1979 Tokai TE-85 telecaster, pretty much top of the range from the golden years of Japanese production. 1 piece Sen ash body, maple neck with medium profile, brass nut.
These are very rare - I have only ever seen 2 on Japanese eBay and have bought them both! This one has seen a lot of action as shown by the playwear on the fingerboard but is in great condition and plays great. Mainly selling due to baby on the way
My upgrades have been:
Professional re-fret and setup
Fender nickel 3-saddle bridge installed (original brass one included)
Copper-foil lining to cavities to reduce electrical interference
The guitar is otherwise all original with pickups, electronics etc.
Serial number: 9005392
Asking for £850 (listed in eBay for more due to 10% fees)
Collection only from Bristol / South West of the UK. Comes with soft case. Can post if needed...
