Alright after months of searching i've found a vintage springy sound. I tried identifying it myself but i run into some weird trouble. First the pics:
Alright i'm having the following concerns:
1. the pickup covers do not seem aged like the knobs...almost everywhere i look i see them aged. Are they not original?
2. the headstock decals indicate its a pre lawsuit guitar. checking the serial number it has 5 digits, and when i check this page: http://www.tokairegistry.com/tokai-info/tokai-fender.html this is an indication that it's a ST50 or a ST60. and the first digit is a 1, indicating it's from 1981. HOWEVER when checking the 1981 catalog (http://brochures.yokochou.com/guitar-and-amp/tokai/1981/en_02.html) the shown 2 tone sunburst with maple is actually a ST80 and no ST50/60 with sunburst is shown, so i'm quite confused.
3. Sadly i'm in no position to take the guitar apart so a cannot investigate further, i can get it for around 600 euro's (794,51 us dollars), so i'm wondering if this would be a good price
Thanks a lot for your help!
