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.
