The strange thing is that I can not see any stamp on the body, or I might not look the right place. Try the control cavity. (and let no one tell you they 'always' have to match, they could but 'don't have to' match for a Tokai neck and body to be original!) :wink: Can any one tell me the precise ye...

In Belgium it is still somewhat of a niche brand, but last decade or so the recognition for their craftsmanship and quality seem to show a 'rising' trend.

Hi and welcome.

Breezy is a fine choice, one of my favorite.

or point me to a thread.

Found one, viewtopic.php?f=10&t=12931

Thanks felixcatus for the reply. can you tell me a bit more about the "special order" or point me to a thread. Did they also come with original headstock and spaghetti logo? This is where I get confused. Thanks! Pretty sure TOGPS had some new 'Springy logo' ST100-57.. etc. made around 2010 or later...

Those parts in your photo look more like one of the 'special order' Springy models from a few years ago?

As in that catalogue photo, ST (Springy's) pickups description, "type A is a hand made exact alloy reproduction of a 1954 single coil unit. Type B is a production model of the same pickup." I understand that as, 'hand wound' and 'machine wound', at least? And maybe it's the same with the Breezy's TE...

Congrats, and welcome to the forum.

PS it is from the second half of 1980. '70' model number should have TEA pickups (lower numbered models have TEB), I think? My breezy has got a TEB pickups :-? Could you tell me whats the difference between.? I'm slightly sad. https://preview.ibb.co/gen5Rk/Tokai-ST-Series-catalog-description.jpg Po...

Thanks. Brass nut is original for a 1980 TE80, my 1978 ST100 also originally had a brass nut.

Felixcatus, Do you have some photo of your 80th breezy? Please show this thing. Okay :wink: https://preview.ibb.co/i4E8Eb/20171201-114614-2.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/m5qpNF/16.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/nAGkwa/19.jpg https://i.ibb.co/CvLyvGZ/16-2.jpg (one piece body, 'V' neck, nitro finish, TEA pi...

My (early)1980 TE80 is nitro finish.

Very nice, congrats. And very cool seeing these, 'before', photos

Hi welcome to the forum. Very nice Breezy , congrats.

PS it is from the second half of 1980. '70' model number should have TEA pickups (lower numbered models have TEB), I think? Oh, and also 1(piercing )Meg tone pot. Bridge can be original.

Hi guys, Good to hear the books finally arrived at their destinations. There were a few hiccups with the postal service to USA and Europe but they were solved. My personal thanks to the 2 members who volunteered their time to forward the books on in order to help me keep pricing down. Hope this hel...
