Hi guys, this is my first post.
I've been playing for a lot of years, but have always played strats.
I've even repeatedly passed on a number of Gibson Les Pauls over the years, but I tried a Tokai Love Rocks a few days ago and I think it's time to re-evaluate LP's. This thing plays great and I'm really gassing for this thing.
I know it's an 82 model with a veneer flame top, but other than the serial number there aren't any identifying marks. I've checked the stats, as far as Id'ing it for the correct year, but other than knowing it has a veneer top I don't know what model it is.
It's a brown burst, and after looking at the catalog it looks like a few different models offered this color in 82.
The pickups have been replaced so I can't go by that either.
I read somewhere that there might be a stamp of some kind in the neck p/u route, but even if it's there I'm not sure what to look for.
Can any of Tokai experts here give me any idea of what the stamp might mean, assuming that it's there, or if there's any other way to ID it?
