Well, to get the full picture, we need to have enough photos of the guitar in question. Providing measurements of the neck plate spacing would be good as well. From looking at hundreds of auctions on ebay/ yahoo over the years I can say that I have seen pictures of an 1978 Springy without the pickup...

sold , please delete

I have one or two of them in my parts drawer. One from a SS-500 and one from a Greco DC Junior.

Have to look up how much shipping to the US would be..
If you´re interested, please PM.

Impossible to tell if this is even a real Tokai from these 4 photos.... So my advice would be, stay away from the deal until getting more detailed pictures from the seller or inspecting the guitar in person. There should be production code stamps in the control cavity, in the neck or bridge pickup r...

Nice mint example of a Super Real TL-800. If you prefer U-shaped necks you could keep your eyes open for a late 1981 or early 1982 TL-800. They changed the specs a bit on those and went from V-Neck to U-Neck. Different Bridge pickup and tuners as well. Staggered polepieces on bridge pickup and 8mm h...

How do you know if you have DiMarzio VS1? I have a strat (st-100) coming in a few days. I hear the E series sound good and I also hear they sound bad. I was thinking about swamping them for Fralin hot PUs. Well, a vintage ST-100 is a great thing! Why not try how it sounds with the stock pickups bef...

Hi All, - I was under the impression that the neck on a maple board should have been a V profile, but it's more of a fat C or U shape. Definitely not a V. - The pickguard is a WBW 11 hole, and I would have expected a maple board guitar to come with a single ply 8 hole pickguard. - the neck and body...

4 watchers who want to see if it sells ...

I don?t think anybody will pay that price

It was supposed that for pre Super Real era strats that "SUPER SOUND" was used for SE600 to SE800, and in the catalog for 1980, the only guitar with that logo is the SE600. So I was misguided here. The small headstock strats for the pre Super Real era all have the Super Sound / handcrafted logo. It...

Very interesting guitar. That?s SE-380 specs all the way. If you look at a few 380s from 1980-1982 they all have that routing (because of the S3 pickup cables which attach to the side of the bobbins and not to the middle) as well as those pickups, tuners and unstamped saddles. (1980-82 SE-500 and up...

Looks good,

look at the back of the headstock, SS-48s have Schaller-style tuners.
The pickups will probably be original Tokai Greybacks but they are NOT Dimarzios.
Dimarzios only came with high-end SS-80s and had black bobbins.

That?s an odd one. All parts appear to be Tokai-made. Tuners on the neck are SS-36 / SS-40 style. SS-48 and up had Schaller-style tuners at that time. I can?t make out a model stamp on the fretboard on any of the photos. It should be there for that year, can be very faint though, but I don?t think i...

a Tokai TE-50 body with original TEB pickup(s). serial points to somewhere between 1982 and second half of the 80s . body probably has a "BL" colour and Tokai production codes under the non-original copper shielding.

1991-1992 Fender USA neck ?

Neck profile on the 600 is a medium to thick C/U profile - 22,5mm 1st to 25,2mm 12th fret.

My se-800 has a slimmer U neck btw - they seem to vary a bit
