I've got an 81 ES100J(azz) model - lower output pickups than the R version. Neck is substantial but not huge. Very much a 59 Gibson profile

Thanks Sig..... appreciate the leg work. Man, that speckled Tele (almost looks like birdseye) is fantastic! It does look like a seam at the high E ferrule as you spotted on my pics but then as you go above the ferrule toward the neck, the single piece graining is evident. Buddy of mine got...

Great work on your research! Fascinating too.....

Good eye .... yes that is a second serial number. My assumption was that they put another neck on while the ink was still wet and then swapped it out for the one on it now.

Cool - thanks!

Here's the pic of the serial number on the end of the neck: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sq4swa6tktjdz9m/78%20Tokai%20ST60%20Serial%20Number.jpg?dl=0

The narrow unstamped plate on my 78 ST60 measures 2-1/2" L x 1-13/16" W Here's my archived photos of the guitar: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/f4u1a13t5xhxf0p/AACjeX39c_-IDj9Gi3Re-RFda?dl=0

I actually do have mine out of storage and playing it. I'll measure tonite. As corrected above, I didn't even know that some of the 78's had serial numbers on the plate. But time and again, Tokai has little "surprises" they throw out there every now and then.

That's a beauty ..... I think that Greco had some of the most gorgeous bursts (particularly the plaintops) during the Super Real / Mint Collection era EG's. I love the Screamin 82 pickups too...... man, they have really shot up in pricing.

75?? I don't think so. I have one just like it and it's an 84.

There are plenty of radius gauges available - I prefer this type because they are notched so that you can put them over your strings and they rest on the fretboard: https://www.solomusicgear.com/product/solo-notched-radius-gauges/

You sure do.... do you work? :lol:

What a beautiful plaintop ..... good luck with the sale.

Dusty also sang Francine, Hi Fi Mama, and I think Party On The Patio. He also traded verses with Billy on Heard It On The X, Beer Drinkers / Hell Raisers. Dusty had a very distinct voice and it really made the songs he sang.

Stunning guitar .... price is ridiculous

Unfortunately I didn't record it ..... should probably do that. It occurred to me that the age and cleanliness of the strings can also add to tonal variances - obviously new or newish strings are much brighter and snappy than strings that have been played for awhile. That can also affect how...
