This is a weird guitar...

The serial number is from 1985 I believe, but the name Super Edition is something typically used on Super Strats around this time and extending into the late 80s at least.

This one is a puzzle so I wanted to document it and see if others pop up.

Tokai Japan Limited Edition Strat type.
Fitted with what appear to be Fender Staggered pickups judging by the numbers cast into the plastic bobbins.
Pots are also CTS replacements
Neck has that "shallow C" profile that early Fender Japan instrument have.
Correct vintage frets & radius.
Still sports the "L" series serial number neck plate that the few other "Goldstar" guitars we have had in also had.
Weighs in at 3.62kg
No real indication of production date, end of the neck is stamped 4-1.
Make of that what you will!
