Selling an all-original 1983 lawsuit era Tokai Silverstar SS-50 Stratocaster for $550/- (the guitar on the left in the picture)
Modeled after Fender's 70s CBS 'Big headstock' Strat with 3-bolt neck joint.

This guitar is now rare. Even the famous Ochanomizu Street in Japan does not have a single one left. The Tokai Silverstars were made only for the Japanese Domestic Market.




Specs:

Model: Tokai Silverstar SS-50 (Following models were available: SS-38, SS-40, SS-48, SS-50, SS-60, SS-80)
Neck: Feels like a modern 'C'
Neck Joint: 3 bolt with micro-tilt adjustment
Color: Metallic Red with thin poly finish
Fretboard: Maple
Fretboard radius: 7.25"
Frets condition: 7/10
Pickups: 'S' Grey bottom pickups (All original)
Trem block: Original STEEL tremolo block with 'made in japan' stamp.

EVERYTHING on this guitar is 100% original from the day it left the factory in 1983.

*volume pot faulty - I will include a brand new Montreux Guitar Parts CTS 250K Volume pot. I didn't replace it as I wanted to keep the guitar 100% original.

Overall Condition: 7/10 (dings and scratches here and there)

Setup for string gauge 0.010
