Tokai Bult Fernandes Stone Logo 1978 ST60?

[Sigmania]

So it seems there were three neck plates on Springys?

1. 1-13/16” x 2-1/2” no serial numbers

2. 2” x 2-1/2” narrow hole spacing with serial numbers

3. 2” x 2-1/2” wide hole spacing with serial numbers

The narrow unstamped plate on my 78 ST60 measures 2-1/2" L x 1-13/16" W
Here's my archived photos of the guitar: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/f4u1a13t5xhxf0p/AACjeX39c_-IDj9Gi3Re-RFda?dl=0

Here's the pic of the serial number on the end of the neck: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sq4swa6tktjdz9m/78%20Tokai%20ST60%20Serial%20Number.jpg?dl=0

I just spotted one apparently made not long after yours? 134 units later?

I'll post the images from the listing to preserve them.

This quote gives us an idea as well as the number of guitars seized as to the volume of Tokais being sold in the UK:

Do you know how many 40 foot containers of Tokais that ad has sold?”
