Finally, a red strat is added to my collection :) this is an ST-60 from the ‘64 Oldies Collection in Flamingo Orange with a rosewood laminate fretboard. Many more pics and details about its history on my website - https://www.siavintageguitars.com/tokai-st-60-flamingo-orange

Congrats.

Just looked. E Pickups?

Could it be an ST65?

Did you do a lacquer test?

This sure looks like an ST80 pickguard assembly.

By the way, weird to see a "-" and not an "=" on the body.

I usually see that 1985 on.

Guessing the ink just didn't register when they stamped it? Or some sort of special order?

Lol, yes, did the acetone test and it’s not nitro. Given all features, I concluded that it was a 60 and Peter agreed too. The hand written 1-1 is curious, I really don’t know why it wasn’t stamped. The Allen key nut is another mystery, it should have been the Philips style to properly match the catalogue. Same with the Ash body instead of Alder advertised in the catalogue. I figured these inconsistencies might occur when at the very beginning of producing a new model? I don’t know.

Wow... What a fascinating guitar.
