Hi there from Australia.
Yesterday I picked up my first Tokai Strat guitar (I have other Fender USA). I scored this guitar for $350 USD. I think I've done quite well.
I believe this guitar may be an 1981 but I'm not sure. Can Somone please clarify? Serial number is 1100869
When I got it home I did my usual investigations and strip down for cleaning and adjustment. After a restring for the life of me it would not intonate. I was going mad for over 30mins twiddling my screwdriver. Then I realised it was the pickups. They are as strong as hell. I wound them down and it set up perfectly.
I opened up the pickguard to reveal Bare Knuckle pickups. I believe these are good? They have massive output. I'm used to the colder Seymour Duncan's in my YJM stratocaster. It also appeared to have som swanky looking vintage capacitors and all cloth wiring.
The tuners have been changed to Schaller tuners and the bridge changed to an American vintage.
Can anyone confirm specs and details?
