Hi everybody,
I questioned this already but I thought I open up another post, because now I have detailed oics and it will roll up the discussion from another point of view.
That's what I know so far. It is a 2 piece body glued together very well. Allmost not visible. I did the acetobe test. After rubbing a while the laquer dissolved so it should be nitro? It didn't disolve right away but it did. The whole guitar is very light. Abaout 3,2 to 3,3 kg.
Thre is a hole under the pick guard what could be a nail hole or a screw hole. Not sure. No stamp in the routing cavity.
The neck has a stamp like old Fender have. The decal was added later the seller stated. The string tree spacer is metal. The truss rod nut don't look like original old Fender. The tuners look exactly the same as on my Springy.
The vaneer board is thinner than on my Springy or Goldie. The frets might be changed because they are bigger than on my other Tokais.
The pickguard is changed totally I think. There is nothing what points to a Tokai.
The big question mark is: What does the stamp on the neck end say to us? It looks original, not applied later. I don't belive that it is a origanal Fender. But what other brand used to put a stamp on the neck using the same code like Fender?
The neck profile is a little flatter than on my Springy or Goldie. It tends a bit more to C instead of a D.
The neck plate serial is L01XXX.
So what strange kind of guitar did I buy. Because it has good pickups and it's a nitro 2-piece body and it has a Fender case included, I think it is still a good buy but again: What is it?
