Tokai Love Rock LS-120 Lemon Burst 1981A beautiful and highly collectible 1981 Tokai Love Rock LS-120, made during the golden era of Japanese guitar manufacturing.The early Tokai Love Rock series has earned an outstanding reputation among players and collectors for its remarkable build quality and faithful interpretation of late-1950s Gibson Les Pauls.According to period Tokai model specifications, the LS-100, LS-120, LS-150 and LS-200 were positioned as 1959-style models, while the LS-50, LS-60 and LS-80 were based on the 1958 model.The LS-120 therefore represents one of the higher-grade models from this legendary period of Tokai production.Beautiful Lemon Burst & Carved Maple TopOne of the most impressive features of this guitar is its beautifully aged Lemon Burst finish and figured maple top.The flame/tiger figuring changes naturally depending on the viewing angle and lighting, giving the guitar the subtle three-dimensional appearance associated with great vintage maple tops.Another particularly attractive feature is the deeply carved top profile.The arching from the edge of the body toward the bridge and pickup area is noticeably pronounced and has the elegant contour associated with vintage Les Paul construction. It is a feature that is increasingly difficult to find on modern production guitars.After approximately 45 years, the original finish has developed a beautiful amber/lemon appearance that gives the instrument an unmistakably authentic vintage character.One-Piece Mahogany BackThe guitar features a traditional Les Paul-style construction with a carved maple top and one-piece mahogany back.The one-piece mahogany body construction is another desirable feature of these higher-grade early Tokai Love Rock models.Original DiMarzio USA PAF PickupsThis LS-120 is equipped with its original DiMarzio USA PAF humbuckers.The pickup baseplate is clearly stamped:“DiMarzio Pickups – Made in U.S.A.”Period Tokai specifications list DiMarzio PAF pickups among the premium p
