Up for sale, a 1979 Tokai Les Paul Reborn “Love Rock” LS-120 in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original Lifton-style hardshell case. Originally introduced in 1977, this is the model that would eventually be called the Love Rock, retaining the "Les Paul Reborn" text which was quickly struck from the headstock face to avoid legal action from Gibson.
A premium example with USA-made DiMarzio PAF humbuckers with double cream bobbins and a lacquer "Original Sunburst" finish, traditional tonewoods include a mahogany body, two-piece carved curly maple top, one-piece mahogany neck, and bound rosewood fingerboard. The DiMarzio PAF humbuckers are dynamic and clear, with a bridge pickup that has a sweet growl and focused midrange aggression, while the neck pickup is fat and woody. This LS-120 weighs only 9lbs 5oz, benefitting from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
