I own an 80s 3-tone sunburst TS50 Goldstar, serial # 13309. Recently my pal purchased a brand new Goldstar which looks suspiciously like a China-made imitation. For starters, I thought this model was discontinued in the 80s then his guitar tuners do not say 'Deluxe', the bridge has no stamp that says 'Final Prospects', no sticker at the neck (mine says 50) and no serial # on the back cover plate. The lacquer on the fingerboard is a little thick and the neck resembles an SX but the decal on the headstock says Tokai Goldstar. He insists that it's a genuine Goldstar. Can anyone shed light on this ???
