About This Listing

Up for grabs is this cool vintage 1983 Tokai Silver Star SS-38. It’s a great looking & playing Piano Black CBS style build. It has an alder body with a maple neck, large resonant headstock, fast neck w/ skunk stripe and 3 bolt neckplate. It has an Indian rosewood fingerboard, 3 ply scratchplate and tremolo arm. This one is well along the road to being a real vintage looker. It plays beautifully and the old wood feels very resonant. Nice weight too at 3.5kg so not a boat anchor. The slender rounded c profile neck is dead straight, truss rod is working fine and years left in the frets. The maple has darkened over the years and looks very cool. There are dings/scratches on the guitar as you’d expect but nothing bad has ever happened to it.  This thing is a dream to play, resonant and balanced and has the classic looks of a true vintage aged Japanese Tokai Strat. It's has a set up since the pics nd has new strings etc. A very cool guitar. Complete with tremolo arm and gigbag. Vintage Japan at it's very best.

We carefully hand-select all our guitars and refuse a lot more than we accept, if they don’t blow us away on all fronts, we just don’t put them in our shop; if it’s for sale by Gas Station Guitars, you know it’d gonna be pretty special.  All pictures are of actual guitar, we do not use stock photos. NOT FOR TRADE or part exchange, thanks. We ship to the E.U, Europe, U.S, Canada, Australia, NZ and of course the UK.
