It has low action with no buzzing. The frets are in perfect condition and polished to shine like a mirror, it is truly stage or studio ready/worthy. Including New Strings,  Perfect Intonation, Truss Rod Adjustment and Low Action Read Our Feedback and Rest Assured, The Dude Abides!This stunning Tokai Reborn Old LS-50, is an absolute show stopper, oozing with vintage MOJO, while maintaining an excellent cosmetic condition that is mind-blowing for a guitar that is 45 years old. 'Reborn Old' is a distinguished gem among Tokai's rare Reborn models. Only introduced for short period in 1980, Reborn Old was soon handed over to Love Rock, to get around ever escalating pressure from Gibson lawsuit.  The Tokai Love Rock LS-50 is a take on the classic Gibson Les Paul guitar. Released in 1980 this goldtop is modeled after a 1958 Les Paul and features a maple top, mahagony body and Tokai ’57 Vintage MKII humbuckers. (made by Gotoh)Tokai faithfully modeled their Love Rock guitars of specific classic Gibson Les Paul models – the LS-50 is based on a 1958 Les Paul. Only the LS-50/60 models were produced as a goldtop.This guitar is in very good to excellent vintage condition. There are a few scratches and dings, but overall for its age, it is in very nice shape. The most significant wear and tear is the scratches/paint chip on the top near the knobs (see pics) Guitar features: SN#: 0009093 / maple top / mahogany body / mahogany neck / rosewood fingerboard /  tune-o-matic and stop bar bridge / original volume and tone controls / Vintage Kluson Style tuners / original handmade bone nut / original exposed humbucker pickupsTokai LS guita
