I have an early-80s Japanese Tokai Silver Star - does anyone know whether the pick-ups on it will be much different to those on a Fender Strat? I mean different in a way that you can hear immediately?

As Tokai went to great lengths to replicate the original pickups exactly I very much doubt you would hear any difference. I seem to remember reading somewhere that they got the polarity wrong but that won't matter unless you mix Tokai with Fender on the same guitar.
