Tokai Guitar Stratocaster Springy Sound ST 80 1979

Of all the lawsuit guitar manufacturers of the 1970s and 1980s, by far the most collectible and widely-known brand is Tokai.
Tokai began making electric guitars as long ago as the early 1970s. Two reasons Tokai is the most famous of the lawsuit
makers are #1: Stevie Ray Vaughan played a Springy Sound on occasion, and #2: ZZ Tops plays Love Rock Les Pauls on
stage on occasion.

side from their celebrity introduction to the masses in the US and abroad, the older Tokai lawsuit guitars have the single-
most likeness to original Fenders and Gibsons of the 50s and 60s. The headstock logo of their famous Springy Sound
Stratocaster is a splitting image of the Fender spaghetti logo from the 50s and 60s. What a great replica logo! Aside from
the logo being cool, Tokai melded excellent craftsmanship with extremely smooth pickups; hot U series, vintage V series,
and Dimarzio E series on the strats, and really smooth Dimarzio PAF replica humbuckers on the Love Rock Les Pauls.

The Tokai Stratocaster Springy Sound ST 80 models go from 1000 to 1500 euros in Europe.

For more really good information about Tokais, Ill leave it up to the experts at the Tokai Registry. They do a fabulous job at
keeping eBay safe from fraud (concerning Tokais) and also offer an excellent forum where Tokai lovers can learn more and
share stories www.tokairegistry.com

*or do i have a problem

on the original Fender basses, the tuners did work "backwards" from how they turn now

"some" of Fenders reissues, are the same
as a tribute to the old ones

Okay so im about to drop some serious cash on a custom stratocaster, and was wondering if any of the following specs will negatively impact the sound. I was hoping to get a pre-CBS (before 1960) stratocaster sound. I am aware that the P-Rails will only give a strat sound with certain wiring specifications.

Body: 1-peice solid swamp ash
Neck: AAA Flame maple neck with matching fingerboard, with a locking floyd rose nut
Frets: Vintage Fender Frets
Pickups: Seymour Duncan P-Rail Style Humbuckers
Bridge: Original Floyd Rose Tremolo

Thanks for any advice you can give me.

well, what kind of amp do you have? In my experience, anything but pure tube will sound like garbage. I played my PRS Modern Eagle II through a SS amp, and it was horrible. I play on an all tube Mesa amp for practice, and an orange (brand not color) half stack for gigs.

But seeing as you didn't ask about amps, that guitar will sound great (through the right amp with the right settings). Nothing will impact the sound in a negative way. Good Luck and happy holidays.
