TOKAI GOLDSTAR SOUND Electric Guitar Stratocaster Type Tokai Junk Treated

All three pickups produce sound, but the selector is behaving strangely due to how it is wired, so I need to rewire it. Tone doesn't work at the moment either. Also, many of the pickguard screws are missing and the back plate is also missing. I think the neck is currently generally straight, but the truss rod is unconfirmed.

Hm. I thought there was something slightly odd about it... it's got a 22-fret neck. Seems mismatched with the otherwise vintage appointments?

 

[Sigmania]

Good catch. I added a “?”

Another odd detail: afaik 22-fret Strat necks usually retains the curve of the 21-fret fretboard end, this one ends in a straight line, like on a Tele.

Weird!

From the pics it looks like it could be a V neck.

Not sure what this is.

And sounds like it was re-wired if he says the switch is not wired properly. Partscaster?

The 22 fret models are usually diving board necks on Tokais.

Square ends on some Custom Edition 22 fret models, so maybe the decal was replaced?

Or unknown model?
