Thanks! It's a Tokai Breezy Sound TTE70 made in the 80s

The only major issue is sombody removed the decal on the headstock. What should I put on?

Fucking own it. It is what it is. Make no changes.
That's what I would do.
Are you happy with how she plays/sounds?

Thanks! I haven't gotten it yet. It is coming UPS. I have wanted one for a long time. I made a thread about this one 4 years ago (Link)

I saw a black paisley Fender Japanese tele and almost messed my pants. I LOVE paisley.

Thanks! Think I should put a Tokai or Fender decal on it?

Would go with Tokai if anything, but I like the way it looks blank.

That's how The Colonel rolls: plainclothes

Very interesting

I found a place that sells the Tokai decals

I'd go with the Tokai Breezy decal. You see Fender guitars every day.
How often do you see a Tokai Breezy?
Personally, I'd rather have an Ibanez Rocket Roll Sr. than a Gibson Flying V. If that makes sense.

even if it was a fender it would be better to put a tokai decal on it just for laffs

Oh that's lovely - seem to remember this is one of Aen's dream guitars. Let me know how light it is when it comes.

Heard very good things about these old Tokai teles. Looks like a hairdresser's shirt but each to their own.

Ditto, but I'd say that as a compliment here! Very nice guitar, so congrats again.

Deffo Tokai decal. And you can be confident that a breezy sound was better than the USA std teles of the same time.

i love the breezy sound and springy sound -- so much cooler than "twang" and "quack"

Tokai for sure.
