Old Tokai LS-80s are a real pleasure to play and photograph. This particular one is an early one from 1978 with mother of pearl fretboard inlays and chrome plated hardware.
It was a sunny winter day here in Tokyo with the sun coming in hard through the windows. The top of the LS really caught flame and revealed the fine figuring of the old maple.
A very clean headstock with the early pearloid tuning pegs.
A more subdued look in the shade.
Not your typical back grain here on the 1-piece mahogany.
