It looks ok to me. Ask the seller if the bridge saddles are stamped "Final Prospec". The tuners are stamped "Deluxe" as they should be.

Hello and thanks !

The seller has confirmed to me the saddles being stamped "Final Prospec" !

The only thing that stirrs me a bit is the 3-piece body .. :-?

Is that normal with a 57 Copy ?

It depends on the model. The more expensive models have bodies made of fewer pieces. A TST-40 and 50 normally has a three piece body. I guess that the Goldstar in the auction is a TST-50. To be absolutely sure it is a Tokai body you could ask the seller to remove the pickguard and check the codes in the control cavity. There should be a code like 6=8 and also a color code, it should be GS (golden sunburst) for that one.
