Hi, I've been following this site for a few months now and today took delivery of my first Tokai - a beautiful 1981 (I'm told) ST-50 Springy Sound in two-tone sunburst. My pictures to follow but the seller's pics are here: http://imageevent.com/nu2uguitars/1981tokaispringysoundst50. I have two questions which I hope the assembled experts can assist me with. The guitar needs a slight clean up and a re-string and I want to take a full set of pics as part of this process. Firstly, I have never removed a guitar neck before - is there anything I should be aware of or is it as simple as removing the strings and unscrewing the four bolts? Does the neck simply bolt back into place? Second question; overall the guitar is in excellent condition but there is slight risting to a few screws, pickup poles and the jacl socket. The bridge saddles are also slightly corroded. What is the best way to deal with these? I'm happy with an aged patina and I don't want to impact the value but I'd like to tidy these up if practical. Any advice gratefully received,
Andrew
