*** BOTH GUITARS NOW SOLD THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST ***

I'm gassing like mad for something Les Paul Special shaped so it's time to make some rash decisions.

Up for sale is my 1984 Tokai Breezysound Tele that's had a colourful life

• Black with Rosewood fingerboard
• It was stripped from red at some point in its life, had two bevels cut into it (leg and arm) and refinished in black
• Neck pickup is a Lindy Fralin
• Bridge pickup is an Oil City broadcaster pickup with 43awg wire (more mids)
• Professionally refretted by Leon at Grizzly Guitars, the frets are medium jumbo and brand new
• The frets were completely worn down when I got this, it was a regular gigging guitar for the previous owner and well loved
• Extremely comfortable neck, it feels slightly asymmetrical
• Schaller locking strap buttons (original buttons included)
• Original neck pickup included stamped TEB with one of the wires missing
• Non-original hardcase

It looks battered but it is completely functional and well set up.  Hard to value given its history, but I will say £450 posted.  Good way to get on the JV train on a budget, with decent pups




And lastly for fun here I am with the Tele on Halloween 2010:




*** NOW SOLD *** Gretsch Electromatic G5435TG-BLK-LTD16

• Professionally set up with 11s by Regent Guitars in Denmark Street

Bump Gretsch now sold

Hi mate what radius is the neck?  Also I can't see the bevels very clearly, do you have a side on picture which shows how much has been taken off?

Thanks

Hi @munckee, it's not particularly round or flat so my guess is that it's in the 9.5" range.  I have no way to measure this though.  The frets are medium jumbo so it's definitely a modern feel.

The bevels are difficult to photograph but I've done my best here:

Thanks for the photo, not sure I could get used to the bevel but will think about it while I hopefully sell my tele.  The rest of the guitar looks fantastic though, stick a tortoise shell guard on would look even better!
