for the info , this strat has a two piece centre joined ash body. maybe thats why the extra 5000 yen is that logical?

Hi fellow Tokai fans I would like to ask the experts what the difference is between a springy sound 60 and the 65model? any help would be appreciated thanks.

Hi all , It has been my good fortune to acquire a mint condition bls 120 .the quality of timber and workmanship in this guitar is scary good. one piece back and neck .and a long tenon joint the finish is as good as i have seen, i have had a few high end mij lps +usa gibsons but this is a...

HI yes i think i will pass on this one, too much money at stake. and not much chance of getting my money back if ever i should want sell it. but thanks for the good advice.

Yes I asked questions....See reply below Hi, This one has no serial number, but that's not totally unheard of. It's identified as Japanese by the routing in the pickup cavities having square holes for the pickup legs. This is a feature of Japanese Tokai only. Also all hardware electronics are...

Thanks for the reply.... This 1 is a real puzzle. I thought the routing looked Tokai Japan and the trc also checks out. I wondering what makes him describe it as a 2001 model without serial no. to verify Do the pickups look slightly odd to you? As for the price it is a bit high should really be...

Hi i have 54 goldstar strat 4 digit serial no, its a tst 60 it has a med size soft v neck, other tokai 50s copys ive owned have had more of a D shape but i think they where tst 50 models,I dont know if this means anything personally like this one.

Thanks for that mate , they have to be quality pups and the weight is not a problem for me,im sure it helps with sustain.

Hi all. a while back i got this 50s style butterscotch two piece ash centre joined body ,big D neck tele it has Bacchus begining of the new tradition on the head stock,serial no 004081 produced by Headway under the no.I was looking for a fender 52 model at the right price didnt happen im glad...

HI Fran just to add to my previous post if the holes thru the body are the same size under the bridge as on the back to accept the ferrules that was another Matsomoku practice i dont know that Tokai did the same. .cheers.
