I just gotta say that this strat is amazing...the build quality is fantastic...the sound is just incredible...!!! Through a vintage fender amp it's tone is pure old school strat...through a Marshall or modern high gain it has the sustain and thickness of a Les Paul...!!!
I would have to say to anyone thinking of buying a strat...try to find a good condition St 40 or St50 which has even better pickup's...they cannot be beaten for the money you will pay...mine cost me about the same as a made in mexico fender and mine would blow it out of the water...I've owned much more expensive guitars in the past but I have never gotten so much for so little money...
My £700 Ibanez super strat is about to go on ebay because the Tokai just blows it away...
Long live vintage Tokai's...:)
