Post Your Fender Type Tokais: Strats, Teles, Basses

[Sigmania]

I have seen threads on the fancy Lesters on here, but not sure I have seen one on the wide variety of Fender style Tokais out there?

Please post your pics. I'm a fan of wood grain, but also the variety of paint colors. The recent thread on a Flamingo Orange ST and pics from the first Tokai convention got me thinking about this.

Curious to see what members have.

I'll start with a picture of a couple spaghetti logo metallic red guitars. 1981 ST80 & 1982 (?) JB50(?).

And my 1979 ST100. It's a 50s style Strat, and simple design, but I think it is a work of art.

GOLDEN SUNBURST (GS)

And my 1981 TE120 Breezy. Super cool pattern in the one piece ash body.

YELLOW SUNBURST (YS)

Those are real beauties

Thanks. Looking forward to seeing what other folks have. Tokai has made some incredible guitars over the years.

Looks like it may be a while before anyone else posts a picture so I may just snag some off the web and this forum to represent the variety Tokai has made.

This Reverb listing is calling this Lake Placid Blue, But it looks like metallic blue to me?

Not sure of the model. This is a metallic color and I think it is probably an ST55?

I hear you. Remnants of hurricane Ida about to move through here. Expecting a day or two of rain.

This is my presumably 1984 TE...80? Heavily played and modded.

 

[Sigmania]

Beautiful. Thanks for posting that.

Oddly Tokai list the metallics with Metallic first except for Gold, as in Gold Metallic and Metallic Green and so forth.

Thanks. I corrected the gold one's name and am going to add the color codes as well.

I assumed that happened because metallic green is MG, and you can't have two MGs? Green came first? Just an assumption.

Let me know if I missed any colors. Trying to grab pics of all the early color variations. Working on finding images of pink colors.
