Partscaster ???

Serial number on the neck plate (221245) is from (1987/88) 2-3 years after the pot dates (1985).

Pickups should be "V" marked MKII.

Seems like either the neckplate or the harness was switched.

I suspect the pots and harness came out of an earlier guitar.

See the 1987 serial number, pots, and production marks on this guitar for reference:

Can you help identify this Tokai Goldstar sound.
