1980 Tokai Breezysound TE-50 T-Style Custom Double Bound Vintage Guitar Sunburst w/ Case, Japan

Up for sale, a 1980 Tokai Breezysound model TE-50 in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. Crafted in Japan and loaded with Tokai's then newly developed "TE Hot" pickups, this guitar is a high-quality take on the classic Fender Telecaster Custom platform, blending 1950s and '60s spec with a double-bound ash body and one-piece maple neck. Via the single coil pickup pair, there's plenty of sparkle and snap on tap, with a bell-like clarity and percussive cut at the neck and chewy, throaty twang at the bridge. This TE-50 weighs 7lbs 4oz, benefiting from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
