1981 Tokai Japan ST-70 Springy Sound '57 Reissue Stratocaster (Black)

1981 Tokai Japan ST-70 Springy Sound '57 Reissue Stratocaster (Black)Made in Japan in 1981, the ST 70 Springy Sound was a new model for Tokai and was their mid range '57 styled Stratocaster. Alder body with a black poly finish, one piece maple neck with a '57 slim U profile (7. 25" radius), it weighs just over 3. 3kg's. This one arrived with us as just a neck and body with minimal components, so we dug through our stash of NOS components that we received from Tokai's warehouse in Japan to put it together in the most

Mahogany double-cutaway body with a lightly carved maple top

"Custom Made" inlay at the 24th fret

Very good used condition as pictured with some mild finish wear from basic use

digital delay

given a full deep clean and professional setup (including the previously mentioned refret) prior to listing

achieving a more powerful and firm sound

the frets have plenty of life and the neck is straight with a fully functional truss

It plays as good as it looks with a straight neck and shiny frets that have some light pitting but play smoothly

the 2000S had a solid spruce top coupled with a beech back and sides and a maple centre block

Loaded with the three original vintage voiced single coils controlled by the original accordion style slider buttons along with the original vibrato system that's somewhere between a Bigsby and a Jaguar system that's capable of smooth wobbles without losing too much tuning stability

Bridge design: Tune-o-matic

Has a brand new output jack installed along with some new pickguard and neck screws
