1985? Tokai Goldstar

[Petetom]

Looking at this guitar. Any information about it would be great. Thanks

It’s not from 1985. The big question is does the code on the neck match the code on the body? If it does, then what you were looking at is TST 50 from 1988 or so. The pots are actually from 1990. But the serial number is more in line with something from, 1987, 1988 maybe 1989.

The code on the body does match. What is a fair price?

Oh I don’t know. It looks pretty rough. I would check Reverb and see what they sell for. It’s a late 80s TST 50.

Will do. Thanks

Also, looks like someone replaced the leads on at least one of the pickups?



Pots may have been changed as well? Hard to say, but they date to September 1990.




Looks like they tried to "Fenderize" it with the decal.

What is the serial number? 223636 ?

If you have the code stamped on the side of the switch that could help date it too.

I think I’m going to keep looking. There is a 1979 that I’m interested in.
