Hi there!
I'm about to buy a lefty Tokai Goldstar strat but what makes me hesitate is the position of the High E string. On the first fret it's ok (Low E and High E are 3,5 mm from the edge of the fingerboard) but on the 12th fret the High E string is only 1 mm from the edge!!! while the Low E is 4 mm from the edge. String easily slips over the edge while playing
This Goldstar is cream white and from 84' - 85' (at least that is what I think):
- "lawsuit" headstock with "tokai goldstar sound, the quality instruments of the world, oldies but goldies" in it
- Tokai not 7okai
- Deluxe tuners (button type)
- Final prospec on bridge
- Under the pickups, there is U V (green backing plate, magnets goes through). Are these Tokai original pickups?
- Neck has 7 23 on it and the pickup cavity has "7 23 ow x" on it (should be original neck)
- 5 position switch
Neck seems to be straight (there is no gap where the neck attach to the body) and the brigde seems to be in original position.
Any idea what might be wrong?
Thanks, Markku
