Got my Tokai today:
I had the seller take off the neck for shipping, so I could check the neck stamp right away:
Body code is matching:
Interesting that the color code seems to be YSO, not YS?
January neck and body stamps and a low L+5 serial dates that to assembly in possibly still February 1982:
Electronics look untouched (sorry, bad photo):
Finish has suffered a few blemishes in 42 years, the poly(urethane) finish has sunken into the grain:
Before I put it back together, I gave the fretboard a good cleaning and polished the frets:
So now I have to get used to that old farm girl, I think this afternoon we both were not quite sure yet what to think of each other...
