1980 Tokai Love Rock LS-50 Cherry Burst w/ Double Cream Gotoh Pickups, Gigbag


For Sale, we have this stunning 1980 Tokai Love Rock LS-50, a timeless piece of craftsmanship straight from Japan’s golden age of guitar making. Known for rivaling vintage Gibson Les Pauls, this Love Rock model captures that vintage mojo with its rich cherry burst finish and top-tier build quality. Outfitted with double cream DiMarzio-inspired pickups by Gotoh, it delivers classic, punchy tones with great clarity. The guitar has been meticulously set up for buttery smooth playability, making it a rock machine ready for stage or studio.

This Tokai is in great shape for its age, with some honest signs of playwear that give it character. There are lacquer cracks on the back of the neck and light wear marks on the fingerboard, but nothing that affects playability. The frets have been dressed, crowned, and polished to perfection, ensuring smooth bends and effortless fretting. The electronics are clean and crackle-free, with all controls working flawlessly. The action is dialed in low and fast, making it ready for the stage or studio straight out of the gate 

This LS-50 model embodies everything collectors and players love about Tokai’s early 1980s offerings. With a comfortable neck profile, vintage-style hardware, and that unmistakable Les Paul resonance, it’s no wonder Tokai guitars have become highly sought after. Whether you’re chasing those creamy blues tones or looking to rip through a rock solo, this Tokai Love Rock won’t disappoint. Includes a stylish faux-leather gigbag for easy transportation. An authentic piece of guitar history, ready to be the crown jewel of your collection!
