The ‘58 Les Paul Standard Model and Black Beauty Custom Model Are Released. The definitive Les Paul model dedicated to young musicians in the world of Japan, including the LS and LC series sent by the Tokai Electric Guitar Project Team. There is no other!! Anyway, the model who tried to make a perfect copy is said to have never existed. It's just the appearance of the copy. There was nothing different or satisfying. So Tokai's Left Knock Guitar 7 Project Team recreates all of the '58 Les Paul in a perfect way, not just recreating it, but flattening that almighty sound. It's gone. The spectacle of making musical instruments is in the sound! The LS.LC series is truly valuable as a musical instrument that replaces the conventional wisdom of copying. Look at your hands, a good guitar is just a touch of your hand.

The LC Series -Black Beauty Les Paul Custom

The Les Paul Custom, nicknamed “Black Beauty”, is equipped with the highest-end humbucking pickups on its original model. Tokai's LC series. The back and top neck are all made of mahogany and the tone is wonderful. To express a hot heart, you need a good companion. The guitar must be the best. This LC series "is the perfect reproduction of the deeper musicality of the original. It's a Humbucker guitar that has even improved accuracy. It's no exaggeration to say that it exceeds the current Gibson Les Paul model. It's a guitar that makes me feel like it's gone.

The LS Series -Les Paul Standard

The Les Paul Standard model was manufactured from 1952 to 1960, and the 1958 model was evaluated as an immortal instrument of Ne Eigo. Tokai's LS series is a guitar series that reproduces the specifications and color of the '58 standard as it is in modern times. With this LS series, you can rest assured. Both sexual ability, sea performance, and music students are packed. I want you to create a new sound and develop an active 7 ray. That Jimmy Page, Mike Bloomfield, also used a Les Paul. A good guitarist is a self-locking and first-class product. Would you like to have Tokai's LS series?

For ST series ('54 Strat model) PB series ('57 precision base model) SS series (Strato model) and other colors, be sure to see Electric Guitar Manual Vol 2.

The Les Paul model of Tokai overturned the common sense of the copy, but first of all, the body of the '58 Les Paul was made of maple top and mahogany back solid. However, let's be careful if there is air in the domestic copy, or if there is another catalog between maple and mahogany (that is, in the air). I don't have 15 guitars. The body of LS / LC Gilly 2 "is all party-wide (as shown in the photo on page 5 of the VOL.2 catalog). From the model of 50,000 yen to the whole sound part, that is the case.

Already-The important thing about adding a body is the "boring machine" that you can't see directly. It is difficult to explain in words. Let's look at a simple diagram below. This addition is really hard. The length is about 38 cm, and the hole clearing machine that opens it is about 2 m, and the drill is 50 cm. I don't think it can be imitated anywhere else. This is all a matter of course in order to completely reproduce the 1983 model.

As mentioned above, I was absolutely confident in Podifuri. We made the best guitar by combining the wonderful mechanical power and craftsmanship of "Unputer Satoku P's 3D Router". And play and use it in the best condition for you. This is the project team's policy. Don't you think this is what the true "cost performance" is? This is not the only great thing! As for Net, Mahogany dress. It can be said that the sport is unlikely to be used nowadays.

★ This is a neck made from one-piece mahogany!! Nowadays, there are few Les Pauls that use such materials.

Just because the switches and wiring pickups are double coils and there is little noise, it is not good if noise appears in the switches and wiring. Of course, this is not the case with Tokai's guitar. First of all, the entire toggle switch is shielded with a gold case, and the noise of the tattoo part is shut out. A newly designed print board is used for the controller section. This will give you electrical reliability and improve maintenance !! Besides, the wood inside the controller is coated with conductive paint, and the backing bar has 6 metal shavings. Of course, all models are the same. If you do this, you can get a complete shielding effect and solve any troubles.

Pickups

"The life of an electric guitar is in the pickups," guitar players often say. Do you know what this means? Let me tell you the truth. This is saying that the combination with the body is important. No matter how wonderful PU is mounted on a body, the power of P.U cannot be fully exerted. Now, let's explain the P.U mounted on the LS. LC series in an easy-to-understand manner.
● A type: The same material that was mounted on the '58 Les Paul is used for the coil wire. You can promise 100% old-fashioned sound. This is P.U. from the newspaper.
● B type: This one is P.U, which was ranked as the highest grade in the other. This is listed in the 50,000 yen range. Easily enjoy the good distortion sound.
● DiMarzio's "PAF" This PA is truly high quality and perfect.

Pegs

"This is the culmination of the 7 ° project team's sweat and effort. Listen carefully. Why didn't you use that Rotomatic peg ...? Easy to melt, the weight of the Rotomatic pegs is all raw sound It's because it flutters. The bass mystery is depressing in a blink of an eye, and this doesn't become music. The cause is that the heavy peg head swallows the string vibration, it's totally like a lie. It's a real story. And I think the design is bad, I'm stuck on the back of the head. So the project team decided to try making that Kluson type peg. The original one had a slight problem with accuracy, but the Tokai Kluson type peg is a high-performance peg with two-threaded screws, and the mochi 3 is not taut. It has an indescribable good color. Anyway, you can enjoy the best peg-head feeling.

The material calculation of Bridge and Tail Piece. Bridge is Mochi 3 Shinroku, and the shape is the same as the '58 type. Naturally, the bolts such as the body are adopted by the direct stud method, and the string support is transmitted perfectly with a correct width ratio. The tailpiece was made of aluminum cast, and the '58 type was also the same. And the shape is also different from the current one, and the bulge of the center is located a little behind, so please look carefully.

Escutcheon.

Pay attention to the height of the escutcheon !! Tokai's escutcheon is the same height as the old one. This is important, if you or PU was built next to the Hopun type. This is to prevent the coil of the microphone from being scratched by the hard play. All models are equipped with the old type escutcheon that firmly guards the large seven-cut PU.

REBORN is said to be on the bed, but Katekyo is reborn. He is resurrected.

LS/LC series has a special case

First of all, it was created with the idea of ​​protecting the hole completely, and secondly, it was cool. The main body is "completely put on so as not to rattle. Especially for the neck holder, after the husband, look closely. The overall style is old Gibson as it is, both horizontally and vertically. 3 It's okay, it's okay even in a crowded train.

● LP-I00 ¥ 10000 ● LP-120 ¥ 12,000

The LS / LC series will be in this case as soon as it becomes a finished product. Of course, you can't just play the guitar, even if it's the best match. For a wonderfully advanced guitar, a special case that fits it is similar. With this case, you're already an NDW. Joined the ranks of guitar players.
