About the Tokai Goldstar Sound TST-60
The TST-60 is the 60 grade of the Goldstar Sound Stratocaster (1983-86), and the difference from the 50 grade is in two places: hand-wound E-stamped pickups instead of the machine-wound U set, and a thin-skin polyurethane finish under a top coat instead of thick polyester, the wood and the gloss neck are the same. It carries the Deluxe-stamped tuners of the 60 grade and up and offered more colours than the 50, including white. The neck is Tokai's slim U, which feels like a slim C (Tokai never used the word C; V was reserved for the 80 grade and up), though the 1984 catalogue lists a one-piece maple V neck for the TST60-BB 1951 model at 60,000 yen, and owners describe soft V and chunky examples too, the necks were hand-shaped. It came as a 54 with the button string tree or as a 57, 62 or 64. Tokai built the same guitar for other names: a 1982 Bradley and a 1985 Grandy are TST-60s with different decals. Owners date theirs from 1982 to 1985. Dating: trust the switch and pot date codes and the matching body and neck stamps, not the online charts, which are often wrong; a four-digit serial around 2261 is a 1983 TST-60; plastic-insulated pickup wire is correct on early E and U pickups, cloth arriving in 1982-83.

Price history
Every recorded sale, one point each: 13 of them, placed by the day the ad went up. Too few sales to draw a trend through them without inventing one, so the points speak for themselves. Condition is mixed, so some of the spread is a mint against a fair rather than the market moving.

What owners have said elsewhere
Paraphrased from 18 discussion threads among 15 owners, 2022-2026. No names, nothing quoted.
The TST-60 is prized for its E-stamped pickups and its neck: one owner's all-original 1984-85 has stayed untouched because the pickups sound great, another's tobacco burst has kept a vintage Fender Strat in the closet for nineteen years, and a collector who ranks a 1982 Fullerton 57 first puts the ST-80 and TST-60 straight after it, the ST-60 called a money maker with a neck bound to be fantastic. The caveats are those of any 1950s-style Strat: the 7.25 in radius will choke bends above the twelfth fret unless the setup is right, the low-output pickups are not to every taste, and a 1970s-style Silver Star at the same grade is in no way an inferior guitar, Tokai priced the SS-60, ST-60 and TST-60 alike.
