Hi,

Although this is a new user name for me, I was around here in 2003 under my other moniker-boogie02130. I can't seem to access that account, hence the new name. For reputations sake, you can also check out my ebay sales rep under the name, boogie02130. I have a 1984 Goldstar Sound "Oldies But Goldies" Strat style neck with the original headstock shape. I bought the guitar new in 1984 and have replaced the neck on it with a fatter tele neck. Since I just took this neck off, I'd prefer to sell it to an interested party. I'm not sure what to ask but I know I won't let it go for less than $125.00 & shipping. If this seems out of line, please feel free to let me know, as I won't be offended.
Here's the description:
It's a vintage 56 style neck (as Tokai put it). 7.25 radius with a nitro finish (I believe). I had it refretted with medium Jumbo frets and the fret board is currently unfinished. Non original tuning pegs (I think they're Gotoh reissues but I'm not certain), Graph-tech nut and a newer Fender string tree. The neck plays beautifully and was strung up until recently. It's got it's share of road wear commensurate with a 23 year old neck and the finish on the back of the neck is true relic-ing!! There are some printed initials at the bottom of the neck where the truss rod ends that look like OHG and another stamped marking that looks a little like a W. One of the screwholes started splitting but was glued with a good wood glue and there are no issues with it's stability. Cosmetically it appears as a 1.5" surface crack. I've tried to be very accurate here with my description and I do have some pictures available. I'm guessing that shipping in the US (with mandatory insurance) would run around $15.00.

Let me know if you are interested and I can send pictures to you

I think it's been established that no Goldstars had a nitro finish, so it must be poly. Unless anyone else knows differently....

They did do a Goldstar ST-80 but the chances are greater with me winning the lottery twice than it being one. :p
 
I believe the guitar is a TST-56. As I said in the first message, I wasn't sure if it was a nitro finish. I'm still not convinced that it isn't. The way that it's worn is reminiscent of a nitro finish, as most poly finishes don't wear like this, even after 23 years.

Thanks for the comments!~
 
It would help your chances of selling it if you posted a pic or two on here. And then the rest of us can have a look too :D

Mike
 
I'd be glad to post some pix. Not sure on how to do that. If you let me know I'll gladly put some up.

Thanks
 
Sure, read this:

Once you've loaded your pics onto photobucket (or any other similar site, if you prefer), post a link here, or post the link between the buttons you see when you make a post - then the pics will be imbedded in the text. Like this:

:lol:

It's easier than it sounds! If you get stuck, come back and ask. Someone will help you - we all like to see pics of Tokais etc, even if we don't necessarily want to buy them!

Thanks Stratman,

As you can see the photo's are up. Let me know what you think?

Looks good to me. If I was in the market for a maple neck, I might make you an offer. But I'm not, so good luck. :p

Yeah I've done a new post about this one in the eBay section. The guy is claiming that it's nitro, but we know it isn't, don't we? I suspect he knows it too... :evil:
