Up for sale, a 1982 Tokai Breezysound TE-60 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This rare, non-catalog HH iteration of the Breezysound platform (Tokai’s take on the Telecaster) was produced in Japan, virtually unseen both inside and outside of its country of origin. Unique features include a pair of PAF-style humbuckers, a six-point Strat-style vibrato, a deep belly contour, and a Black gloss finish with matching headstock.

Tonewoods include an ash body and maple neck capped by a rosewood fretboard, and this guitar has a clear, cutting acoustic sound with midrange authority, qualities channeled faithfully via the stock pair of PAF-style humbuckers. The pickups are dynamically responsive and articulate, with warm, spongy low end and a singing treble register, ideal for detailed cleans and rich overdrive alike. This Breezysound weighs 7lbs 14oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action and accurate intonation.

Cosmetic wear on the gloss Black finish is limited to a handful of minor dings and chips along the body perimeter, an area of buckle rash on the back adjacent to the belly contour, and a few faint finish scratches in the clear coat on the body as a whole. The smooth gloss finish on the neck profile is flawless.
