The Tokai Goldstar is a made-in-Japan (MIJ), solid body, bolt-on neck guitar with 22 frets, 25.5" scale-length, and premium Japanese hardware and Japanese-made Gotoh pickups.

What we think of the SSS Goldstar: A vintage appointed electric 6-string with a distinct Hendrix vibe given its off-white finish on white pickguard. Perfect for players who prefer classic S-Style guitars but want the smooth experience of Japanese craftsmanship and premium components. The sonic range available via the 5-way toggle opens the door to rich tones from jazz to classic rock and beyond. If you're looking for a more modern option with a flashier tremolo: check out the HSS version of the Goldstar!
