Hi guys I would like to nail down the detail on my Goldstar as I'm thinking of selling her on. Things like cavity codes and serial numbers are present in the pics but would like some kind of meaning if anyone knows. I guess the YSO is the colour but not sure what 12=5 means. Anyway please take a...

I have a Goldstar in the Classified section of this site if you are looking for one. There are pics in the tread take a look.

Thinking of selling my Tokai Goldstar if anyone interested. Not sure of the exact model however this is the second Goldstar I have owned and they both had L##### serials and I know it is 1984ish in era. I have included pics of everything relevant but if you have a specific image request let me...

a Tokai goldstar with LPB colour code in body cavity

so you are saying that Tokai used two different colour codes that looked the same??? by my first sentence I meant that I owned a LPB and I know what it looks like.....and that is the colour I'm after....not metallic blue.

I've only ever heard of 1984 Tokai's using LPB paint jobs as opposed to Metallic blue. Plus I owned one in the 80's with matching headstock which had a metallic look to the finish. has anyone else seen a MB colour code? This is the thing with Tokais there are so many grey areas ;-)

Yeah that's definitely Lake placid Blue.....cheers for the heads up on that guitar but not sure he would want to ship to UK.

Hi sounds like an Olympic white goldstar....when you get a chance take a look under the scratch plate and at the butt of the neck (have to remove) where the truss rod is.. if they are original they will have similar markings...e.g. 12 = 11 and the pick up cavity or electronics cavity will...

whether it was Slash playing on the record or not....it's irrelevant.....they were both dodgy..........now...... yngwie malmsteen that was a cool groundbreaking guitarist :wink: (before anyone bites my head off....I'm only messing) wanorak

had a goldstar.....one of four and I aquired!!! some vintage 1964 start pickups( don't ask.....kind of like a rescue mission...this strat was a hire and being abused!) anyway I put them in my goldstar and it made such a difference. The guitar felt complete In saying that though I recently...
