This rare, top-tier early Tokai “Black Beauty” offering predates the Love Rock branding, faithfully capturing the look and feel of a ‘50s Les Paul Custom with a trio of PAF-style Goto humbuckers and a mahogany body capped with a mahogany top.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard round out the tonewood complement, and this is a lightweight example for an LP-style guitar at 8lbs 7oz. The Goto “Patent Applied For” humbuckers meter around 8k ohms, wired in the traditional fashion for a Custom on the three-way pickup selector toggle: Bridge, Bridge+Middle (out of phase), Neck. The all-mahogany body yields a distinctive fundamental warmth and growl, and the neck pickup is particularly fat and woody. The bridge pickup has a sweet bite, and the out of phase Bridge\/Middle position has a pointed honk and percussiveness. This LC-110 has been professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Specs:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Wood: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e-Shape: ‘50s-style substantial C, full shoulders, measuring .875” 1st fret, .950” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e-Fretboard: Bound ebony, block inlay\u003cbr\u003e-Frets: Medium, leveled and crowned, virtually no wear\u003cbr\u003e-Scale Length: 24 3\/4”\u003cbr\u003e-Nut: 1 11\/16”, replacement\u003cbr\u003e-Headstock: Light cloudiness in finish, split-diamond inlay, replacement truss rod cover\u003cbr\u003e-Tuners: Gold waffle-back, lightly greened keystone buttons\u003cbr\u003e-Serialization: 9-prefix, “100” stamped into fretboard beyond 21st fret\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Specs:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Wood: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e-Pickups: Goto “Patent Applied For” humbuckers\u003cbr\u003e-Harness: Original pots x2, CTS pots x2 (replacement\/upgraded)\u003cbr\u003e-Controls: Volume x2, Tone x2, Three-way pickup selector\u003cbr\u003e-Hardware: No-wire ABR-1-style bridge, stopbar\u003cbr\u003e-Plastics: Amber switch tip, black bonnet knobs, four-ply pickguard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe gloss Ebony finish is framed by multi-ply binding, and cosmetic wear includes buckle rash across the back, faint scuffing on top along the pick path, and a handful of minor dings on the body as a whole.
