(and dont say a fender telecaster
)Thinking with all the binding etc its a 60's one....
Anyone know the model too?
I have really struggled to find any info out about this, it doesnt even appear in any catalogues!
Can anyone help me identify what my breezy is based on?

Have a look at the thread "Tokai Tele TE-70" under Vintage, there's a discussion there about a similar guitar. The body is a copy of a Telecaster Custom that Fender introduced in 1959, but they all had rosewood boards, apart from a few special orders. To me the bound body looks wrong with a maple board, but it appears that some people like the look.

That's a recently made TE-55
I have a rosewood necked version - excellent tele for the money
Yours looks great

Sorry! Maple with the bound body just looks wrong to me
I'm sure they're great guitars, but not for me. I'm not a big fan of maple boards at the best of times.

It's unlikely that I would. I did buy a Goldie with a maple neck, but I'd much rather have a rosewood one. The only maple board Strat I've ever been comfortable playing is my ESP Series 400, they have a much thinner satin finish lacquer, the thick high gloss finish on the Tokais (and most Fenders) isn't really to my taste.
It's a good job we're all different Kaze! Enjoy your Breezy, it doesn't matter in the slightest what I think. :lol:

@stratman323 Hey, please be nice to our Breezys with binding and maple neck!
I reckon its got to be an ATE-70
although its still a mystery!
I've really warmed to the binding, to be honest I've wanted to tokai tele for ages and this one just came up at a local shop, and I had to have it.
