Yes, it's too far away, and it has humbuckers - what more do you need to know? :-?
Seriously though, the whole point of a Tele is that amazing sound from the bridge pickup - if you don't have that, why bother with a Tele? If you want humbuckers, you have a choice of LP (one of which you already have....), SG, 335 type etc. etc.
Just my opinion, for what it's worth.

:lol:
No I complete I agree with you mate. I certainly wouldn't buy it in the hope of it doing the job of a tele. I just like unusual guitars (aesthetically if nothing else).
P.S. I was outbid on your Tokai tele the other day. Bugger! :x

OK, fair enough, & I see where you're coming from. Now, a Tele with P90s might be interesting though.....
Yeah, I didn't do too well with that grey Breezy of mine - I paid too much for it when I bought it, so I lost about ?70 on that deal. All part of life's learning process, I guess - you win some, you lose some. :-?

Too bad about the loss on the Tokai. I know the feeling; I'm too brash with buying and selling gear... end up making losses far too often.
Now if you want to sell me that C.A.R finish Tele of yours, I could give you a fair deal. :wink:

I doubt if you could Sam! I've owned that since new in 1989, it's an A series Fender Japan, & it has many, many memories! It even has a new, hand made, nitro finished neck, modelled on my 86 Strat, as the old one was damaged. So I doubt if you could offer me enough to make me part with that one - that's a keeper, and has been for nearly 20 years.

Ah I see. In that case, I wouldn't want to anyway; sentimental value is one of the many great things about guitars, and it sounds like that one has a load already. Wouldn't want to rob anyone of that.
Anyway, SOMEONE must know something about this Tokai (if it is the genuine article). Anyone seen one before?

I think the sellers feedback and other items they are selling is always a good indication. I know nothing about the tele but I am certain it will be genuine and just as described.

by the way my Fernandes is quite heavy, getting into Les Paul weight. Plays great, sounds the same and it`s the only one I`ve seen for sale on the web over here. Finish has sunk into the wood so the grain is coming through. It has a brass nut, saddles and bridgeblock. Love the guitar and have teles for that twang when I want it, but sometimes it`s fun to have something out of the ordinary...a tele with a trem.

I saw that tele too and have asked the seller for more info. I'm not interested in buying it, but I have a very similar strat (see vintage forum - the post about the coil splitter).
I don't know an awful lot but from the info on here, I don't think it's from 1981 as the logo is 1984ish.
I really like my strat, but I'm not an afficionado by any means!
