An odd beast, but heaps of fun!
This started life as a 1984 Japanese Tokai Breezysound Telecaster copy, and not a huge amount remains of that. The body finish has been stripped back, additional curves and contours have been added, and then a smooth oil finish has been applied. The logo has also been removed from the headstock. These are not the original pickups, and are believed by the original owner to be nice handwound replacements, however there are no markings to indicate the brand, so it's anyone's guess as this knowledge has been lost to time! They've been changed to a 'Nashville' style setup, with a Telecaster bridge pickup, and two additional single coils wired to a 5-way switch, to cover a wide range of tones: from Tele twang, to Strat quack. They do sound wonderful. The bridge pickup has all that classic Tele character - loud, twangy, aggressive and full, whilst the other two have plenty of fullness and bite. They don't sound cheap!
The other most noticeable change is that the stock bridge has been swapped out for a Washburn Wonderbar 2001 surface mount vibrato unit - an 80's Tremolo unit designed to retrofit to almost any guitar, without routing work. It works spectacularly well, with excellent tuning stability, and a big pitch range for all your divebombs and squealies.
This is a super versatile, unique, great playing and sounding Tele, and an absolute steal at this price!
