This 1980 ST-60 is a premium, higher-tier model from that legendary production run, beautifully finished in a vibrant and iconic Candy Apple Red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eStepping up from the ST-50, the ST-60 model offers upgraded appointments and an even higher level of selection in its materials. It features a resonant, contoured body paired with a gorgeous one-piece Maple neck carved to a highly comfortable, period-correct soft 'V' profile that transitions smoothly into a 'C' as you move up the fretboard. The striking Candy Apple Red finish has aged beautifully over the last four decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThe true magic of the ST-60 lies under the single-ply white pickguard. This model is factory-equipped with a trio of Tokai's legendary \"E\" stamped single-coil pickups. Highly prized by tone purists, these pickups utilize vintage accurate formvar wire to deliver a remarkably authentic mid-50s voice, boasting a glassy, bell-like top-end chime, a hollow, percussive midrange, and a tight, snappy bass response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eThis 1980 example is in excellent original condition with the only real wear of note being a light scratch around the spring plate on the back. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis guitar has been given a full service by our luthiers at the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca title=\"Vintage Instrument Workshop\" href=\"https:\/\/thevintageinstrumentworkshop.com\/\"\u003eVintage Instrument Workshop\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and includes a 2 year warranty.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tokai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56929545159034,"sku":null,"price":1195.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0254\/1189\/files\/1980TokaiSpringysoundST-60.jpg?v=1779974106","url":"https:\/\/notomguitars.com\/products\/1980-tokai-springy-sound-st-60","provider":"No.Tom Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
