Hi All,
Please help me determine what I have here!
Backstory: My dad picked up this guitar in the early/mid 80's from a friend who bought it new. The logo on the headstock must have been removed by the first owner. I started learning on this guitar in 6th grade and always just thought it was some cheap knock off as it was not branded. Last Christmas my dad offered it to me for my kids to start learning and i took it. I started searching for what it was and stumbled on Tokai using the "oldies but goldies" sticker still on the headstock. I've started dipping into the rabbit hole but there is a lot of scattered info and I was wondering if you could help me with model/year/any relevant info!
based on the limited research and comparing pics it looks like it could be an '82 springy sound '57-'62 replica based on the 5 digit serial number. I've also looked into goldstars and it may line up as one of those as well. The B/E string guide on the headstock is throwing me off as many pics I see are not rounded like this one, not sure what that means. Can anyone tell me what model this might be? thanks in advance!
