Up for sale is a RARE 1981 Tokai “The Strat” model ST-70 Limited edition in excellent condition. 100% original. A really well made replica of “The Strat” model. Made in Japan.

The official catalog says it's “Lake Blue” finish but it's fading nicely and I think now it's retro deep vintage color. The finish on this guitar is Superb (Thin finish, unlike the Fenders of the era which were invariably coated in a thick tone-killing polyester skin).

It features Alder body, Maple neck with Matching headstock, Maple fretboard, Brass bridge, block, saddles and knobs. It's a really solid bridge that gives the guitar a bright, twangy sound. Pickups are the original "U Stamped Gray Bottom". All the electronics are the original.

The body has some minor dings and minor nicks at edges, a small dent on the backside near the back plate. Otherwise very clean body with only minor scratches. The hardware is tarnished but looks great. The neck has natural relic at the fingerboard, a thin finish clear peeling on the front of the headstock, a few minor dings at the headstock edges, weather checking on the backside. Backside of the neck smooth.

The neck is Straight. The truss rod works fine at either directions. The vintage frets with low crowns show some wear but overall are in good shape with no any grooves. 40 years passed since new but it's very comfortable to play with low-action (1.8mm/1.9mm @12th fret).

You can see the High-res photos. For more details please see the photos.

The weight of the guitar is 3.73kg (8.22lbs). No case included but will be correctly packed for shipment.

I pack carefully for a long journey!

To all buyers;
