Tokai breezysound

[rennsemmel]

Hey guys, got these two beautiful Tokai breezysound from my uncle's collection.

Unfortunately one does not have a serial number - I guess the backplate was exchanged at some point, from what I found on the internet I guess it is a TTE60 from after 82 as this color did not appear in the catalogs before.

The red one, I am not sure about the Model. It has the serial number: 20282 so it must be from before 82 right? The pickups on that one seem to have been exchanged.

Can you give me more info on what I got here and also help me what these guitars are worth? Friend of mine would be interested in buying one from me, as I only want to keep one.

The brown one is a TTE60TM. Circa 1985.

The red one looks like a TTE70WR circa 1984, but hard to pin down without the serial number or pics showing the pots which may have been replaced.

For the red one, I actually have the serial number 20282. Assuming that is still the original backplate on the guitar

Yep. That 5 digit serial number type tells us it was made between 1982 and 1986.

The script logo decal on Breezys first appears in early to mid 1983.

It is not so clear where exactly it would fit in that time frame (1983-1986).

I would guess 1984/85 based on the number.

Fender style numbering system introduced Feb 1982.

Here is something interesting.

The same guitar with a non offending head stock (ATE) with a serial number that is close to yours.
