The Goldstar Sound is the Stratocaster line that followed the Springy Sound in 1983, after the 1982 dispute over the logo and headstock: a new script logo, closer fifties and sixties specifications (54, 57, 62 and 64 models) and, for the American market, the AST with Tokai's own headstock shape beside the TST with the Fender one. The grades are the yen price, the 40 with ceramic pickups, the 50 with U-stamped and the 60 and above with hand-wound E-stamped pickups, on alder where the Springy Sounds had used sen. The current Japanese AST and TST models carry the name on.

Pick your version

29 versions, most sold in the last two years first. Same name, different money: prices are per version.

Versions without a page of their own are read from the model code sellers put in the title. Where we have too few recorded sales of a version to quote one honestly, the column shows what sellers are asking for the ones up now instead. That is a hope, not a sale, and asking prices run above what things fetch. A dash means we have neither.
