I guess that the "writing" was done using glue and mirror tiles? 80s vibes :cool:

Hi chuckyz2! Thank you. I've opened this thread for my new tokai. You can have a look there: https://www.tokaiforum.com/threads/tokai-love-rock-1980-ls-50.29517/

For me this is a whole new way to look at things, but I got more and more curious about the tokai lawsuit and production while researching. And I love to now own a piece of history myself :)

No didn't check that, but I doubt that's any audible difference. Mine is quite light and I like the way it sounds and plays.

Yeah I read that thread about the nagano built tokais, but are there any (quality) differences in those "outsourced" guitars you know of?

The "LS Dynamic" thread mentions that these pickups were used starting 1981 that's why I wondered how they ended up in this 1980 tokai. But makes sense now. So this is a late 1980 guitar.

So they were actually already used in 1980s Tokais?

Hi! I just recently purchased this beauty. Seems to be an LS-50 "Inkie" from 1980. The pickups seem to be gotos. The back panel is not original afaik. Anyone know more about this? BR Julian

Hey Tokai enthusiasts, I just joined your forum after using it for some research to buy my first 80s Tokai. It really is a great source of information. Thanks for keeping this up! Cheers Julian
