Hello!
I just bought an 80s Tokai Strat off of my local Craigslist. My question is - what year/model do I have?
Here's an album of some pictures: http://imgur.com/a/6NDpp
I'm guessing this is a 1984 or 1985 Tokai AST-62? The serial number - 2522 - makes me think it was a AST-56, but it has the rosewood fretboard and multi-ply scratch plate , so I'm not sure what it is. I just hope it's authentic!
What is the color called? Fiesta Red?
The pups don't look original - I'm guessing some sort of mystery meat ceramic pups, but they sound fine - and the tuners have been switched out, obviously. The tone pot for the bridge pup doesn't work or has been bypassed, as it has no effect on the tone of that pup.
I'm grateful for any information you have on my mystery guitar.
Thanks!
