my goldstar sound strat.. does not have string tree but there 3 holes on the headstock.. i would like to know if my tokai is a stock model or a modified tokai.. i bought it second hand btw.

BTW.. the serial is imprinted on the neck plate.. it starts L****

At some point somebody has added an aftermarket locking nut to it. This was a popular but ugly mod in the late 80s/early 90s. Does it have a normal strat-style trem with 'Final prospec' stamped on the saddles? Sometimes trems were changed at the same time as locking nut was added.

seems the bridge was changed... its not the original bridge..

thanks for the response..

Same thing that happened to my ST-60. THe holes were doweled and the original Tokai bridge were put back on before I bought it.
I can only imagine what songs got played on it before I got it

wulfman.. but yours got string tree.. mine does not have any.. i wonder why?

I'm always suspicous when I see an aged decal, I know that tokais have a habbit of doing it though.

best bet is to get more pics up - if a code is on the heel of the neck then you've probably got yourself a goldstar neck... even better if it matches the code in the body.

^^seems it has been refinished dude

Just found this in the bay - check out the headstock? no string tree - and its had a locking nut removed...

perhaps your goldstar used to be a super edition?
