The Duncan is not original

So i have a few Bacchus and i have to say i'm impressed. I'm starting to look at their Strat offereing because well, i'm a guitar addict lol. I'd like to hear from anyone who has experience with the stats that have the new tradition moniker on the headstock. Here's one i'm interested in but i...

I have little knowledge of these, anyone know for sure ?

This came up on my radar, but i dunno if it's what the seller states, could this be MIJ or is it something else ?? I thought the '80's Goldstar's had codes at the end of the neck...

So whats up with the `Pure Material` Edwards 335`s ?? Does anyone have anything to shed some light on them for me ?? I know the LP's were limited in numbers etc but i know nothing of the 335's Here's a picture from a seller on Ebay.

Well i got it a few days ago really but didn't bother to take a picture till today. Sweet player. Here it is along with a 2005 LS150 on the top of it for contrast.

Cool article on Tokai's history regarding Springy's and Goldstars. I'm not sure if it's 100% accurate but still nice to see. https://reverb.com/ca/news/a-strat-by-any-other-name-the-tokai-springy-sound

Hi all. I'm confused as to how to tell a ST60 from a ST80 Springy, since they could both come with the same "E" pups and the same colour finish. Would the only way be to check for nitro ?? Would this year still have its fretboard stamp ?? Help me out if you can...

Here's a question for the in the know folks, i have a Greco SG with the kluson style tuners, i'm thinking of replacing them. does anyone know if these wilkinsons would be a correct fit ...

Hey all, thought i'd perk up this forum with a kind of interesting NGD. I tossed in a bid near the end of an auction and came away with this interesting old guitar from the late 90's. A Japanese man came and hand delivered the guitar the next day. It's got some miles on it but nothing too...

Put in an offer on this guitar and it arrived today. Nary even a scratch on it. Even for Tokai it seems a incredibly well made quality instrument, and i noticed it's body is made up of only 2 pieces of slightly flamed alder. I was wondering could this guitar be a AST100 ?? It has a 1 ply...

Hi, i'm wondering if anyone knows anything about these guitars, we don't see many of them here in Canada, but since they are a Swiss company i figured some of our european members might be able to tell me about their perceptions of this company, and the guitars they produce. Thanks

Hi all, i'm thinking of buying a local tokai goldstar, however, i don't know much about tokai strats, the fact you can take off the neck, and add it to any other strat guitar body scares me a bit due to my lack of knowledge. I don't want to buy just a neck and i want it to be Japanese for the...

I'm not usually in for gold hardware and fancy inlays but my heart done skipped a beat when i saw this. Auction listing http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-TOKAI-ES280-LIMITED-EDITION-Tobacco-H-C-/370589331165?pt=Guitar&hash=item5648d86edd

To all those who might be of the pickguard off style and have some spare bits around i'm looking for some replacement bits for a pickguard assembly to fit a '84 mint collection custom, i have the original but ive swapped the original gold stuff out for other chrome greco parts. If someone knows...

Does anyone know where to find old sigma acoustic guitar catalogs from 1979 till 1984 or abouts ?? I've recently picked up a Sigma 52SDR-9 and wouldn't mind seeing a catalog with this particular guitar featured with the run down on specs etc. I got it quite cheap because although it sounds...

Bought a Blue '84 Greco mint collection off Wulfman awhile back, without pickups. It had tarnished gold hardware that i wasn't to keen on so i swapped it out with parts from a '84 Greco John Sykes model, added some humbucker sized p-90's and here are the before and after shots. Thanks again...

I got this guitar recently and had to laugh, it was shipped to me with the strings loose, i started to wind up the thin E string and it broke, had a look and the bridge saddles were completely wrong for the strings :roll: . Fixed that, new strings and plugged her in and could barely hear the...

Did Tokai ever make a MIJ surf green goldstar sound ?? There's one in the local paper for sale but i'm not sure it's 100 % real.

Hey all, i'm going to look at a Tokai tonight, it's a bit of a drive away but i've always wanted a J-200 style guitar, does anyone recognise this soundhole sticker ??? Opinions ???
