Also SS60 would have a 4 bolt neck. Examples on this page: Silver Star Gallery

This is probably a guitar made closer to the end of the year and before the change of the model I would bet. Looooots of stuff changed at the end of 1981. Kind of a revolution in guitar making at Tokai with consequences for the whole indiustry. 1981 catalog specs:

I think this is one right at the transition as I said. Silver Star Gallery Serial Numbers (SS60 - 7 digit on neckplate) 1012758 1024382 1024845
