It would be and LS-70, made in 1995. Is there anything else you wanted to know? Pictures would be helpful.

Just so you know the model # is year or time period specific. A LS-70 cost 70,000 yen. A ls-100 cost 100,000 Yen. So, a ls-70 from 95 is equivalent to a ls-150 or so of today (2018).

Then because of legal problems Tokai stopped... Could it be true?
aroomstudios said:I did not mention that cause I though that was a given. That is a common thing people do with quality MIJ guitars replace the logo with a Gibson logo. Well not super common but you see then pop up every so often. My guitar set up guy has a Edwards with a Gibson redone logo.

I bought it 2 years ago and I payed it €1.300. The shop does’nt exist anymore...How long ago did you buy it? If you thought it was a Gibson then you probably paid a lot more than you should.
