Quick guide to early '80's Japanese Les Pauls
Tokai - All great guitars bottom of the range LS50 to top of the range LS200
Greco - beware pre 1980 guitars, post 1980 range from OK to excellent depending on model
Burny - as Greco
Navigator - all top quality
Orville/Orville by Gibson - very good to great depending on model
Tiesco, Pearl - take your chances, a lot of not so great guitars out there
Use the search function there's a load of info on the forum, but it will take a long time to get through it all. Good luck :wink:

Edwards & Bacchus both make excellent guitars, but are newer brands than those mentioned above
Grandy - Tokai made
Fresher - don't have any idea about
