Super CLEAN 1982 TOKAI LS-100 Love Rock. MADE IN JAPAN. This is genuine Japan vintage 1982. Tokai didn’t go into volume production until around 1983, so these early ones are pretty much hand made. Never equaled and still considered one of the best Les Paul replicas ever produced. If you want to experience what all the fuss is about and score yourself a great MIJ vintage axe, then late 70's/early 80's is the best way to go.

Note: In this era, Tokai Love Rocks above LS-80 had fret edge binding and the 100's had nitro. This has both and that is why I'm calling this an LS-100. There's an LS-70 in the 1982 catalog that looks similar, but I've had a few LS-70 Goldtops and compared them with this one side by side. This is *not* the same model.

This Tokai LS-100 is a KILLER vintage Les Paul in every sense of the word. For the collector who desires an absolutely clean and original example.

Beautiful Goldtop with nitrocellulose lacquer finish and fret edge binding. Very dark rosewood fretboard and excellent frets showing marginal wear. Near MINT condition!

Medium neck profile. Perfectly balanced and a blast to play. Weight is very comfortable and right about 9 pounds. No Swiss cheese here! 

Beautiful axe that plays great with low, comfortable action. Controls work perfectly with no static or noise. Neck is straight. Just set-up and ready to play. 

Vintage Tokais are unmatched in desirability. Prices of the early ones are rising as more and more players and collectors discover these once hidden gems. You would have to get a real '56 LP to beat this. It's crazy how good this axe is. I'll regret selling this one.

Tokai hardshell case included. 

No cracks, No breaks, No repairs, No issues!
