Hi guys,
My first post, greetings to everybody from Hungary! I recently joined the group of proud Tokai owners, I bought this beautiful Goldstar Sound from 1984:
The seller told me everything is original except the pickup switch and volume pot, but didn't know the exact model.
Based on pieces of information I read on this forum, my guess is an ST-50. The price in USD was about 470, which is a good deal IMO.
The guitar feels very nice and it's in a good overall condition. There are some uneven frets and there's a dent in 18-19th under the 3rd string. I don't think there's enough material left for leveling, so I might take it to refretting soon. Also the neck has almost no relief with the truss rod completely loose, I'm not sure if it's stuck somehow or the wood itself is so stiff. But it's not a big problem, the setup is still okay.
