Since its founding in 1947, Tokai has manufactured a wide range of musical instruments, including pianos, guitars, and banjos. Its flagship models include the highly acclaimed LP-style LS series and the metal-bodied TALBO series, making it a beloved, long-established manufacturer among many players, both professional and amateur, both domestically and internationally. This time we have in stock the highly popular LP copy model "LS-100," a model from the "Love Rock" era that began around 1981. 【body】 The total weight is approximately 3.85 kg. The body is made of a two-piece maple top and a one-piece mahogany back. The cherry sunburst color retains a good reddish hue, and the grain of the laminated curly maple is beautiful. There are scratches and dents, dents on the back of the body and buckle scratches, age-related deterioration of the paint surface, tarnishing of the metal parts, lifting of the binding on the cutaway, and additional screws to secure the pickguard, but considering its age, the condition is relatively good and it has the character of a vintage guitar. 【neck】 The neck is made of one-piece mahogany with a rosewood fingerboard. The headstock top shows some slight clouding. The "100" model number sticker remains on the back of the headstock. The back of the neck has some shallow dents and some noticeable scratches. The tuners are fully functional, although there is some slight variation in winding. The frets show some wear, but have been leveled and adjusted by our shop, resulting in good playability. The nut has been replaced. The nut width is approximately 43.1mm. The neck has a clean, smart shape, making it easy to handle. [Electrical System] The controls are LP-type standard: 2 volume, 2 tone, and a 3-way pickup selector switch. The pickups are original DiMarzio PAFs, originally covered but currently missing (covers are not included). The neck (front) position offers a rich, mellow tone, while the bridge (rear) position provides a sharp sound with good separation. Its excellent resonance is also a major appeal.
