I know it’s a non premium lowly model compared to many that I see on here, but I absolutely love this guitar.

Build quality, fit, finish, feel and sound absolutely compares to any gibson or fender (or any other brand) I’ve had before.

The serial numbers are barely visible on new tokais, it’s 2348098

Very cool. I will try to keep adding models for each of the years after 2019 to try to get an idea of what the product line looked like. Probably do thumbnails in the first post of LS & AST models, etc. to get an idea of what was offered.

Thanks for kicking it off!

Tokai LS154Q OAK

A pure Japanese vintage series made by Japanese craftsmen from wood selection to assembly.
A gorgeous quilted maple top based on the classic specs of a 2-piece mahogany back, 1-piece mahogany neck, and rosewood fingerboard!
The pickup is equipped with an original humbucker PAF Vintage MK-2S.
The clear sound image with clear contours and the crisp sound like a vintage guitar that gives you an acoustic tone even when driven are the charms of the Japanese-made Tokai LS series.
This is a piece that has been carefully made over time, with excellent processing accuracy and neck fit, using traditional glue bonding.

Description of itemA pure Japanese vintage series made by Japanese craftsmen from wood selection to assembly.

An orthodox combination of a two-piece mahogany body, one-piece mahogany neck, and a set neck specification with a rosewood fingerboard.
Not only does it have smooth playability up to the high positions typical of the SG type, but it also mounts Tokai's standard PAF-Vintage MK2S on traditional wood materials to create a coherent and easy-to-use sound that is typical of a domestic product.
The color is classic cherry, and the pickguard is an old-style small pickguard.
Recommended for those looking for a high quality domestic SG type!
