Up for sale, a 1981 Tokai Breezysound model TE55-N in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. Crafted in Japan during the golden age of “lawsuit” era production, this Breezysound is Tokai’s take on Fender’s classic ‘50s-spec “Blackguard" Tele.
Traditional tonewoods include an ash body and a one-piece maple neck, and this TE55-N has a clear, ringing acoustic quality with a nice kick in the midrange. The single coils deliver quintessential Tele percussive cut and twang, with broader, smoother sounds at the neck and focused punch and sparkle at the bridge. This TE55-N weighs 7lbs 12oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
