Yes, the Tokai versions were solid state and had a small spring reverb. They were called a TA35. I used to have one see below for a side by side comparison Full Frontal Nudity Their rears, for you :o The speaker in the TA35 shown on the right above was not original, I tried it out as it...

Thanks felixcatus This TE-80 is a different spec as it has a L before the serial number. The rosewood on the fretboard is a thin veneer, not a slab like Fenders of 1964, which also had serial numbers that started with a L. ( I have to credit the Tokai Forum "Guru" Peter Mac for this info)...

I had the great pleasure of seeing Snarky Puppy live last night in Liverpool. At the end of the gig I shook hands with Bob the guitarist. I asked him about his guitar and he says it's from '82. He said that he's tried other fender strats but his Tokai beats them. :D He wasn't aware of the...

Hi Gary, I don't have any sound files, at present. However the guitar can give a varied range of tones given its coil tapping ability. I'll try to do some when I have more time. You wouldn't need a full hard case for the guitar as the one it comes with is equally as strong as one. In the...

Thanks for all your kind words Paul / Pete. Yes, it's time for that guitar to move on as it's not getting the playing it deserves. Paul, you know I've got far too many toys to play with and I should thin things out a bit :-? There a red Love Rock II on ebay at the moment for a considerably...

I've still got a set of Tokai U Series Pickups going spare See the bottom of this posting http://www.tokaiforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=18426&highlight=pickups Regards Chris

Hmmmmmm that info is correct for that specific years production of ST-100's. Tokai's spec changed over time. I have a set of both U and E pickups at home, I'll test them with a multimeter to prove their resistance figures are not the same

The E Series pickups are based on 50's Pre CBS sounding, lowest output pickups. U Series more 60's pre CBS sounding. So both are vintage sounding !!

E pickups are lower in resistance that U pickups - Fact
