The domestic long-established brand TOKAI’s “Premium Series” features high-spec models produced in Japan. The model that has arrived this time is based on the 1958-style LP type "LS196" with a plain maple top. The details have been carefully re-examined to enhance its vintage feel, making it a special order by Kurosawa Gakki.

The most notable and significant feature is the Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard. Since the availability of rosewood fingerboard guitars has drastically decreased, this model is extremely rare.

While the basic specifications are the same as the LS196, the body top and back wood are selected premium materials. Additionally, the neck joint angle has been set to “3.8 degrees” to resemble vintage 1950s models. The guitar is equipped with Tokai’s original PAF-Vintage MK2 pickups. While maintaining the bright tone of PAF-style pickups, these have been set with slightly higher output, making them versatile and suitable for all genres with a wide sound range.
