Yes multiple, seller says "Tokai LS-80 with multiple headstock repairs, it's pretty ugly but priced accordingly and functional. Pots, caps, tuners, and knobs are replaced, everything else is original."

Saw this for sale. Priced accordingly?? https://eugene.craigslist.org/msg/d/eugene-1979-tokai-ls80-les-paul-reborn/7733756857.html

My 1979 LS100. Redone in lemony burst.

Do you mean you are buying every ls100 guitar that pops up? I have one I'll sell you. Seriously, thanks for all the cool content you post here.

Glad that one worked out for you. The one I saw was way more broken than yours.

Good score, was that one on craigslist a few weeks ago up by Seattle?

Looks like a dang fine guitar whatever it is. Wow, did Tokai use super hot pickups like that in the early 1980's? I always thought they were half that, more like PAF. I haven't tried the Maxon made V-2's I have at around 16k in my Reborn yet.

I have a 1979 Les paul Reborn LS100 that had a few toggle switch holes filled and refinished top in some sort of lemon burst. The seller told me more than once that it was all done at the factory, but I didn't think it true. The top is excellent but the hole fill wasn't a very good match.

Even the tape on the case says LS50. Man, every time I see one of those green lined cases I WANT ONE!

Very interesting, I thought they were 1980-81. I have one with a 01 serial that's a very good guitar.

Nice guitar. Looks a lot like a Terada built T. Haruo I used to have.

Good to know, I would have never guessed that one. Just buy an old Fender Pro Jr. and be done with it. :D

That's pretty cool, good job restoring a classic. Play it proud.

Nice! 3 piece top and back and 14 degree headstock angle but who cares. A real solid wood player that has all you ever need in a classic LP. Way good enough to gig with but not so nice that you're reluctant to take it out of the house or even the case to play it or bounce it on the stage a few...

Solid 24k goldtop.

Something doesn't look right to me about this one being a 1978-1980. 3 piece top usually only on LS 50, but usually with multi piece back too. Single ring tuners have screw in bushings instead of press in, so headstock holes would possibly have had to been enlarged to fit those? Pickups have no...

Doesn't the "Tokai" logo look a little low on the headstock of that 1979? I guess they were all hand placed anyway?

Bridge is the screw in to stud Nashville type too. Didn't Tokai use ABR-1?
