1980 Tokai LS80 Les Paul Reborn - all original with original hard case - £1350 1175 including shipping

(please scroll down thread for details of the LS150)

Cash on collection central London also possible

I'll probably regret letting this one go!
 
 - 1980 Les Paul Reborn (LP silkscreen and original bell TRC, 80 stamp on the fretboard)
 - Double ring tuners
 - Original Gotoh pickups (pots and caps have been replaced with CTS and Russian PIO caps but the original pots are in the case).
 - Solid plain top, nitro finish
 - All original plastics (the crack in the pickup ring you can see in the third photo has been expertly repaired at Charlie Chandler Guitar Experience since the photo was taken. CCGE have also set up the guitar beautfully.) 
 - 59 profile neck
 - 8.98 lbs (4075g)

This one's a monster, with a real Beano vibe to it.

Oof, that is lickable lovely. Sadly it costs £1,348 more than I have currently and what I do have is set aside for a bacon roll when I get to the office.

These guitars are worth nearly twice as much as they sell for, in general. Very nice !

Definitely an appreciating classic, especially with the original pickups

just wondering. How can a Tokai LP from 1980 be worth the same as a Gibson of the same year?

Gadgie

Nice guitar by the way:)

The Tokai is a lot rarer and therefore collect able and very probably better.

I sold a Tokai Les Paul reborn just 3 months ago which was from 1979 and it sold for £2025.00 plus the buyer paid £175.00 shipping.
It was this one here... it was a superb guitar.

 I think it is a great price for the guitar that the OP is selling.

Screw it. This guitar is my birth year so I'll hang on to it. If anyone is interested in a 1981 LS150 with super flamey top pm me.

I cannot afford to buy an 1981 LS150 but a picture of it to drool over would be nice
