2019 Tokai Japan AST-112G Goldstar Stratocaster Yellow Sunburst & new hard case
£669.00 + shipping
JAPAN IMPORT
Wow! What a lovely Strat this is. Made by Tokai Japan in 2019 & in near mint condition.
The guitar is in fabulous condition and is from Tokai Japan's "Vintage Series" It features a two piece Alder body, a one piece Maple neck & 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. A tortoiseshell pickguard and black knobs, pickup covers and switch tip compliment the the yellow sunburst finish well. It is loaded with a set of Tokai's own highly rated vintage MK 3 pickups. The gold is mostly untarnished. Only the neck plate showed any signs & this is minor. All in all a superb guitar from Tokai Japan.
Being a Japanese Tokai, the build quality is superb & the Fretboard radius, at 9.5" (240mm) is flatter, and for me, much more playable than the usual 7.25" vintage radius which can choke out on bends. I also like the fact that the truss rod adjustment is at the headstock so there is no need to remove the neck. Like all Japanese Tokais, the build quality is exceptional as is the playability.

Hard Case
As said many times, all my guitars come shipped in a new black hard case which is included in the price. I find this is the safest way to avoid damage in transit. Please contact me before purchasing if you would like this. Alternatively, if you are collecting the guitar and, like some buyers have cases coming out of their ears, that's no problem, I'll adjust the price (usually around a £50 discount) and I can usually find you an old gigbag to take the guitar away in. The only hard and fast rule I have is that I won't ship a guitar in a gigbag.
If you are further interested in this guitar, you can either email me with any queries & I'll do my best to get back to you within 24 hours.
Or, you can buy quickly and safely using the PayPal "buy now" button and I will ship to most UK addresses the next working day. Highlands and Islands can be slightly dearer but I'll keep the cost as low as I can.
I can accept credit card payments by phone and will also offer a small discount to purchasers using bank transfer payments.
Overseas customers are very welcome but please email me first for shipping quotes.
