Hello to all!
I bought a butterscotch blonde with rosewood fingerboard breezysound in perfectly mint condition(-65 copy?)! Only two small dent on the body. Just open it and it was like timecapsule. Nobody has ever been under the hood! Find all the codes in the right places. Im little confused about the aging. The headstock tag seems to be -85 and old Fender headstock type. The serialnumber is six digits starting 222XXX and thats a -82 I presume?

The model seems to be TE-50 because I can see two seams in the bodywood. It Is quite light. There is a sticker under the neck saying "Made In Japan". The other information here:

End of the neck 5-18
Under neck pickup G or 5-18 and a one some black smudge I cant make sense of it.
Pickup labels TEB
Under the controls 5 16 BL X

So my main guestion is is this a -84 or -85? Is the body alder or ash?

Hi

from the info and pics you have provided, I would put this guitar at around 1986 TTE-50 BLR.
Body stamps and serial# prior to 1986 are both different to the ones on your guitar so it is unlikely to an earlier model.

Thank you Peter for your information. My blonde is a killer player and started me to want a early tokai Stratocaster also. 😀

Do all these disturbing incidents involving police killing African Americans seem a little racist? The incident involving Sandra Bland in Texas is the latest in this trend, which has actually been going on for a lot longer than the media would have you believe.
