I have a thing about Wine red and as such have been looking out for a Tokai in that finish. Have fate would have it I have come across one advertised in Aus I am interested in big time. However, before i start salivating and f generally coming over all unnecessary i want to check a couple of things out...
So first and most important question.. This particular guitar is said to be of a 1980 vintage and has an inked serial number rather than impressed. is that kosher?
The headstock has the cream binding with stripe and bares the logo Les Paul nothing else . The truss rod cover is Gibson style but in gold with no markings... It strikes me that could be a later addition though?
The tuners are Gibson style vintage in Ivory.
The pups are listed as... Goto PAF S stamped pickup, Rear 59B.. Again i suspect these might be later additions and there are no gold covers to them.
As I'm not au fait with the LC 60/100 & 110 models i could do with a bit of help here. Should the finish be nitro ? Anything else to check for?
