Springy Sound - Fake?

[george77]

Hi everybody,

I just found a nice Springy on ebay but there is one thing that makes me wonder if this is a fake: on the headstock the lettering "THIS IS A REPLIC OF THE GOOD OLD STRAT" below the Spaghetti-Logo is missing.

Where there any Springys made without this thing?

Thanks,
Georg

Looks like a brand new guitar with fake stickers!!

He has not put Tokai in the title and describes the guitar as a
Tokai Reproduction - which could mean made by them
to look like one!!!

check out the headstock/logo shape chart below
