hey guys, i'm new to tokai's and i'm new to this forum. i did some searching but i couldn't quite seem to find what i was looking for, so lets see if you guys can help me out..
so, tonight i made a trade and i ended up with a tokai "goldstar sound" strat knockoff. the guy figures its from the early 80's, but who knows really. this is what i do know:
1. it doesn't have a serial number on the headstock
2. the neck-plate is stamped 2554
3. i took the pickguard off and the pickups all have "J M C" written on the backs of them, and then a capital "E" stamped with ink
4. all the routed areas are lined with foil tape (can't remember the actual name of this stuff) but i peeled some back and the color code is "6=8 MB Z"
i believe the color of the paint is lake placid blue.
5. i took the neck off and there is nothing written in the neck pocket, but there is a "6=8" on the butt of the neck.
i'll try and get some pictures soon, but can any of you give me ANY information on this guitar? if its fake or not, maybe the year it was made, and possibly how much its worth? its in pretty good shape, a few scratches on the body finish but thats about it
thanks guys
