My assumption was that the two colour SB body came from one of the MIJ 50s Teles, with the neck from a 60s Tele. Mine has what seems to be a 3 piece ash body, beautifully joined. So the serial number on this guitar is a mystery to me. It doesn't have a serial number, & none of the others I have seen did either. I bought a Breezy TE50 from Rockem on eBay in 2010. I did wonder if they were going to be a limited batch, & therefore quite rare, but that doesn't seem to be the case. But they still seem to be around, so my theory seems to be incorrect. My assumption at the time was that Tokai had assembled them from parts left over from the Fender Japan contract & just re-badged them. Around 2010 MIJ Tokais with the Fender headstock shape started appearing for sale on a couple of internet sites in the UK. As far as I can make out, Tokai made some of the Fender Japan guitars for a period of about 10 years, ending some time around 2007/8. I can't tell if his Breezy was MIJ or not, but overall discussion is interesting re: Fujigen & Fender. This is a great opportunity to get your hands on a great playing Strat for the price you want. It includes the Fender G&G case you see in the photos. Just setup - the neck is straight, the frets are clean, and the action is set to just about 3/32" at the 12th fret. It's in next to mint condition as you can see in all the photos. Shimmering chords, excellent note articulation.
The pickups grab up this excellent Strat tone and you'd swear you're playing a Fender. This Goldstar Sound Strat is nothing short of awesome.īathed in a beautiful 3-tone sunburst finish. Tokai is well known for their attention to detail and quality workmanship. This is a 2009 Tokai Japan Goldstar Sound Sunburst Guitar.
Hey now! You're looking at a super cool guitar.
