Looking for a professional gigging or recording quality Strat with tons of true mojo and not an insane price tag?? Then consider this killer vintage Fender Japanese copy. Here is no doubt a lawsuit legend! This is superior quality S Style guitar, made by the fine luthiers of Tokai who are highly regarded as one of the best manufacturers of Fender and Gibson copies with brazen replicas in the 70's and 80's. Tokai guitars have a magic around them that you can't appreciate until you have one in your hands. Many of thier high end models are absolutely on par or superior to many of their American counterparts. This is not a sales pitch, this is an expert opinion by professional players worldwide. This guitar is in exceptional condition with very little to no visible play wear. I would call it near mint.
The 'Springy Sound' was a pre-CBS Stratocaster reissue made in the Tokai Gakki factory Japan in the late 70's until the early eighties. This is a stunning instrument that feels exactly like a vintage Strat should, with a perfectly balanced/comfortable neck and a trio of iconic sounding gray bobbin, alnico magnet single coil pickups.
