Looks like an 84 ST50 but the serial number is that of ST 60 which should have had E pickups not the later V11s.The body and neck stamps are pretty close although this is not a clincher as we have seen many genuine Tokais with codes which do not match.Nice guitar enjoy!
 
Would an st60 be finished in nitro? The seller claimed nitro but i can’t see any sign of the grain coming through.

On Springy's, ST80 and above were nitro - not sure about the Goldstars.
Take some 100% acetone and test an inconspicuous spot like above the rear strap button with a Q tip. If it's nitro, the acetone will start to dissolve it when rubbed with the Q tip.
 
The guitar is a ST50, like the sticker says.
I'd guess 1983.
Mine is similar, but has a 5 digit serial number.

No, the block logo was late 1982 and early 1983.
I bought my guitar in November 1983 and it's the like the one above.
I have adverts from October 1982 for Tokai Strats with the block logo.
