I sold my 84 Goldstar with U pickups (bought a Greco Junior instead) but kept my SS48. The Goldstar is probably the better intrument but too refined for me- I want to rock! 8)

Hi guys,
one other thing about the Silverstar is the body routing.
Silverstars had a different body route to Springy / Goldstar models and this is also of importance when dating or testing for originality.
The SS36 -40 was built to the same spec care as the ST42, so still a very good guitar.
From the pics listed, i concur with stratman323 - a very, very nice 1979 Silverstar SS-36 in Olympic White probably made late in the year (Oct-Dec). . .on a Wednesday, i'd say . . .at 10:37 in the morning . . by a young luthier - Japanese i'd wager . . elementary. :lol:

I think 1980 was a good year for Tokais. 8) My white 1980 SS60 has really grown on me - I was put off by the big headstock at first, but I don't mind that any more, I just appreciate it for what it is, a really nice Strat. A set of Seymour Duncans from the early '80s has just finished it off nicely.
