Ok, I just bought the matching baby brother to my St 100 from our friend Mark.. I love being broke yet having guitars..

Looks nice. Is your ST100 blonde/maple as well? How do they compare?

here is the St 100. St 100 one piece with gold hardware. ST 80 two piece center joined standard hardware. Both are 1980(according to ser number)..

OK cool. I guess I'm curious about whether a 100 is worth the extra money over an 80. I doubt if a one piece body really makes a Strat any better - but you can actually do a direct comparison.

So what's the verdict?

 

[kmarccoco]

I just bought it tonight, I will have to wait to compare them.. Blonde is a rare color.. Ive only seen three.

As far as The St 100's being worth it.....Sound wise, no.. My ST 80 sounds just as good as the St 100. BUt The ST 100's are rare. so if your into that I guess they are worth it..

I like light strats though. MY ST 100 is ultra light, and my St 80 is light. I had another sunburst St 100 that sounded just as good, and played easier than all of them, but was a little heavier than both.. BUt it was a beautiful St 100..

Whats cool about the vintage 7okai strats is that they all sound a little different. I would attribute that to the age of them, and that they were produced like the original 50's strats in smaller factories..

Nice guitars! Side by side pics are in order when you can. Thanks, Joe

 

[marcusnieman]

Nice pair :wink:

 

[ochay]

You guys and your strats !!!!
:roll:

 

[MIJvintage]

those are two wonderful looking Strats

I agree with Joe; a pic with both together

 

[kmarccoco]

Yeah, a picture with the two will be cool.. Mark will send her off on wed, and should only take two weeks to get here..

It must be about time the gallery in the registry was updated - we have seen some interesting and rare Tokais on the forum since the gallery was first set up. Ken's pair of Springys would make ideal candidates.

 

[chris barany]

those are sweet! nice job.

as for side-by-side pics, why don't y'all just download the pics here and do it yourself in photoshop?

Congrats Ken.
You have a great springy collection. 8)

Hi Ken!

That's a killer. I've never seen an ST80 in blonde.

Cheers and congrats!
