Hi all,
I am new to Tokai instruments.
I have a question with respect to a 1981 Springy Sound I have. I seem to find pics in this forum of maple neck ST 50's with 8 screw, single plate pic guards and round string guides (ie: pre 1958 Strat copy) and others with 11 screw, 3 laminate plate pic guards and tree string guides (ie: post 1957 Strat copy), as I say, all with Maple necks. When I look at the catalogues however, it appears the ST 60 is a 1956 copy (single layer pic guard plate, 8 screw) and the ST 50 is a 1958 copy (triple layer pic guard and 11 screw).
Is this the case? or am I mistaken? The catalogue reproductions on the registry are difficult to discern so I may be wrong. I am looking at the 1982 catalogue. My guitar, from the serial, is a 1981 model.
Can anyone clear up this confusion for me please.
Thanks in advance.
