Ivan - did you frequent the SOS Forum and if so do you still use a Tweed Deluxe clone? I got one a few months ago - marvellous thing Apologies if you are not that Ivan

Mainly 40 and 50's, less 60's and few 80's I have seen more 50's than anything

Which in itself makes it fishy I couldn't buy from that info alone

I am not an expert but from what I have picked up from the forum gurus, the goldstar was IDENTICAL to the springy especially 84/85 but you do need to keep track of the pickup changes.

No probs - I think I got what I needed anyway and all of interest Regards

Looks like mine might be a late 84 ST50 then, other than the round string tree, which I guess could have been added when the Fender logo was applied Thank you very much for all your help Will let you know how it goes and stick around and try and contribute to the forum Thinking about looking...

Barks- is yours a 50's style neck? If so how thick is it compared to the Fender modern C shape?

It would be good to have a probable year of manufacture Not that it bothers me regarding the purchase of it - if I like it and bond with it, then i'll have it, but it will affect what I am willing to pay Thanks again

Thanks again Len Anybody know what the neck profile is like on these?

Thank you Len Just to clarify: Are you saying the V1 were stamped "V" and V11 were stamped "V1"? Cos that's what the marks look like to me Am I just missing something? Finally, and thank you for your patience, do the V1 sounds similar to the "E's" and the V11 sound similar to the "U's"?

That might not be bad as I would mainly be playing through a Tweed Deluxe clone that is certainly not shy on bass :) I am sort of going for a thicker Richard Thompson ish sound - so definitely a 50's strat sound I think Thank you for the input, much appreciated

I think, though I am no expert, it might be an 84 or 85 TST50? Any opinion on whether the V1 are worth keeping?

Dear All I have not owned a Tokai for a couple of years and am interested in buying this TST from a store in the UK Unfortunately it has been Fenderized with a headstock logo Trying to pin down year and model if possible It looks like a 2 piece body and has V1 pickups Here are some photos Thank...
