I've just pulled my old Tokai Goldstar Sound out of my dad's loft. It's seen better days but appears to be Japanese perhaps from '84? Maybe you guys can help me with that from the pictures.
Looks like it's all original apart from the saddles, which are garbage and will be replaced. Tremelo arm and one tone knob are missing. Fretboard had a pretty bad repair at the 12th fret. Frets are not the best in general, probably get them redone.
I'm looking for advice. I know nothing about strats. I don't want to try to get it back to its original state using all vintage parts but rather to make it sound as good as possible.
What should I do?
Saddles & tremelo bridge...
PUPS - any favourites for this guitar?
I'll probably mess with the wiring a little: add the push/pull Gilmour neck mod.
Mebbe a humbucker...
Help me out
