Crafted in Japan, this guitar is a faithful, high-quality take on the classic Fender Tele platform, visually evoking the Rosewood Telecaster with a six-saddle bridge, three-ply black pickguard, and a dark gloss Walnut finish on both the body and neck.The tonewood complement comprises an ash body, maple neck, and rosewood fretboard, yielding a balanced, clear acoustic response. 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 TE50 weighs 8lbs 2oz, professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and spot-on intonation.The maple neck has a medium C-shaped profile carve with generous shoulders and lightly rolled fretboard edges, measuring .845” deep at the 1st fret and .950” at the 12th. The rosewood fretboard has a vintage-spec 7 1\/4“ radius, and the slender fretwire is nigh flawless, benefitting from a light level and crown. This guitar plays cleanly up the 25 1\/2“ scale with a straight neck and a responsive, optimally-adjusted truss rod, and the bone nut measures 1 11\/16” in width. The matching headstock has its practically perfect spaghetti script \"Tokai\" waterslide decal, and the single-line Kluson-style tuning machines turn smoothly and hold accurate pitch.On the body, the stock electronics work as they should, with untouched solder joints, full-size pots and cloth-covered pickup leads. The pickups are governed by a three-way pickup selector switch and Master Volume and Tone knobs. Chrome-plated hardware includes the dome-topped knobs, control plate, and “Tokai”-stamped six-saddle bridge.The gloss Walnut finish is dark and rich, and cosmetic wear is limited to a few minor chips along the body perimeter and a handful of faint scratches in the clear coat on the back. The gloss finish on the neck profile is pristine.The original Tokai-branded faux leather gigbag is included.","brand":"Tokai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44122638975232,"sku":"1022987","price":1449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4437\/4714\/products\/medium_f1e03a9a-ef52-4ff6-94da-0d1fc9916c94.jpg?v=1751554866","url":"https:\/\/mmguitarbar.com\/products\/1981-tokai-breezysound-te50-vintage-t-style-guitar-w-walnut-finish-japan","provider":"Mike \u0026 Mike's Guitar Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
