You're right,but the ST50 Springys have 3-piece bodys,makes me wonder why they would change the specs for the goldies.

bluejeannot said:Well Stratman ,you are partly right. Tokai used both Sen ash and swamp ash for guitar bodies . Sen ash is not a true ash at all but a good sounding member of the ivy family.Swamp ash Is Ash grown with its toes in the water and as such does not nescessarily have to be from the U.S. The best example I Know of Tokai`s use of Sen is youreST60 pictured here.and for a good example of swamp ash seeSee njnall`s post on Saturday Jan 03 entitled,Was this once an St 50?.His St 55 on photo bucket shows the subtle but unmistakable difference between the two species.Gabe.

stratman323 said:True, but it can be just personal taste. I sold that gorgeous Dakota Red Fender Custom Shop Strat because the neck was too chunky for me. But it was actually one of the nicest Strats I've ever seen, sounded excellent too. But it was better suited to the Polish guy who bought it - he was about 6'4", & the neck didn't seem big to him!
