Just wanted to start a thread to try and nail down when the first Springys were made and to preserve any photos of them.
From what I have read on here, the first ones were made in 1977, but I am not sure if I have seen pictures of them. If anyone has pictures to share it would be great to document them here.
Would also like to document the evolution of this guitar line for Tokai at the very beginning.
