You guys may remember me asking for your advice on this purchase a few months back. It is a great guitar, and one of the better LP's I have played over the years. I hate to sell it already, but after 40+ years as a Strat player, I am finding that I am just not playing the LP in the band at all...

I finally received the new pots and pups for my LS-80. Thought I would post a couple of pics of the guitar with the new Sheptone PAF's. The pickups sound great and I really wanted an LP with covers on the pups. So the mods I just made were: - new Faber Tone Lock bridge - swapped out the stock...

I just purchased a 1981 Tokai Love Rock LS-80 model, which will be arriving here early next week. This will be my first MIJ Tokai and I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the stock pickups are in these guitars? I am prepared to give them an honest try before I decide if I need to swap them...
