Bought in the early 2000s direct from Japan, this see-through blonde is the oldest Tokai I have left. It's gorgeous, but the number of times I pick up a Tele is so infrequent, that it's a waste to have it sitting doing nothing.
Spec - as far as I know - is: Sen (ash) body) nitro lacquer, brazilian rosewood fingerboard. Neck appears to be a C-profile - quite a handful. I think the bridge has been swapped out (there's a Tokai-stamped Tele bridge in the case.
Pickup(s) might be potted - I will undo the scratchplate and strings to photograph the innards ASAP.
'101nnnn' serial number dates to 1981. There are a small dings on the body edge, and a few small marks on the back of the body.
It does need a setup. Strings are rattling a little.
Price: £850 + shipping. Includes the rectangular hard case shown.
NOW SOLD.
