Hello all,
A change in circumstances forces the sale of this, my most prized Tokai. It is an LS-200, was made in 2004, is in good clean condition (aside from a few very small dings which I mention them just in the interests of accuracy - it has been very well looked after), and is, salesmanship aside, hands down the best built, best playing Les Paul I've ever had. It also has an obscenely pretty AAAA-flamed maple top, nitro finish, one piece mahogany back and neck, and beautfiul dark ebony fretboard. The full specs are as follows...
*BODY: One piece mahogany with AAAA-flamed solid maple top
* NECK : one piece mahogany
* FINGERBOARD : Ebony
* MECHANICS: Gotoh tuners, aluminium Gotoh tail piece and Tune-o-matic bridge
* SCALE : 628mm, (24.75inch)
* JOINT : Set-Neck (long tenon neck)
* PICKUPS : IronGear Dirty Torque (Bridge) / IronGear Blues Engine (Neck)
* CONTROL : 2Volume, 2Tone, 3way PU selector
* COLOR : Cherry Sunburst - Nitro
It kills me to have to sell this, but needs must and all that jazz. it comes with a servicable tweed LP case (although the catch knob has fallen off), and a scratchplate which has never been attached. It's the one discussed in this thread (this 200, it seems, may actually be a 230 - I havent a clue tbh)...

I could upon request put the original Tokai MK2 pikcups back in if the potential buyer would prefer. I am asking for ?950 delivered fully insured within the UK. Please PM me for more info and some pictures and I will do what i can to help - potential buyers are welcome to come and have a look.
