Truss Rod Condition: Fully functional & can be adjusted The frets are playable but any future work would warrant a re-fret. I believe these to be the original frets but there are limitations on future work. The frets are quite low, showing considerable wear. Indents, finish chips, scratch markings are all visible to each side of the guitar and to the neck pocket lacquer cracks can be seen which is common on a guitar of this age and not of structural concern. The lacquer to the fretboard sides appears to have worn and there is an indent to the treble side, first fret, on the fingerboard, this does not affect playability for my personal technique.īody: The listing pictures show the overall aesthetic of the guitar. Neck: Light finish indents are noticeable under brighter lighting, these do not significantly detract from playability. Indents and scuff markings are visible mainly to the sides and top edge. Headstock: Visible signs of ageing can be seen on the listing pictures which highlight the most noticeable imperfections.

The number indicate the actual price when new in Yen. I have seen numbers from 45 to 120 or something like that. The HIGHER to number is that is stamped on the surface of fret 20 or so, the more expensive the guitar was when new. You would need to change pups and that, in my view defeats the object. Pickups sounded like the old Fenders, they are low output, so chimey and clear, more Hank Marvin then SRV so it's not your guitar if you like to play overdriven etc. Mine had slender necks, fast neck but skinny. 1 Hey all Just looking at buying a Tokai Springy Sound and seeing if it is real and what it is worth FenderBNDR Strat-Talker 289 Ireland 2 Looks like a 1979 Tokai St-42 or ST-45. Later versions have a different logo and are not called Springy Sound. it mimics the look of the 1950's Fender original Strats ( not the words but the look). The spaghetti logo version are the oldest ones from 1979 thru 1983 or so. They are as good as the 1982-1984 AVRI's from Fender.
