I just noticed the term “project team” in the Spring 1982 Tokai catalog description for a guitar. I’ve seen other similar references while translating these early catalogs.
I had been wondering who the “guitar freaks” were at Tokai that were designing guitars based on very rare vintage models? They often used the term “guitar freak” in catalogs and would no doubt consider it a compliment to be called one.
And they were obviously targeting other guitar freaks who would appreciate the attention to detail in these vintage style guitars that Fender itself was not making anymore. They were targeting us....
Just wondering if anyone has any information about who these unsung heroes were that brought along so many vintage guitar models 40 years ago?
