Reluctant sale to fund another purchase.
Highly sought after Tokai model with the solid 2 pc maple top, nitro finish, and correct headstock pitch. Stock gotoh pafs and upgraded cts pots. Comes with all the wear you would expect of a 40 year old guitar. Original tokai case. Wonderful patina and a great weight at 4kg.
Price dropped from £1500 to £1400 
 Any questions please don't hesitate to ask. 
Thanks for looking.

    We've spoken elsewhere. This is a killer guitar, and a much better buy than a £1500 Gibson!

    This looks like it could be the younger brother to my 1980. Absolutely superb guitars especially if you can find a lighter one. R7s and R8s have come and gone, LS80 is staying :)

  • That's a beaut Homer. I suspect very similar colour to mine (in person).
     BTW I may be open to trades for a 60s 's-type' guitar..

    Hey there thanks for your question. As per title it's a 'Love Rock'. I thought I had a pic of the headstock in the album. Here it is https://i.imgur.com/I7h1Klt.jpg

    Lovely guitar. 
    Difference between a reborn and a love rock is one year, a 81/82 LS80 love rock is exactly the same as a LS80 reborn.  Amazing guitars, my LS80 gold top has seen off every other les paul I’ve owned

    I rather fancy a gold top. Does it have a 58 or 59 profile?

    More 58, but not huge.

    How deep is that hole in the neck? It may be that the photo is making it look worse than it is but it's the only thing that's putting me off an otherwise beautiful looking guitar.

    They do vary. My 1980 LS80 has much more of a 59 profile.
