Need help verifying a potential purchase

boostedsuby · Jun 4, 2020

I have been after a Tokai for years and found this one close by. Can anyone weigh it on it? From the features I see and the research I have done, it just doesn't match anything I have found, but I'm a sucker for a blonde strat. Thanks in advance.

I’m sorry, but it doesn’t look correct, in my opinion.
I’d avoid it.
Logo is not quite right, neck plate is wrong, scratch plate is wrong, bridge saddles aren’t right. Mmm, it would be nice see inside.

Thanks a lot for the reply. Just for my own education, could you tell me what is wrong with the items you mentioned?

It’s just everything points to it being something else, such as a Squier.
The neck plate has a plastic ‘under plate’, like a Squier.
The pick guard isn’t a TOKAI, due to the colour.
Some photos of the body routing and electronics would also help.
