Hmmm...interesting. I thought I had some 1980 (maybe 81) springys with stamps. Could be wrong as I never paid all that much attn. to the stamp as it relates to the year. Even without the stamp or sticker, it is pretty easy to tell what model it is by looking at the body pieces and neck...

:D Yeah, I don't know why that is...to my knowledge there was no rhyme or reason as to why some got stamped and some didn't... in any case, I've owned many, many Springys and there was no difference in quality between stamped ones and unstamped ones.

Yes, I'm the seller. It is an ST-50. Yes, some Springys in '82 had L serials. There is nothing unusual about an L serial Springy from 82. Yes, it does have deluxe tuners and final prospec saddles.

No special reason... I can't find enough time to PLAY guitar much less talk about them.. :)

Here is is http://cgi.ebay.com/1982-Tokai-Springy-Sound-Stratocaster-DEAD-MINT-Beauty_W0QQitemZ200287127734QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item200287127734&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318 It is a nice one..

Unfortunately I haven't found much info on these Springys. They do have serials...just not stamped on the neckplate. It's stamped in the body neck pocket. I only just discovered these narrow n.p. Springys last week.

Check out the neckplate on the one below. No serial, narrow. Maybe they were made for a limited time in '78, not sure though. LoverockerUK, do you mind telling me what the serial is on your '78 Springy- or just the first 2 numbers? Thanks...

I've never seen a Springy with a gasket, but the one I'm talking about has a neckplate that is a 1/4" or so narrower. I think the earliest (78) Springys had those. The serial would then be in the neck pocket. I saw a white one on Ebay now...wow the guy is asking a lot for it.

Does anyone have any info on Springy Sounds that have narrow neckplates? I saw one, but I couldn't find a serial number anywhere.

This Springy Sound is not in original condition. The headstock has been repainted (blue), the body has been partially repainted (blue). One of the "E" pickups has been replaced to a "U" pickup. Plays fine. Pictures available. [email protected] make an offer if interested.

A Tokai Reborn LS-60 cherry sunburst in near mint condition...any idea what the going price is? Thanks in adv. :)
