I recently purchased a 1981 Tokai LS-60 Love Rock model but I don't have the guitar yet.
I assume it is in original condition as the guitar looks to be near pristine.
From looking @ photos the solder in the control route looks untouched.
One thing that looks off are the pickups as they have open (reverse) zebra bobbins.
The 1981 catalog has the LS-60 pictured with double white bobbins.
If the pickups in the guitar are actually original, what should I expect the no cover (reverse) zebra pickups to be?
EDIT:
I did locate another LS-60 with what looks to be the same open (reverse) zebra bobbin pickups but it is a 1984 example; three years later than the 1981 example.
On the 1984 example it has a sticker on the pickup bases showing 'TOKAI '57 PAF MODEL'
Also, just looked at the 1982 Tokai catalog which has the LS-60 pictured with the open (reverse) zebras. :lol:
The '82 catalog list these pickups as MkII pickups.
