Product Details
________________________________

This Les Paul-style guitar continues to receive high praise both domestically and internationally for its level of perfection, surpassing the original. Tokai's clear concept of "perfectly replicating the old Gibson Les Paul" goes beyond simply recreating the exterior, encompassing every detail—woodwork, structure, and texture. The body structure, including the boring process, and the beautiful curves of the body and headstock are impressive. From the tuning machines, bridge, and fret edge treatments to even the individual screws, the meticulous reproduction of the original Les Paul is truly impressive. The guitar is equipped with DiMarzio "PAF" pickups, a choice that combines vintage style with modern output balance and clarity.

The finished product, the result of tireless effort and extensive testing, goes beyond the realm of a "replica."
A level of perfection that surpasses the old, achieved only through a deep understanding of the original.
Tokai has brought to the world in this era the "ultimate old copy."
The reason it continues to fascinate so many fans today lies in everything from the sound to the construction and the concept.

This unit is a 1981 LS120 Love Rock.
Weighing in at approximately 4.55kg, it's a slightly heavy instrument, but the low-mids are very rich, and even when distorted, the sound image isn't crushed, maintaining a solid core.
In the rear position, it produces powerful, edgy riffs, while in the front position it produces a thick, glossy, and alluring lead sound.
This is a guitar that will really capture the hearts of players who want to enjoy the guitar's true sound by connecting it directly to an amp.

The neck has a slightly thin grip, and is designed so that there is no excessive taper even when playing in the higher positions.
It's also extremely playable, and its appeal lies not only in its appearance and philosophy, but also in its "playable vintage" nature. Tokai Les Paul-style guitars are often described as "cheap back in the day," but their intrinsic value continues to be recognized by overseas collectors and players. This guitar is steadily moving toward the next stage as a Japanese vintage masterpiece that Japan can be proud of.
