1980 Ls 80

[kmarccoco]

My friend is selling his 1980 vintage sunburst LS 80. Its a Reborn Old and says "Reborn" on the headstock.

He paid 1600 USD, and thats what he wants for it.

Ill post pics tonight. It has the original case.

Correction, it says "les Paul" on the headstock...

When I saw the heading, I thought you had gone over to "the dark side" & bought a Les Paul!

Waiting on pics. (drums fingers lightly..)

Here are some quick pics, will post better ones when i have daylight. I need to have it looked at to rule out the checking/stress cracks in the lacquer on the back of the neck as being a crack. Im convinced that it is just checking in the lacquer but must have a pro look at it to back up my opinion. any opinions?/ or ways to confirm? the checking goes against the grain. I would think a crack would follow the grain, especially a small one like this.. It also has a Dimarzio pup in the bridge, i believe period correct.

Wow. Definitely worth waiting for the pics. I don't recall reflector knobs on a period Tokai, but they're a nice touch with the top.

I'm definitely not a professional, but those are just finish cracks, and not structural. Don't know what would have caused them, they surely aren't normal temperature related checking, but I wouldn't be concerned about them, either.

Thanks for sharing!
