TOKAI SS40 + SS48 Body Conversion Stratcaster Well, this is a conversion guitar. I bought SS48 guitar(Mid 80's Body), but the neck is very bad condition. I could not fix it. So, I put the Tokai older neck from my stock. It should be SS40 neck from the serial number (Late 70's made). Tokai strat construction (large head, 3 screws type) were changed during 1978-82 time. Later model has the metal plates for tilt adjusting on both neck and body. The earlier construction hasn't got the plates on. So, the neck of SS40 hasn't got the plate, This body has the plate. It functionally no problem. The neck has the extra screw hole on the connecting surface. The previous user used this neck with 4 holes. Now, it is fixed. The electric circuits are original condition. Well, this is conversion guitar, so I could offer a lower price than full original. However, please note both of them are original Tokai. The body is probably Sen (Japanese ash) 3-4P. The neck is maple 1P with Rose Finger board with 42.3mm nut. The weight is 3.5Kg. The body condition is so so. There are several dents and scratches as older guitar, don't effect any for construction. The neck pocket has the paint cracks on both side a bit. Anyway, it is fair condition guitar. If you are thinking to get the brand new condition. It is not. However, it is good for playing. We will ship this guitar with used Gigbag. Well, just enjoy the JV guitar. |
