This is being sold as a 1979 strat, but the contours look fishy to me.. they are very pronounced, like those of an early 70s strat. The strap buttons are also funny looking. There was a lot of quality control problems with these strats, but I have a feeling this is a Tokai body from a silver star or some other strat copy. What do you think?

from what it appears, this is not a Tokai body.
The neck has a Fender 1979 serial number - USA.
Fender Japan did not begin until 1982. Plus the stamps and stickers are all wrong for a Tokai.
The body would probably be quite weghty, I'd imagine. Most of those '70s Fenders are.

Looks all wrong. I have a Tokai and it doesn't look like this body. The finishing is all wrong - the paint looks way too thick. The strap button is wrong and the upper horn is slightly different in shape.

Anyone want to guess where the PU assembley comes from?
