Spotted for sale in the UK. Can't be many of these about.

Here we have for sale a very rare special edition model from the golden era of Japanese guitars. Part of the Tokai 1982 Special Limited Products catalog, the SS70 (Special strat) model is based on the rare and highly collectible Fender "The Strat" guitar of the early 80s. It features a walnut finish body with matching finished neck and headstock, stunning Brazilian Rosewood fretboard and all brass hardware.
Only 50 of these models were ever made and nowadays they are selling for upwards of £1000 and rising. This one is priced considerably less due to having been modded at some point with a Ritchie Blackmore style Scalloped fretboard. Apart from that it is all original and in good condition with typical wear for its age, no breaks or repairs and plenty of life left in the frets.
Comes with a Fender American Elite Series Hard Case (case has a few external cracks but is otherwise fully functional).

Only 100 made in each color. Pretty wild.

The knock on them is that they are heavy from what I hear.
