I am looking at this Tokai strat

[Vasshu the humanoid typhoon]

Looks like an AST-62 strat from after 1985 I guess...
It has the newer changed headstock(in case I swap guitars, I'll defently round that bugger down)

Properly set up, that should play nicely. With American pickups and control electronics, it should sound professional. The only remaining issues are price and that extraneous lump on the headstock.

Re: I am looking at this Tokai strat

No need to tinker with the electronics, it is most likely a ST-80 or more.
Setup is easy and such.
Hope the neck is straight and that the guitar is lightweight.
Most of the Tokais I have had required very little attention as it was.

But that headstock...I will so much round that one down...
Ack!
The price is pretty fair.
Only problem is that he lives at the other end of this small country, but it is him who wants to trade...so

My underused La Patrie nylonstringer.
Love it but do not really use it.
I play my Seagull way more than any of my other guitars as it is.
And I miss having a good old fashioned strat, and it is a higherend Tokai and I love the colour plus the matching headstock

Don't look at it, own it and play it. Tokais are great.

Re: I am looking at this Tokai strat
