Hi,

Just had this pointed to me on an eBay item (3705805684)

Notice the shape of the "T" on the Tokai logo on the headstock,
- like the "7" shaped T used back in the old 77- 82 "lawsuit' spaghetti logo, but fatter : -

Is this a new logo? (... or a fake, as my friend thought?!).

Sorry if this is old news, guess I've been too busy to look at newer Tokais while trying to chase down a nice pre-'82 Springy at the right price! :roll:

The interesting thing is the model number is also included.

I will get this checked out.


Got the information on this guitar is a early 1984 TST-62 made specifically for the US market. I will add this to the chart.

Looks a little beaten up on the back too, so prolly not a "new" model?

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

(P.S. surfing around that site brings up some AWESOME pics of Tokais!

- seems the "homepage" is missing, but try "treasurehunting" from the directory : - http://members.lycos.co.uk/tokaiguitars/ )
