Tokai TEA-80D Florentine Cutaway 1989 Gloss Black Acoustic Electric Guitar Japan

This vintage Tokai TEA-80D acoustic-electric guitar delivers a stunning blend of premium Japanese craftsmanship and sleek late-eighties performance styling. Masterfully constructed in Japan during the golden era of the Tokai workshops, this rare model features a striking Florentine cutaway body shape accented by an elegant oval soundhole configuration and multi-ply cream binding. Dressed in a deep gloss black finish across the top, sides, and matching headstock, this instrument serves up an incredibly focused, warm acoustic voice that transitions flawlessly to amplified performance via its factory onboard active preamp system.

As a premium vintage instrument curated directly for our shop, this piece remains in excellent overall condition, earning a solid eight-point-five out of ten cosmetic rating. The glossy finish displays only minor surface swirling, light handling marks, and tiny edge nicks consistent with careful milestone use over the decades. The rosewood fingerboard features distinctive diamond inlays and a custom twelfth-fret marker, with a healthy fret rating of eight out of ten showing light, even wear across the highly accessible twenty-four-point-seventy-five inch short scale register. The active electronics have been fully inspected, the dual side knobs operate cleanly without static, and the structure is entirely stable.

Purchasing this rare performance acoustic from our physical inventory means you bypass the classic headaches of international customs delays, unpredictable import tariff conversions, and risky transoceanic shipping. Our workshop has completely cleaned the control pots, detailed the fingerboard timber, polished the sealed chrome tuners, and set the guitar up with a fresh set of strings for immediate playability right out of the box. The guitar comes safely protected inside a premium padded acoustic gig bag equipped with generous accessory pockets and durable shoulder transport straps.
