This one? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276458107043?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=-plVkF96RJi&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Q6dyJ3hoSoe&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Check this one out, same decal, 50 sticker, 4 screw tuners. The serial is very hard to make out but it looks L00### to me. Very odd. Edit didn't read it properly. Serial L20002 https://www.gbase.com/gear/tokai-hard-puncher-tpb-50v-r-1984-olympic-white Suspect the neck has been swapped on the...

This ones been documented a few times https://www.tokaiforum.com/threads/production-process-and-codes-on-st-bolt-on-models.27619/post-208977

I think the writing has definitely gone through the finish.

Crossed with your post Sigmania - I think the body is definitely 12=6

Congratulations, I was bidding on this one too. It's all original, this guitar was actually built at the end of 1982. 12=6 means the sixth build or batch of December. We know it's 1982 from the 11278 serial crossed with the body stamps that we have been logging. The neck clearly shows 12=6...

I've got an 83 TST100 that is covered in lacquer checking, obviously not LS though.

It's been discussed here before, shame the pics have gone: https://www.tokaiforum.com/threads/laquer-checking-on-old-tokais-pics.12696/

This one has been around the block a few times! 😃. I think those blocks are holding the body together rather than filling active cavities. Vintage 1980s Tokai Super Edition SD50 Twin HB MIJ Japan Stratocaster *The Turd* I would like to call this - The Turd. I found this in a local auction...

Seen this one before somewhere, it's on my list as an ST50 3=17

Surely if you have the guitar you either like it or you don't? If you enjoy playing it keep it, if you don't pass it on.

Slightly better resolution

Spotted on Gumtree UK - still has original shipping box 013696 Tokai Custom Edition Stratocaster Sunburst MADE IN JAPAN in mint condition purchased in Dec 1991 from John Ham Music in Swansea ( his brother was the legendary Peter Ham who was a member of the group Badfinger ). I dont think it...

Ha me too! It really is a great instrument, I've been jamming along to drum loops all morning, can't put it down.

It's a one piece body and it's nitro so it must be an 80. You can see the two curves of the upper part of the 8 very faintly.

Recent new arrival from Japan - 8001655 Codes don't match! Body 12=8 GS and marked PB80 in the pickup route. It looks like it could be PB60 but I think it's definitely a faded 8. Definitely nitro. Neck 1=6 stamped 80 on fretboard but no A stamp. Definitely nitro. So looks like body is Dec...

It is either Korean or Chinese. Need more pics.

Seems to be a six digit 2##### serial?

This one also 1983 11=5 which confused me.. but it is a standard ST body (apart from the non factory routing) with SS neck. There's no visible neck code which is most likely not 11=5 given fury_dice's codes. https://www.tokaiforum.com/threads/fenderized-ss60-ysr.28715/

Yep so the neck and body are a month apart
