Up for sale, a circa 1984 Tokai Breezysound left-handed model TTE60 in exceptional, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Crafted in Japan, this Tokai is a high-quality take on the classic Fender Telecaster platform.
The traditional tonewood complement comprises an ash body and a one-piece maple neck, and this TTE60 weighs 7lbs 15oz. The original pair of single coil pickups feature black bobbins and cloth-covered leads; 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 TTE60 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and spot-on intonation.

The gloss Natural finish has just enough ambering to present as a faithful early '50s-style Butterscotch, and cosmetic wear is limited to a few small nicks along the lower bout perimeter and central to the back, and just one small ding on top adjacent to the bridge. The smooth gloss on the neck profile is flawless.
A gigbag is included.
