This one is confusing.

It has the inner split diamond that we see on the 90s LC examples.

I am wondering if this split diamond was used for the Japanese Domestic Market at the same time the 4 pinted diamond was used internationally?

From the listing:

This is a TOKAI Les Paul Custom for sale. I think the snake pattern is rare.

The serial number is from 1985, but I think the Les Paul Custom was made in 1995.

It's very easy to play and the sound is perfect.
This is subjective, but the neck is not shaved.

I think there are about 70% of the frets left.

Like the original Gibson, it has fret-edge binding.
The head has a diamond inlay.

It will be a set neck.

There are some scratches and paint peeling off the gold parts due to age, but it can still be used.

Weight is approximately 3.7 kg.
