The early Tokai LP style guitars are truly incredible examples of Japanese craftsmanship and attention to detail. With 50's features like a long neck tenon, period correct top carve, '59 neck profile, dark rosewood board, and even a Lifton-style brown hardshell case, this guitar is an affordable alternative to expensive reissues and much closer to the original than many guitars of the era. Clean and fully original, you won't find many in this condition in the states.
