New to the forum, thought I'd share my Tokais. 1982 on the left, 1981 on the right. Both recent acquisitions--I believe the 81 has been pictured here before.

 
Wulfman, nice find. I think I may try for an 80 next, that or see if I can swap out the maple neck pictured. It's a fine neck but stamped D and I prefer the soft V like the rosewood pictured.
 
H Grimus,

Both are ST-70S OW and OWR. The finish is Olympic White - not Blonde.
Blonde is a transparent colour used on ST-100 and 120 only or Breezysound models.
They have coloured headstock and gold hardware.
Stats are the same for an ST-60
Can yu PM me please

Peter, thanks for the info. Just curious: what do the "S" and the "R" indicate, any idea?

PM sent---though unfamiliar as I am with the PM system not entirely sure it was delivered!

Hope so.
 
Hi Grimus,

Got your PM - thanks.
The 'R' indicates a rosewood fingerboard, the 'S' means it was a Special model, and not in line with the regular Springysound.
Gold hardware, sealed tuners, coloured headstock, special bridge - all add up to a higher price than a regular ST-70.

Not a strat, but a "BL" (blonde) finish 1982 Ash bodied TE-80 for comparison purposes :

reborn, is that the original bridge?
thought they had brass, and that cutout looks like a barden

Peter if I read correctly, only st100-120 are blonde??
I have a st-80 blonde from 1980

 
Looks like my 1980 ST80 is blonde, then - I can see pretty much ALL the grain through the finish, which is very thin nitro.
