The '54 model Stratocaster electric guitar

TOKAI ELECTRIC GUITAR PROJECT TEAM

The returned Tokai '54 Strat has become an exquisite Strat sound by combining it with the "completed design" single coil PU "and" revolutionary function of electric guitar ... Synchronized tremolo unit "/ Minoru Nishiki do. She called her sharp and attacking sound "Springy Sound". Mochi 3, she doesn't get his delicate springy sound from a normal Strat model. Let's write it down. The Tokai Electric Guitar Project Team copied the '54 Strat in a Tetti B style. Tettei-like means pursuing the flat shape of the screw in terms of parts, and the process of material love 81 to chamfering the corners in the case of woodworking lore. All of this policy was set at 75 to pursue the Springy sound of the 54 Strat. In addition, the accuracy of the parts is 6 or higher. Now, read this message and "Electric Guitar Manual VOL.I" carefully before going to the music shop. There is no doubt that you will be him !! Anyway, the old model that is attracting the most attention in this universe is the Tokai '54 Strat.

Policy 1.

Introducing a computer that has never been thought of before in the ST series Kieka I. The mechanical power of "3D Luthier" that can process all three-dimensional objects and the high skill of craftsmen are added to complete the body that boasts the accuracy of Bagun. The neck attachment part, which was supposed to be a Stratocaster, has a wonderful finish. I want you to compare it with other companies' products. You can see the difference ... I'm just a guitar player. "Of course, the wood material is veneer." If you look closely, the overall body shape is a little different from the current Strat. The part that fits the body and the cutting of the armrest are monosugoku and daitan. Compared to the old copy of other companies, I think they are different, and the guitar is not an old copy, so you have to be careful. When the eyes that distinguish the guitar are like this, it becomes a big seven.

(diagram of body outline)

★ The neck mounting part is "completely processed into a wall, and the neck fits perfectly. Sustain is slammed.
★ You can easily play 3 high positions.
★ The back side contour.
★ Boldly cut front side.

Policy 2

The peg head is Tokai's most confident place

1. The overall shape, the finish, the naming, and the pegs are all incomparably better than the old models of other companies. This is the true Kluson head.

(diagram of peghead)

★ For the paper shavings on the corners, it's 13 over time. It's round and even, and the garden is nice to pick up.
★ Like the old one, (decal) is pasted on top of the finish. If you scratch it strongly with your nail, it will come off. If you use this well, you will be shiroi ????
★ The position mark is a little smaller than the current Strat.
★ The nut is beef bone. Tokai's craftsmen also pay close attention to Kaka I in this part, so the finish is good. Needless to say, it's preeminent! It took a lot of time because it is an important point of the guitar. Please take a closer look at the result at the music shop.

2. The neck material is all maple from ST-42 !! Rosewood fingerboard is also OK.

3. There are two types of neck shapes, V shape and U shape, and the V shape is the same shape as the '54 Strat and is a triangular neck that is commonly called V. This is especially liked by professional musicians who are looking for soy tech, probably because their fingers are so smooth that they don't feel tired even after a long period of time. The shape neck is a little slammed and familiar to the hand, and it's very good to play 3 times. You can play advanced techniques as you like.

(diagram of neck cross sections)

V shape. U shape.

4. In each case, the fretting (fret finish) is even though it is a complete wall. First of all, the fret nibs where the frets are driven are cut one by one according to the depth of the legs on the frets, so you can respond perfectly to your hard tsurei.

*Of course, it goes without saying that the solidity of the neck and the sound conduction have improved. You will be sick of it because of its wonderfulness.

(diagram of frets)

ST series
★ Fret only
★ Fret foot
★ Finger board surface
Others
★ Since the fret board is straight, there is a gap in the 4th fret, and sound transmission is poor.

Policy 3.

Whoever copies the Old Strat to the perfect wall, was struck by the pegs and settled here!! In 1954 the Kluson Deluxe was mounted on the Old Model. However, most of the domestically produced old copies are Rotomatics, which are not even 7 original. Tokai's project team succeeded in developing a further improved version of the original Kluson. Flat is exactly Kluson Deluxe.

* The gear is a high-performance 2-row gear with no rattling! It was the best gift for players who love electric guitars. The treble ball, which is the end of the old, which is lighter than the Rotomatic peg, is wonderful beyond your imagination. Needless to say, training is attractive because of its elasticity. All of the above explanations are deeply related to sound and are directly linked. It is a part of the essence of the Fumari ST series. There is no help even if I read it again.

(diagram of string guide)

★ Short string post
★ Only one round string guide. Therefore, the tension on the strings is very tight.

Policy 4

Synchronized tremolo Unit (Bridge) Both are Tremo units from a new battle. What is superior is that the subtle sound of the '54 Strat was created from a sheet metal stamped bridge, and it was adopted as it is. What a pity that the current Fender Strat and the old copy of other companies have become Dika 2to. In addition, the tremolo arm to fully demonstrate the power of the Toshi Moro unit is also made of a special alloy, and the durability is greatly improved. There is almost no arm breakout. Of course, there is almost no blurring of the screw of the unit flight.

(diagram of bridges)

(Tokai Bridge)
★ ST seeds
★ The screw hole is an independent round hole

(Other brands)
★ There is not even a design because it is unmolded
★ Current Strat copy model from other companies
★ This is zinc die casting

Policy 5

Tone selector switch Old Strat is nonsense if there is no half tone !! Therefore, domestically produced Pee developed a 5 step switch. A new design that uses a 3-stage 5-position switch, which does not have a rugged garden like the 5-stage, and at the same time has a smooth operation and a half-ho position.

(diagram of selector)

★ 3-stage 5-position switch
★ 1-5 Position is decided as "Smooth 2"

Policy 6

This part is not directly visible, but we are looking for the first Shinroku shield plate made in Japan, so we will use the shield that has been written for a long time. When wiring, a separate terminal is provided and soldered so as not to deteriorate the performance of the barrier pull register. Maintenance is also easy. The guitar needs a wiring shield that is so elaborate.

(diagram with & without grounding plate)

★ ST Shi-2
★ This is the first domestically produced shield freight made by Shinkan.

★ Lee and others
★ P Lumi has no durability

Policy 7

That springy sound of the '54 Strat is different from the current Strat. It is the old sound that is praised by professional musicians who have 99 pickups that are difficult to attach to either. It is commonly said that this is due to changes over time, but there was a considerable cause even at the time of design. Therefore, in the high-ranking area and the sharf, "2 types * to reproduce the withered tasteful tone ** It was a new battle with P.U.

★ A type 54 PU that uses the same coil material as the Strat. I think it's a secret weapon that produces 100% of old-fashioned sound.

★ B type '54 Strato's old-fashioned sound is realized with two lows. However, it is no different from the most introduced class of other companies that produce solid products. Alnico (aluminum, an alloy of nickel and cobalt) pole piece. Since the paraffin-containing hot water father is applied, the noise is minimal !! Anyway, the PU of ST Siri-2 demonstrates the power of Bagun for the expression of sharp and attacking sound.

Policy 8

Pick guard. The '54 Strat's old-fashioned sound is also greatly influenced by this pickguard. The current Strat is 37 lie and 11 points, and it is tightly attached to the body, so it has a subtle sound peculiar to the old. '54 Strat is 17 lie 8 points stop. For this reason, the close contact with the body is not perfect, but conversely, that old sound will not come back without the slight vibration of this pickguard. The ST series is of course 1-ply 8-point stop. The PU stop screw decides the panel design.

(diagram of pickguard)

★ Perfect for the neck. 7-it P minutes
★ PU stop screw
★ Switch stop screw

Policy 9

All screws used in the ST series are newly designed (IB design). The reason is simple, because it is manufactured with the policy that "'54 Strat's total feeling is also in the shape of the screw head." Especially the P.U stop screw and switch stop screw are exactly the same as the old one. Only Tokai's project team was able to do this. Consideration of screws

Policy 10.

Plating of hardware. No. 1 plating is applied to the metal side 80 of the ST series. Fufu is called No. 2 plating, which is about 5 to 10 microns, but Tokai's plating is different. This No. 1 plating is rarely seen except for high-class ornaments, has a deep taste, and is strong and durable. The cow, especially the tremolo arm, has a size of 35 microns according to the formula measurement, and the No. 1 plating of Tokai is just super-flow compared to the No. 2 plating !!

Policy 11.

Arming sound that is a feature of Policy 11 Strat. In the olden days, from The Ventures to Jimi Hendrix to Rich Blackmore, its dynamic sound wasn't really appealing, but it was so overwhelming that it wasn't possible for anyone to do anything about it. Until now, that was the usual idea of ​​flaker rattling. Sate, Sate, surprised. The 31 is "there are few in the ST series. The reason is often mentioned in the explanation so far, but let's summarize the arming here.

1. The tension is tight on the strings (the peg design is g00d !!)
2. The total accuracy of the tremolo 2 knit is good because it is a nut (going to school) knitting gabest.
3. It is also encouraging that a young craftsman who knows about 7 ras and electric guitars adjusts to the perfect wall and ships it.

● Conclusion: Are you fooled by the crappy preaching? Do not. Please read it all over again slowly and insert the guitar that you thought was good. I'm sure that guitar will be a queen for you and you can enjoy a happy music life. At Tokai, you're waiting for your serious attack. I won't approach you.
 
You're welcome! The translations are not the best. Google does some, then I have to piece together a good bit. Hopefully others will come along who can translate and help finish it off.

I recently discovered some old catalogs I had put away in a box under other boxes. Trying to get this info out to the world. No sense in anyone hoarding info that can help others. :wink:
 
You’re so welcome. Translation isn’t perfect. Hopefully we can refine the translations of these catalogs over time.

Yes, I had tried to had some portions of the catalogues translated by a professional months ago. It was helpful, but it was way too expensive to do all the content and catalogues, so Google is quite alright for now :)

Also, I sent you a PM, do have a look when you get the time. Thanks
