1982 TOKAI (model AST-'62) 1959 STRATOCASTER COPY!!
w/ORIGINAL MIJ TWEED CASE
**As always a fresh Pro Set-Up! Frets Gently leveled, Crowned and polished, Truss rod tested/adjusted Good. Intonation checked/set, Radius at saddles checked and corrected, I spent several hours on this set-up making sure you get a Vintage Guitar that Arrives Ready to Jam!! Amazing Guitar!!
------- HAS ALL ORIGINAL PARTS AND CASE------
The 1982 Catalog says the model with a 5-Digit Serial number stamped in the Neck plate it is a Copy of a 1956-1960 Stratocaster. I don't consider myself a "Strat Guru" so after a lot of Surfing, I am calling this a "1959" Version from the spec comparisons I found.
OK Tokai collectors this is it! Proof that they changed the USA marketed headstock in 1982, if you go on the Tokai Registry.com you will see just how rare this Beauty is, they mention the headstock Update was done on USA marketed Strats as Early as 1982 but only confirm a 1985 model has it, being unsure if they were even made the change in 1982 or not. Well here she is!!
Tokai pulled out all the stops on this one, matching the specs to 1959 Strat Nicely, the only the politically correct major deviation I can see is the headstock. But Just as Cool because we all Know Tokai simply makes one of the best Strats Period!!
