Tokai Vintage Timewarp 1979 Japanese LS-50 'Reborn' Les Paul Vintage Sunburst

Here is a real timewarp vintage 1979 Japanese Tokai LS-50 'Reborn' Les Paul Vintage Sunburst. Vintage Tokai (’78-’85) are our absolute favourite lawsuit style Japanese single-cuts. This one is a stunner, with a really nice vintage honey sunburst. Non chambered with a three piece top, solid '59 profile neck carve and very dark Indian rosewood fingerboard. Weight is good at 4.2. Beautifully balanced with a smooth forgiving action. Neck straight, plenty of life in the frets and truss rod working fine. Being a Reborn it still has the model number '50' stamped in the rosewood of the last fret. The 'Reborn' was the first in the LS series built before the 'Love Rock', with the transitional ‘Reborn Old’ briefly sandwiched in between. This one is quite simply in astounding condition; one of the best examples of an original Reborn we've had through the doors. The Japanese kids mostly wanted Gibsons at the time and therefore the Tokais and other Japanese-built clones got used and abused; which is how they usually turn up. This one looks like it has spent most of its life locked up in its case. The little specs you can see on the top by the knobs are just case dust. There are a couple of insignificant little bumps here and there, but it has the deep shine of a guitar that has seen very little play over the last 4 decades.  It comes with its original green-lined & plated Tokai plated HSC, which is in fine working condition. It also contains the original 1979 Japanese hangtag (the only one we have ever seen!) This really is one of the best examples of a Reborn left out there. Don't miss it. In our opinion the LS-50s are the absolute best bang for buck vintage Japanese Les Pauls, and as such are a great investment, especially in this condition.
