If this is a Tokai neck, I'll eat my f*cking hat....

Not sure about that logo. There are a lot of decals out there these days. In fact, I have a 'Springy Sound' decal sitting in a drawer here.
Neck finish looks a bit pasty too for the year. Unless of course the camera flash whited it out a bit.
No serial number to go by.
I had a 1981 ST70. Sold it to a guy in the UK a couple of years back now.
I'll say this two ways.
1. The ST70 did not have a skunk stripe on the back.
2. Had a slab rosewood board...no skunkstripe.
Far as I know, the ST70 is the only 'Springy' with a slab rosewood board and no skunstripe...
G'day!
Yes, we're still enjoying life here thanks mate. Miss pie & mash and the warm beer though. I usually stand my bottles of stout on the barbie to warm up. :lol:
The original 6Ib weight description was to get buyers even more interested. :D
Last year I bought a super lightweight mahogany 2 piece strat body from Musikraft. That was 3Ib dead which is very light for any kind of mahogany.
Nice if the history was verified.
Hola Luis!
Thanks for the warm welcome mate. Just been so busy with other things these past few years. Live in Australia now. Moved here from the UK in 2005.
Hope you are good.
I came to this conclusion in 2007/8. For me though it was 'been there done that' having started acquiring them since around 1980. Went on the hunt for old Ibby's first. Then when the original JV's and Tokais hit the streets in the UK around 1982...my wallet kept taking a beating.
Have a few...
Hi, I'm Back!

How are you Ned? Been a long time.
I couldn't log into my old acc so I made up a newie that is close.
Looks like you have more members than ever which is great!
I am totally out of Tokai's now. Sold my last one a 81' ST70...
