1979 Tokai Les Paul Reborn
Just in! A gorgeous example of the amazing craftsmanship from 1970s Japan. Lawsuits and infringement aside, these guitars are known for being spectacular instruments with some little details that are oft overlooked by other copycats such as long neck tenon, and a proper 50s top carve. The gold top being rather *elusive* (we can't find many examples at all in this finish) makes it extra fun. It's mostly perfect on top, short of one blemish hiding under the pickguard. It appears perhaps to have been burned by a small drop of solder.
The guitar plays absolutely beautifully, so naturally it has its share of fret wear. However, you won't need to worry about getting any work done for a good little while; the tops are nicely crowned with only very light indentation below the 5th fret, and the height is good.
Everything appears original- aside from a strap button and the fact that its missing the poker chip for the selector. The pickups have your desirable fatty PAF chime, but with a little extra output over the late 50s style. There was a headstock break at some point. No worries! It was masterfully repaired, and does not affect play ability.
Includes gig bag.
