This is a fantastic and rare 1980s Tokai Goldstar Sound ST65 in the highly desirable vintage Custom Color Lake Placid Blue.

Built during the golden age of Japanese guitar craftsmanship (MIJ), the ST65 was one of Tokai's higher-tier 'Pre-CBS' vintage Fender Stratocaster replicas. It offers the exact dimensions, resonance, and build quality that made Tokai famous worldwide among vintage enthusiasts.

Condition & Aesthetics:

• Body: Clean, well-preserved overall condition with minor signs of handling consistent with its age. The Lake Placid Blue finish still pops nicely.

• Neck: Features authentic vintage finish checking / lacquer crazing along the neck. This gives it a genuine, natural aged look and a smooth, broken-in feel without affecting playability.

• Electronics & Hardware: Original vintage-style tuners, Final Prospec stamped saddles, and classic vintage-voiced pickups for that iconic bell-like Strat 'twang'.
