Hi guys, I'm going for TST-50 due to Black finish. There should be a code inside the control rout. The 'VII' were only used on TST-50. TST-60 had 'V' pickups, TST-80 had DiMarzio.

Well def got a 2 piece body and V1 picksups so I guess its a ST50.555555 :D Any advice on pickups: I did a gig a few nights ago with the original pickups, sounded pretty good. But i've been told (and can't help thinking) it might sound EVEN better with more expensive pickups. Any recommendations on ...

Sorry I meant 8 pounds 9 ounces ! The guitar is black (BB). If you look at the picture below, you can just about make out the grain - is this sen ash?

have a st 50 or 60 goldstar sound . Think it is mid 80’s . The guitar is 8.9 pounds in weight , is this unusually heavy for this guitar? Also I am told it is made out of sen ash . How can I confirm it is made of sen ash ? Is sen ash heavy?

Great guitar , if not a bit chunky!

All in all a great guitar!

Cheers for the info guys . It has a two piece body too. Seller assured me it is a st 60 on this basis . Is he right?

He also says it is made of sen ash . It’s v heavy is that an indication it is made of ash ?

Thanks

So what do you think it is?

Cheers dude . Sounds like the seller was spot on. Receiving it tomorrow - can’t wait!

Hi, New to the forum. I've just purchased a 1980's ST60 from eBay. I'm not sure if it is a 50 or a 60? Or what year it was made? Can you help me! PUPs are VI, L serial number, pretty sure it is legit. :-? Heres the links from ebay. Be great to have your thoughts https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tokai-Gold...
