The same seller is now claiming that the 83 catalogue states that E pickups are Di Marzios. He also claims that the catalogue states that the ST62 has a one piece body ( more nonsense) I informed him politely 6 months ago with regards to another guitar he was selling about our research on this forum and that Es were not made by Di M ,he more or less told me then that he would write anything he chose to about his guitars. .He`s certainly doing that alright!
SELLERS LIKE THIS MAKE SO ANGRY Gabe. :x

Perhaps he's also a used car salesman - he's got 100% positive feedback

Hi guys,

The pickups Tokai used on these USA models were C.A.R.'s which stood for California Accurate Reproduction.
The AST-62 and AST-56 started life in 1982 and progressed from there.
I agree with you guys that he is certainly taking license with his claims.
I , for one , am not convinced the AST-62 body is ash, more likely alder.

...and I thought 83's were block logos and the script logo didn't appear until 84.

WTF is an "ebony accent"?

Wooden plug on the headstock used to fill the hole where the truss rod was inserted. Gabe.

Hi guys.

the fill-in strip is made of walnut on all maple necks.

I remember this old topic that asked a question about the maple neck 'plugs'.
