A recent purchase of an expensive Breezy means that this baby has to go.

As far as I know, it's from the 1980s, & it must be post 1983 as it has the newer type of decal. Correct Fender headstock shape though, much nicer than the later "modified" shape. There are the usual small knocks & dings you get on nearly all guitars that are 20+ years old, though nothing major. There is slight shadowing between the bridge & the bottom strap button from what must have been a small square sticker on the body, long since gone. However I can't get the camera to pick it up. All in all, it seems to have led quite an easy life, so far.
The rosewood board is typical 1980s Tokai - dark, oily & gorgeous - you don't get rosewood as good as this on any modern guitars that I have seen, including Custom Shop Fenders. There is some fret wear, but not enough to bother me (and I'm fussy), but it's even wear with no grooving. The action is medium/low with 10-52 strings. It sounds great & it probably plays like butter, but I've never played butter so I wouldn't know....
The pickups measure 7.31 (B) & 6.14 (N), & it weighs 8 pounds 3 ounces, or 3720g.
Both the 1987 & 1985 catalogues suggest this is a TE50:
Alder body
Maple neck
Rosewood fingerboard
TE Vintage Mk II pickups
Tokai stamped 6 saddle bridge
Deluxe tuners
It comes with the lightweight hard case in the pics - not immaculate, but it does the job & will protect the guitar in transit. I'm asking what it cost me - ?375 including the case, postage to be charged at cost. Please contact me for a shipping quote. Overseas shipping is possible, & so is personal collection in London. I will briefly be in the Wolverhampton/Birmingham area early Wednesday evening or Thursday morning (this week), if that's any help.
If you want any more information or any more pics, let me know.
