Hi Everyone,
Curiosity driving this post. I have a goldstar sound, maple neck (fantastic),sunburst,cheaper tuners,no final prospect on bridge saddles, no staggered pole-pieces (just flat) on pickups, 3-way switch, no serial no. on neck plate. From reading other posts the clues lead me to believe it's an st-40 (economy type) guitar...do you think i'm correct?...or does the lack of serial no. mean that it may be tokai neck on another body?...either way it's still a great guitar..so i'm not that bothered..just curious. The pickups arn't all that great so i'm tempted to replace them (any suggestions as to a good pickup?)...i'd quite like fender custom '54's but they are a little pricey for me!
