Hi there, can someone help me to understand how are the quality and prices for TST-70 Goldstar from 2014?
I can buy barely used guitar TST-70 Snow White for appprox 500 USD (no hardcase included) but I cannot find any info on how it compares to guitars produced in 80' or 90', like Springy Sound or Silver Star.
It is claimed to have Vintage MK3 pups.
Thanks in advance!

OK, thanks for help! Based on that I just decided to buy exactly this guitar for 450 USD: http://www.ebay.pl/itm/Tokai-TST-70-SW-Stratocater-type-guitar-Made-in-Japan-Electric-Guitar-NEW-/182038120384 (except for here it is brand new, and now it's 2nd hand but allegedely "like new").

I expect it to arrive sometime next week so will update when I got it.

Just the aside note, I looked at what the MK3s are and it seems it's ferrite vs Alnico (MK2).
Most of Fender's Strats pickups are Alnico, shall I expect worse "strat"/"chimey sound than Alnico?
 
I love singing with the guitar and I want to purchase a guitar. But the cost of its is very high so I decided to doing part-time job in any resume writing website and after earn money I will purchasing a guitar.
