There is a custom (or customized) Breezysound TE-80 (sticker on back of neck) on ebay that's up shortly:

It's got a bad neck from the description, and the seller won't sell outside the US, but it's got a curious paintjob--I guess a matter of taste if you like that sort of thing. It's sitting pretty low right now--someone might get a nice deal if they can fix or replace the neck.

Yeah .... saw that. A neck would be a quick fix.

I've seen that paint job before - can't remember if it was a limited edition, an artist edition or what... fairly traditional Japanese artwork - although I don't think the choice of colors are - looks like a Smurf warrior.

I think it's a famous wood block print of a scene from a Kabuki play--someone can correct me if I'm wrong...

That's kinda cool! Good job he only ships to the US or I might have been tempted.

Bargain or too expensive?

For a TE80 with a fancy paint job, maybe not a bad price - but you'll have to add the cost of a neck to that - provided you can find a Breezy neck (guess you could also buy an aftermarket neck from Allparts or Warmouth)

Too much for me.

A bit of routing in the neck pocket?

A bit of routing in the neck pocket?

Not if the neck has a twist like he described - if it is as he says, it's firewood.

 

[Nani]

I meant that I think the neck pocket has been routed - there are some rounded edges at the corners. So the neck and the body are both kind of shot!

 

[marcusnieman]

Yup...sure looks that way. Good eye.

A bargain!
It is the rare TTE100S Sharaku. Only a handful made in 1985
Toshusai Sharaku was a famous artist in Japan.

Early this year, on Japan Yahoo went one issue for JYen 180.000, if I remember right

It looks like that cheesy artwork you would have in your flat if you are a stockbroker in New York in 1987.

Maybe it's a different neck than the original.
