So what's the general consensus on these,were they better than the standard breezy,s etc and how do they compare in price from the same year strats/teles
 
Depends on which model you are talking about. Many of them were budget models. Basically a marketing technique in my opinion.

SN 12545 ?

2 knob

Possibly a partscaster?

Low serial number for one of these.

Wish I could see it more clearly and that we had body & neck codes.

SN 0096

This one is a head scratcher.

It is a Tokai Custom Edition guitar, so it would date to around the period that the Fender style serial numbers ended, but it has a 4 digit Fender style number that is very low.

Ordinarily this would have been an early 1982 serial number used on a guitar with a maple '54 V neck, so this seems very odd.
