Hi.
This is my lovely Tokai Hard Puncher Left-Hand. Please, tell me what year it is?
The neck plate number is 217231
Neck stamp is "4 = 5"
Body stamp is "4 - 5 OW V" - I'm not sure that this is "V"
Thanks for help

WOW very nice bass and from the feedback i've been getting it looks to be the same build time of mine 84-87 i recently aquired a near mint all black hard puncher right handed with all gold hardware. I tried posting pictures on the Vintage (older than 1985) page and only one came thru whats the secret on posting pics? It looks as though someone re-positioned the thumb rest on your bass? but it sure is a beauty!!

Your HP to me would be a 1984-85 TPB50V or TPB80V

Its the logo style that gives it away for me,

Would you know what the finish on your is? poly?

Edit, but i am not familiar with left handed HP, I think they might be the same specs...

Someone else might have more answers...
