Hello,
I’ve been offered this springy sound but I’d like your opinions on it’s authenticity.
I have no reason to disbelieve the man selling it and my instincts say everything he says is true but I don’t know a lot about the details of these guitars so if anyone could help me that would be great.
Originally apparently it’s an 83 block logo which has had the decals replaced for fender.
It’s had the tuners, saddles, pickguard changed. But most importantly it has had the Tokai marking removed from the neck heel. That’s the only thing that gives me a bit of doubt. That and that it has clay dots, which if it’s a genuine Tokai neck, presumably are replacements.
The other thing that makes me wonder is that the rosewood is pretty light coloured compared to photos of other Tokai rosewood necks I’ve seen.
Any advice would be great.
