Tokai ATE-102R Vintage Natural Electric Guitar w/ Bag Made in Japan

The Tokai ATE-102R Vintage Natural is a masterfully handcrafted TE-style electric guitar, hand-built in Japan with meticulous attention to detail. Its ash body and one-piece maple neck, finished with a thin gloss lacquer, offer a balanced, resonant tone and effortless playability with a nice vintage feel. The rosewood fingerboard, with medium jumbo frets and a comfortable 9.5″ radius, ensures smooth navigation for players of all styles.

Aesthetically, the Vintage Natural gloss lacquer finish is a true standout, complemented by nickel hardware and a 4-ply tortoise shell color pickguard. This refined look is matched by vintage-inspired features, including a Tokai TE-VB bridge and Gotoh SD91 tuners, ensuring both reliability and authenticity. The truss rod adjustment nut is conveniently located at the headstock, allowing quick and hassle-free adjustments without the need to remove the neck during setup.

At the heart of its sound, Gotoh TL-Classic_α pickups deliver the iconic, bright, and twangy tones that define the TE-style guitar. With a balanced response and a touch of punch, these pickups shine in any setting, from clean, articulate leads to gritty, driven rhythms.

Designed with performance and elegance in mind, the ATE-102 features a medium U-shaped neck profile for a natural feel, bone nut for optimal string resonance and durability, and a durable gloss lacquer finish that not only enhances its beauty but protects the instrument for years to come.

Whether you’re a seasoned performer or an aspiring guitarist, the Tokai ATE-102 combines timeless design, impeccable craftsmanship, and versatile sound to inspire every note you play.
