Is this thing a real 80's Tokai Body??? The neck pocket looks a lot like other Tokai Guitars. But the Humbucker Route and not having any stampings kind of threw me off. Parts body off of EBAY. I wanted a real replacement for my long gone TST56. I also have a really nice AST 56 neck. I have a set of real pickups to go in when I get it all sorted out Please let the experts add their thoughts ...
(There's a towell over part of the body...it's not cut off)
The neck pocket looks alot like some other pictures I have seen...
The Back Route looks like some others I have seen, with the screws showing thru....
The Humbucker Route and lack of ink stamping make me scratch my head... does not seem to match with the 7 hole "50s"pick guard
FINAL PROSPEC looks legit...
Are these the right knobs?
the electronics are gone....it has expensive Fralin Pick Ups in it..maybe the switch is original?
Fralin PUs ..any of this stuff original? I have a brass plate with the original PUs on another guitar...
I have a nice ATS 56 neck... (on a MiniMyte) body)
and a beat up TST neck....has tha Leo looking "T" script...
Please help, I want to put my original TOKAI Pickups, one of the necks and the body, trem and 7 hole pickgaurd together to try to recreate my 84 ish TST56...did I get ripped on the body, or is it legit Tokai?... looks like it is 3 peice, maybe ASH...it's real grainy in the routs ( at least it ain't plywood )
... Big Thanks to felixcatus for showing me how to get the images to display!
