Pretty close.. I want a blue flower with white pickguard. But this is AMAZING as well.

Thanks! Tokai made a copy of the blue flower tele too

Along with a jazzblaster variant, a paisley tele is my holy grail. That one looks a beauty. Blue would work too.
I'd not arse with a decal but hey ho

The blue ones are very rare. I don't know how many they made in total but a friend told me when they exported these guitar to Australia in the 80's they sent 24 red ones and 8 blue.

Here is a Breezy Sound like mine in this vid

That bloke from The Wombats has one (admittedly minus the white guard). U JELLY!?

I can't look at paisley teles without being reminded of The Wombats. Makes me sad.

Truth.

I remember eyeing up a Breezy-sound in a shop when Tokais were just starting to make a name for themselves, cos of this:



Brix's may well have been a US original, though. Years later I swithered over a MIJ Fender Blue Flower that was going for £250 new and when I decided to go for it it was gone. that's one I still kick myself about - especially as one just like it turned up on Gumtree recently for £800 or something.

Anyhoo, those Breezy-sounds appear to have a dynamite sound - sure you'll dig it.

Thanks! Wow,I think I used to have that record on pink vinyl.

Tokai display at trade show.

That's how The Colonel rolls: plainclothes

Oh my!!! Sorry to detract from your thread, WTR but OH MY!!!

Yeah,that's Hot! Is it a Breezy or a Tele?

A couple of months after I bought my Fender Tele, there was a blue paisley one in the same shop. I kicked myself for not holding back for a couple of months!

I'm like a fuckin Jelly Roll right now.

Check it out!

What's that pink shit around the pickup?

You've got a pair of sexy lawsuits on your hands, mister!
And my white tele is Allparts '62 RI neck and bridge assembly + MIM Standard arctic body + AVRI pickups.

lol@ Nick, I always notice the pink shit around the pickup on paisley teles and think of this place... the pickguard is clear so it's to mask the pickup cavity.

Yes,it looks like portion of the pickguard surrounding the neck pickup was painted or dyed so that a pink fog obscures the pickup rout.Very trippy!
