Welcome to G-CLUB SHIBUYA! We can ship anywhere all over the world!!

Please contact us for more information.

- High-quality guitars that only Tokai Gakki can produce under the principle of "inefficient manufacturing.
Tokai Guitar is handmade by skilled craftsmen in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture.
While major guitar makers aim for efficient manufacturing
Tokai Gakki Mfg. continues to produce fine instruments based on the philosophy that "the hand is connected to the heart.
Many processes are done by hand, such as the embedding of truss rods.
For gluing, the company is particular about the use of nikawawa, which is difficult to handle.
Tokai guitars are made with the eyes of a craftsman.
The guitar feels strangely comfortable in the hand, with rich sound and response.
Because it is something you will use for a long time, a carefully handmade guitar has a special charm.
We hope you will take it in your hand and check it out for yourself.

Here is a black beauty version. May have been modded? Hard to tell.

Tokai トーカイ LS Love Rock ジェフベック風改... - Yahoo!オークション

Description of item​

I think it was aimed at a Jeff Beck style Les Paul with a bar type bridge. The original model name is unknown, but I think it will be made in Japan in 2006.

When I got it, the head was spray-painted black and had Gibson and Les Paul model decals on it, and I thought it would be a crime to sell something like that, so I just polished it with compound and brought back the Tokai logo. It was tough work.

I think I filled in the tailpiece part, but no matter how hard I look, I can't see any traces of it. I thought someone who was good at it might have done it, but the string ground was not drawn, which was a shame, so I fixed it.

There are some peeling paint on the body, but I think these are intentional scratches. The paint is poly, so unless you have shark-like skin, you won't be able to remove these parts.

It looks like the pickups have been replaced. I'm not sure what it is, but I can only imagine that the front is a Goto pickup and the rear is a Barney.

The pegs are Grover, the pot is a 2005 CTS, the capacitor is a replica Bumblebee, and the jack is Switchcraft.

The neck condition is good and the frets are hardly worn out. The rod has plenty of room in both directions.

The assembly is also in good condition.

The weight is about 4.05 kg.

Comes with a soft case.
