Tokai ATE-80 Breezysound review anyone?

[MrBlues]

Hello dear Tokai forumers!

Fresh meat here, I recently bougth a new Tokai ATE-80 Breezysound in olympic white colour. That was the last one mohican at the dealer, and I really wanted one.

I payed it forward, but didnt get the axe yet, I am waiting her so much... But the cause why I write this topic is that I cant find any reviews of these models. I was also looking for it on this forum but nothing I found.

I only found on the net that this model has not a traditional telecaster build.

If anyone has one, give me a review of this axe, I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance, and take care,

MrBlues

Hi Hamamatsu!

Sorry for my delayed answer, but the website didnt allow me to log in many times. I also failed to upload pics, neither allowed me the website to upload links. It said that I am a spammer...

Nevermind, I got the axe. I was mistaken, its a Tokai ATE-88 Breezysound. MAde in Japan of course. It looks beautiful, plays beautiful, sounds like a craaazy telecaster, it has THE sound. I am truly impressed by the finish, the parts, the pickup. Everything is just wonderful, and amazing.

If you can tell me how to upload pics here, I will do it to share this beauty with You guys

8) this ATE88 has the 21 frets!

8) it seems like tokai made their vintage series fender type replicas/copies with both the 21 or 22 frets depending on the year they made those guitars. i checked the recent tokai japan catalogs and certainly the both 21/22 fret types exist on almost all the models.
