Thanks for your help! It's for sale rather than in my hands, so I just have the pics to go off unfortunately. Have an '83 te50, but not sure if this one's worth the "upgrade" as it's a cleaner example compared to mine.

Hi all, the seller claims it's a TE50. Judging by the logo and serial I'd guess it's a 1984? Curious about the finish, I haven't seen many pics of two tone burst TE50s, though the 3 piece body would suggest that it is a TE50?

Just an update on this, I've cleaned the guitar up and gave it a set up. It's one of the best playing guitars I've had - currently have this and my '62 hot rod strat. Playability of the tokai is probably on par with the strat, though feels a bit different with the rounder fretboard radius.

Thank you! Removed the crusty old shielding foil. Body is marked 12-3MR Z Assuming MR stands for metallic red.

Well, I got it (sight unseen). Smells terrible, but plays great! Few pics. Been foil shielded inside, but the TEB pickups would suggest it's a TE50? Colour is metallic red. Genuine kluson deluxe machine heads.

I've come across a few of the rosewood version in red of that year and with the same bridge! Wonder if it was a special order colour for the maple board model? Neither the 82 or 84 catalogues have the te50 with a maple board in red from what I can see.

Hi, wondering if anyone knows the model? I'm assuming it's a TE50 based on the 6 saddle bridge, and an '83 based on the logo, but I can't seem to find any '83 breezy sounds with that bridge and that colour, neck and logo combo. Serial is 11305. Seller has it listed as an '82 and says he bought...
