Flamed Maple Necks

[Sigmania]

Going to collect these.

Tokai made flamed neck models for a while then stopped doing it altogether it seems.

I would guess that the wood is not only harder to source, but also harder to work with and finish to a smooth surface with the irregularities in the wood?

Probably not very stable, either.
I see a lot of cheap guitars with flamed necks, but not that many 'good' guitars with them.

My 1979 ST100 is 43 years old and the neck is perfect. Low action, no buzz, etc.

Description of item

This is a Tokai Springy Sound ST100 with gold parts with a serial number starting with 0 and 100 fret ends. There is some paint loss and discoloration. Rust and dullness can be seen on the TOKAI engraved metal parts. I couldn't check the sound output because one knob was missing. Other items have not been checked, so this item is currently listed as junk that requires maintenance. Please bid on the assumption that the item will be used for research, repair, or as a spare. Weighs approximately 3.4 kg, nut width approximately 4.2 mm. Please check the photos for other conditions. Accessories include the brown soft case shown in the photo.
