Help identify this Tokai strat

[richelmes]

Hello,

Could anyone possibly give me some information on this strat please? Year, model, country of manufacture etc etc

There's no model number on backplate or back/front of headstock.

Thanks

This Google server doesn't allow 3rd party site linking, I guess.
Your image tags are correct but pics don't display here. :-?

Try Flckr or Photobucket.

Thanks, pictures should be fixed now

It looks like your tuners were switched?

I have a Goldie that is 1983. Will wait and see what the experts say.

I know they are Schaller tuners but not sure why they were changed! I think the bridge may not be original either

Hi guys,

It seems everything has been changed.
The colour looks like BM (Burgandy Mist) which would make the model most probably TST-55.
The saddles, neck plate and front pickup have all been changed.
UNLESS >
Is this a >2000, in which case . . can't help.
Tremelo block looks original.

Some more pictures of under the scratch plate.

I thought the colour was more of a silver variation.

I had a feeling the saddles and neck plate had been changed too.

Also, the guy I had it off had it for 15 years and was given to him by somebody else so would say it was older than 2000

Bump..

Any more opinions would be greatly appreciated as I'm considering selling this guitar and need more info if possible.

Thanks

Peter, where are you getting Burgundy Mist from, a body code. Looks more like Inca silver
