This very clean early '80s Tokai's headstock reads: "Tokai Springy Sound, this is the exact replica of the good old Strat." - and that, it is! With desirable "U" stamp gray bobbin pickups, this guitar has all the classic Strat chime you could hope for. It has just a few dings around the body and the pots have been upgraded to CTS 250k which is a welcome modification since the original alpha pots on many vintage Japanese guitars can dampen the sound of the excellent sounding pickups. This guitar has had a recent refret giving it very comfortable modern playability since the original frets on these guitars were quite low to match the '60s Strats they were modeled after. Here is your chance to own a great vintage Stratocaster at less than the cost of a new one!
