Not sure about these. The other LG210 I have seen (post #39 in this thread) was supposedly a custom build. This one may be as well?

Not sure. These PRS clones are not as common as LP copies so hard to say. Sometimes there are amazing deals on them since a lot of people think of them all as the cheaper Korean or Chinese guitars.

I played a 1985 prs custom 24 years ago and it was one of the best guitars i've tried. I had the chance to buy a 35th annivesary, but i bought a 1993 custom 24 cause the 35th was so different or worse than the other 2. Now i've got a 1985 tokai Santana which is just as good as the 85 custom. Under the bridge pocket says 250. It's just a pleasure to play.

Oh how cool. I think yours may be the second or third one that I have seen.

 

[player41]

Here is a post from the 80's, i've been asking many japanese luthiers and guitar makers for a Santana copy, but no one wants to make any.

LB118F SBL?

レア機種 TOKAI 「LG-118T」日本製 程度上々 - ヤフオク!

I am selling it for equipment arrangement. It is "LG-118T" with electric guitar of TOKAI.

A cheaper version (made in China) of this model often appears on the internet, but this is a higher model made in Japan.

As you can see, this looks like a copy of the PRS CUSTOM 24, but it's not.

First of all, as for the bridge, in the case of PRS, it is an original bridge with 6 points of support, but here, Wilkinson's "VG-300" is standard equipment.

Since it is a 2-point support bridge, the movement of the arm is very smooth, and I think it is smoother than the 6-point support of the PRS.

Next is the joint part of the neck.In the case of PRS, the joint part between the neck and the body is chamfered at the base of the neck.

On the other hand, the TOKAI made is beautifully rounded like a normal Les Paul, so the high position operability is outstanding compared to the PRS.
I think it's excellent .

I really liked it for the above reasons, but I had no choice but to sell it because I needed to organize my equipment a little.
Currently there is no particular problem. I think that the frets in the low position are a little worn, but I don't think there are any major problems.

There is a dent near the peg of the 6th string, but there seems to be no other noticeable large scratches.

It may be a little hard to see in the image, but the color of the main body is a see-through paint that looks like navy blue.
I believe the top is quilted maple.

Have picked up another Tokai prs vendors description was a PR90 which is the green guitar and I have a LR40 which is blue and identical both 2004 serial numbers.So why different model numbers and are these accurate model numbers to each guitar
