Hi all Tokai-people,
this is my first posting on this forum (a great one indeed!) and yes, I'll be right away bothering you with an ID'ing issue.. sorry guys, those who's got a fed-up with such, just ignore.. )
The Tokai-strat in question is quite fresh one, I suppose something like 2000 - 2002 year model. There's serial number F01015050 in the neck plate and no "Made in"-indication found anywhere in the guitar. More details you can see in pictures at http://kotisivu.mtv3.fi/stefanus/tokai.html
So, I would be pleased if anyone would have info whether the guitar is AST-33 or 50 (or something else perhaps..). I've gone through quite an amount of previous posting on this forum cocerning Tokai-strat dating (also checked tokairegistery-site), but based on what I've found I can't convince myself which model this guitar is (either where it's been manufactured).
Many thanks for any hints in advance!
BTW, interesting how the colours gets altered in the pics depending on the colour "chart" of the picture.. in the picture of the guitar body, it lies on a cherry-wood table and also the guitar body looks like cherry coloured, however in the first picture where the background is somewhat blue the guitar's colour seems more like it actually is.
