Rare Japanese Special Release Tokai Super edition that was released in very limited numbers between 1984-86
- The 70 and up guitars from Tokai during this period were outstanding! Alder body, maple neck with rosewood fretboard, Extra Tokai tremolo system, Kluson style tuners, no real fretware and the neck plays and feels Great! Plays like a great strat with humbuckers, you get all the bell like tones clean and when distorted it's awesome.
MODIFICATIONS: It’s had the pickups changed with very powerful ‘Entwistle White’s.. they sound awesome! At some point It did have 7x micro switches fitted to split the coils out of phase single coil etc, now has a sticker over the remaining holes (see photos) The pickups are soldered to the pots as straight Humbuckers with 2x volume 1x tone, but if required/on request I can put a ‘pull-pot to split the pick ups to Humbuckers/single coils. The locking nut has also been removed being pointless having one in the first place! It has NO micro tuners so once it was locked you couldn’t tune it! So there you go, basically a power strat, the neck has a great feel and balance, sounds great and considering its age overall it’s in great condition. Weighs in about 3.8kg fully set up and ready to play - Comes in an old, shaped 1970s plush-lined hard case.
