Hi all Gabe this looks very similar to your ST80, are the saddles Final Prospec of Tokai? Ive updated the pictures folder with the internal and neck pocket shots, all it really confirms is that is a one piece body. I don't have an asetone only thinners, not sure if this will do the same thing...

I'll take the pick gaurd back off and post some additional pictures, but when i has it appart it was difficult to tell if it had ever had a bit of masking tape like my ST40 or the blank bit, there is similarly nothing in any of the pickup routings. I will have a go with some acetone but i'm not...

Hi Suki I have the same issue, I don't appear to have the number of Goldstars as you do but I have two, an ST40 and another which could be an ST50 or 80 (jury is out) the 40 I bought in 84' new and has final prospec saddles, however my other guitar has some obscurities. There is no doubt that...

have a look at the older than 85 forum at the latest goldstar help, this may be for sale, what country are you in?

I have now tied myself up in Tokai Knots and need some help! I have had this guitar for a little while but not really delved into the bowells, however a fret dress was begging so in the process I decided to catalogue everything as I went. I had no doubt that this was a very early Goldstar...

you need to post some pics of your guitar or prespective purchase, you will generally get some good answers. There is a lot of mystery and myth around early Tokai guitars as a result of them being better than Fenders of the time. This has meant that there has been a demand for these guitars...

I think that this could be an all original guitar, the two Goldstars in the link below both date from 1984 as I said in my earlier post, the TST 40 is almost identical to this one but Rosewood fingerboard. However mine deffinately has Final Prospec saddles and 5 sided tuners, however the TST 50...

I agree with the TST40, have a look at the previous post of my electronics. Mine is also from 84' (bought it then) and has 5 sided tuners not 6 sided! and Final Prospect saddles. I am pretty sure the tst40 did not come with what would have then been a fitted tweed case, hence your latter...

Absolutely certain about the timeline, I bought the guitar 6 months old in September 1984, sold a CBS strat for it! I looked at the other post Del and the tuners look very similar, I'll take some new pics and post on here for reference. As I mentioned my ST40 has all its original bits, hence...

Hi Guys Just getting around to this, but it may be of help to some, hope the link works but im pretty hopless at this linking stuff This is the complete assemply from my beloved ST40, completely period correct as I bought it in 84' and have owned it since. Sadly I removed the made in Japan and...

Thanks for the comments, is there anyone out there that knows something about these. I've got it playig nicely now but pickups seem a bit microphonic through my orange? To drum up a bit more interest here are my three Tokai ladies together, the olympic white ive had since 84, when it was new...

i think this will work, Picked it up tonight, one lady owner from new, a bit neglected but a steal at ?60 https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ipi6mpypouheg1v/loc70kict1

Ok my first post on the forum! I've been a Tokai owner since 84' but recently got the bug big style. Saw this cheap on e bay recently and could not resist!! How are these so cheap compared with the other 80's stuff? I know nothing about these other than this one would have been from about...
