PRICED TO SELL / NO RESERVE! 1982 Tokai Love Rock LS-60 (Serial # 2011220) in excellent playable and display condition. Mahogany neck, head stock is 14 degrees. Hand made bone nut.
Set up by professional Luthier, plays beautifully. As great as it sounds in the video I had it set up as I mentioned by a professional Luthier. Hate to sell this guitar but I need to pay medical bills.According to the Tokai Registry, the Black finish was available on the LS-50 and LS-80 factory models. The frets on this guitar are factory painted and appears to be a custom or factory knock off. It is a genuine 1982 Tokai Love Rock. It does not appear in the records on the Tokai Registry Web Site however, those records only indicate factory specifications not custom design or special order guitars. This is a rare original Tokai, made in Japan offered at a great price.
As I mentioned Tokai has a registry web site you can verify serial numbers of when and where factory Tokai guitars were made. I recommend anyone looking for a Tokai visit this site. Just Google Tokai guitar registry.Tokai became so efficient at making these guitars in the 1970’s and 1980’s that Gibson filed a law suit, demanding they halt production. Today, China makes a cheaper imitation but does not hold up to the early Japanese quality of these old Tokai’s. These Chinese and Korean Tokai copies sell all over eBay for a few hundred dollars and some reach for a premium price claiming to hold the quality that the early 1970's & 1980's Japan models carry. I've been told this guitar is better made than the newer Gibson's rolling off the production line. I think this Tokai under priced but the market sets the current value and what people are willing to pay.I also added a YouTube video from the former owner. Hope this helps, if the link does not work the title on YouTube is: 1982 TOKAI LS 60 BB LES PAUL GUITAR REVIEW & DEMONSTRATION
