Hi All,
Just bought a 82 Silver Star Stratocaster from Japan [the low end model - 48 I believe, no stamp on rosewood fingerboard]
http://www.tokaiforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=22622
She sounds fantastic but has 2 issues after 33 years of being played to death!
1) The saddles have pits in them - they still sound OK but I would like to replace them with ones stamped "tokai"
If anyone has a bridge or saddles for sale?
2) the tuners are really bad and I fear the gears are shot - they barely keep the guitar in tune and kind of click into place - just slightly under tune - so needs replacement, I would like to keep them stock so if anyone has a good set of the low end tuners for this model?
Thanks in Advance
[I checked ebay alreayd and no luck - also its not a fender so I wont put fender gear on it and would like it as stock as I can - hardware will go in the gig bag in case the guitar ever gets sold etc..]
