Starting threads for each of the colors to document which models have been seen in each color.

This was a "special" color in 1982, so the price should be 5,000 yen higher than similar model in standard colors.

My 1981 ST70/75 MGR.

SN 1024448

Possibly a demo or prototype. Hand painted code ("ST70S MG 068") & "D" stamp on fretboard.

(Note: Pickguard and knobs were changed)

Very cool color. I had read somewhere that D stamped Tokais designated them as guitars destined for the German market. I'll try and find where I read that.

Assuming the D is for Deutschland
 
Thanks. I had read on this forum that it may mean Demo.

I got that guitar from Japan.

Ah, well if you got it from Japan that probably eliminates that theory!

He was wondering if this was one of the seized lawsuit guitars in the UK. Quite possible.

Lawsuit?
