Hello there, I have a tokai spring sound strat bought many years ago when I was living in Japan. I wanted to know if anyone could shed some light on this instrument as it seems to be a cross between a '57 and '64 strat. The fingerboard is rosewood with a skunk stripe on the back of the neck, there is a rosewood plug at the nut. The body is 2-tone sunburst, the pickguard is single ply white with 8 screws. It's an ST-80 model according to the black sticker on the neck. I bought it used and though I thought that it may have been assembled from different tokai parts, this doesn't make much sense as the neck is still a bit of an oddity. Any help would be appreciated, Tony
