2020s Tokai/BloomDoom Partscaster Hardtail Strat-Style Electric Guitar

Overview: This thing is all kinds of cool. It's got an older (Japanese) Tokai Goldstar Sound neck mated to a BloomDoom, hardtail, Strat-style body with a relic'd metallic purple finish. It glows beautifully and strangely in person and the crackle in the finish is just-so excellent.


To this has been added a premium Spitfire celluloid pickguard, Callaham "vintage style" hardtail bridge, a quality wiring harness, cute knobs, and a pair of nice pickups. It has a Duncan mini-humbucker at the neck with the neat S logo and a Lollar El Rey humbucker at the bridge. Does it sound awesome? I mean, of course! It's got plenty of sparkle, too. I was surprised at how nice and clean and clear the high-end is on this guy.


So, yes -- vintagey-feeling in the neck, rawky-good in the sound, and with killer looks -- a win!


Repairs included: I gave this a very light level/dress of the frets and set it up. It's playing spot-on and ready to serve.

Condition notes: It's a partscaster and the body is relic'd so it does have plenty of weather-check/small scratching/etc. to the finish. The neck is in surprisingly-good shape and feels great. All of the hardware appears new and/or relic'd new.


It comes with: As I recall, this has a gigbag.
