I've got the same , 1981 TE70.

 

[hendriks]

I toke another look and the headstock and decal are not the same.

 

[claudel]

The string tree is closer to the nut on yours, in between the "A" & "D" strings

On mine it's between the "D" & "G".

The decals are placed around the string trees.

Your headstock has the more traditional "F" style profile

Gotta love old school hand assembly, I guess...

@claudel, what finish does it have?

"Original" TEB pup and 1 piece body?

Neck pickup TE5? Probably also TEB.

 

[brokentoes]

Thats a real nice piece of lumber. Congrats !!

>> @claudel, what finish does it have?

Wine Red, I'd guess nitro, but I'm not 100% sure

>> "Original" TEB pup and 1 piece body?

Pretty sure it's all original. I've had it since the early/mid 90's and only changed out the controls a few months ago

>> Neck pickup TE5? Probably also TEB.

Not completely sure. That letter is smudged...

 

[felixcatus]

As far as I know, when all original both pups are either TEB or TEA.

I'm kind a surprised to find TEB pups in a one piece nitro finished body. I'm not saying that it's impossible, just surprised. :wink:

I think the neck is not 1981 , but later , 85 maybe. The serial is 1981. ?

As far as I know, that neck has always been with the rest of it...

I'd be surprised if it is a 1pc body
AFAIK, only TE-80 and above were ever 1 pc

 

[claudel]

If there are seams in the body, they're invisible...

Taking it to the Philly Guitar show today...

Tokai are very good at hiding them. :wink:
