Any idea what pickups were used in it? Strange how it's a double cutaway LP style body with a V headstock.

Hey guys, here is an odd on. Picked up this Goya without pickups for almost nothing, but am wondering if anyone here has seen a guitar like this one? Looks like a Matsomuka to me, but I could be wrong. Any thoughts?

has anyone ever seen this type of pickup cavity in a copy? I picked this copy up at a garage sale for next to nothing. Set neck, pickup routing is in the middle of the cavity? The truss rod is a hex style similiar to the EPI Les Paul guitars. No markings on the hardware. One pickup says...

I think you are right. Seems crazy to swap necks unless he wanted to replicate a strat. Looks like the neck was planed down a little and regretted too plays very good before a setup so I thinks she's a keeper.

Ok when I get it back from the ol tech I can. It's getting the neck set up as I am not too good with that. :D I'm sure it's a Tokai the era well that's a whole different story. I will keep you posted.

It's a 76 fender neck :)

I don't think the neck plate is legit. The first three digits weren't stamped but scribed and horribly done at that. The last four digits 3472 are stamped. The neck pocket has an ST80 which made me believe it was a Tokai the neck is a Fender 76 neck based on the stamp on the end of the neck. It...

Thanks Len it plays amazing. I couldn't be any happier.

Here is a pick of my neck plate as you can see the first three digits don't look legit and were probably scribed by the previous owner to replicate a strat # I think it's a Tokai but not 100%. The routing on the bridge pickup looks identical sans the extra routing that was added. It doesn't have...

Hey thanks for the info. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by distance on the screws means? Is that between them sideways or up and down? The guitar is at a techs getting set up. The serial number on the plate is 3472 although it appears someone scribed a 800 in front of it potentially trying...

Ok I picked up a parts guitar. It has a 76 Fender neck which appears to be mounted on an ST80 body with Fender Custom pups and a reissue Fender bridge. Here is a pick of the body. As you can see someone routed the pickup cavities for bigger pups but you can see the Tokai round screw holes still...

I should indicate it's an original electric version TG on head stock. Has rocker style switches (contacts need cleaning), plastic insert for tuner pegs, has a straight neck and plays surprisingly good for 30yr old plus strings.

Hello there. I am a Japanese guitar collector but focus mostly on Strat style guitars. I recently came upon a Tokai Hummingbird and am curious if anyone here may be interested. I'm on the West Coast Vancouver BC and if anyone is interested you can PM for telephone number, credentials ect. I...
