So there it was.... hanging in Dannys fashion and furniture shop...
it's a strat and it says "Tokai Goldstar Sound".... on the head ......maple neck.......
and then i look down and see the body....painted ........yes painted...... in brown gloss paint !!!!!.....
i ask the dude behind the desk "is that the original colour" and he says "yes" .....
so i scratch the paint .....to reveal mettalic Gold .....
i say "look it's Gold underneath"....and it's a Tokai ....he looks at me blankly and says
"it's a hundred and eighty quid"....
"would you take 150"......"no 180" he says.......
so i paid up and rescued the poor dog!!....
....i've handed it over to my old man (who's just retired)...and he's carefully stripping it back
to it's former glory .....it's quite a job ......while we're doing that.... could you boffins help me figure out exactly
what it is ...Goldstar sound ...sticker says...(55)....no.19124...ie Age... value ...etc?
i have enough guitars..... and think i'll probably put this into an auction for charity as it's probably not good
enough to sell ...given it's history....thanks.....
