Can someone help me to identify this Tokai Goldstar sound model. I did not find any info with those numbers using search.IMG_20230518_085217.jpgIMG_20230515_125954.jpgIMG_20230518_085157.jpgIMG_20230515_125434.jpgIMG_20230515_125933.jpgIMG_20230515_125351.jpgIMG_20230518_090803.jpgIMG_20230518_084028.jpgIMG_20230518_085145.jpgIMG_20230518_085149.jpg
 
Looks like a 1987 TST40 BB to me. Made in July.

I need to see the pickups to be sure on the model. Those trap tuners say TST40. Original pickups in the TST40 were ceramic. Can’t see your pots or pickups.

Serial number system changed in early 1986.

Check out this thread:

I am pushing to overhaul the Registry. It’s pretty misleading as is.

If you can, please post pictures showing the bottom of the pickups and the pots.

I changed the pickguard.
 
Yep. That confirms it.

Pots dated March 1987.

Pickups are ceramic.

Btw, it’s a coincidence that the production code on the body and neck are the same as the pot code. Never seen that before. Pretty wild.
