Hi folks,
I just picked up a '79 Silver Star from the Japanese guy selling Tokais on eBay at the moment. It's a great guitar, just like the one on p36 of the '82 catalogue, and plays beautifully. I've changed the plastics to 70s style white and it looks even better now.
Coupla questions tho': Mine has 36 stamped on the neck suggesting it would be a SS36 model but the '82 catalog refers to them as SS60 models. I know there are three years between the guitars but that would make it a huge leap in price!
This guitar has a flame neck too, fantastic surprise for me, but is that usual?
Any comments greatly appreciated, Joe
PS Been a Tokai fan for a few years now (this is my third one) but still on the lookout for a nice Les Paul Reborn and a B-bender Breezy.
