Up for sale, a 2018 Tokai Vintage Series Breezysound model ATE-118 in showroom-clean, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This modern, Japanese-made iteration of Tokai’s T-tyle Breezysound platform faithfully captures ‘50s Tele aesthetics and tonalities, featuring an ash body, one-piece maple neck, and gloss Off White Blonde finish.
The tonewoods result in a chiming acoustic response with plenty of natural midrange detail and note attack, and this ATE-118 weighs 7lbs 6oz. The TE-Vintage MK3 single coil pickups deliver classic Tele-style tonalities: the bridge has a focused twang and punchy treble bite, and the neck yields a percussive, bell-like fullness without compromising overall clarity and articulation. This Breezysound ATE-118 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Off White Blonde finish reveals the uniform grain in the ash body, and there’s barely a scratch on the body as a whole save for some faint pick scuffing across the guard. The smooth gloss on the neck profile is flawless.
