hans-j?rgen said:What did you have to do, neck adjustment, string height etc. or something else like new frets? By the way, welcome to the forum and congratulations again for your steal! :wink:
Yes, I know what you mean... :wink:Hot Rod said:Plugged in this baby screams and easily blew away my 76' Ibanez Les Paul Custom ( Mod 2650 set neck with Rio Grande Pafs) and even my friend's 2002 LS80 Goldtop!
On yours and togps' pictures both have covers, so it's probably not DiMarzio, but either Seymour Duncan '59 or Tokai (= Gotoh) PAFs. Though QuattroSte is right, because this is the info you can also draw from the "Early Tokai models" catalogue in English on the main site which seems to have been printed in 1986. There is a Japanese catalogue version from 1981, too, where the LS 120 is listed, but I can't figure out what pickups they mention there. My LS 120 from 1981 didn't have the original pickups either, because the first owner had put them into his Gibson Heritage and swapped them with its Shaw PAFs which sound very good, too. Do you have an ohm meter to measure their impedance perhaps? Or did you take them out yet and look at the bottom base plate?What Kind of PUs are normally built into a 82' LS 120 ?? They sound fantastic...!!! :wink:
Interesting, so they came with covers? Usually old DiMarzio pickups don't have covers, so I thought they may be Seymour Duncans. Did you take them out at same time? Anyhow, since they both have normal pole pieces, these should be both PAFs then (great pickup in my opinion), not Super Distortions with hex pole pieces.togps said:There are DiMarzio?s inside.
Yes, I know... By the way, here's another good source for current color names and abbreviations from Tokai UK:Hot Rod said:Hans-J?rgen , the photo of togs dimarzio is from my LS 120(formerly ??, togs??)
Seems like it, as it was the usual combination for the LS 100 at least. I only wondered about the covers, but ochay also has seen them like that, so it may have been a special order by Tokai back then. Nowadays you can buy covered DiMarzio PAFs directly.i have pulled the pups out yesterday, they are both dimarzios, the guitar has a green control plate for the vol-and tone controls and a very fat maple cap (2piece), I will keep them anyway, 'cause they seem to me the original pus!
Testing them would be nice, but buying them really hurts... Anyhow, DiMarzio PAFs (especially the old ones) are much cheaper and sound very good, too, but I think I have mentioned that before. :roll:May be , I'll try some Kloppmann's Pafs , (good idea H-J :lol: ),see Test in Gitarre & Bass 2/2005 (sorry, only german language), if i can get some for testing!!
Yes, this guitar is pictured in the Early Tokai models catalogue (TLS-100S 1957 model on the right side with covers) and also described as having two DiMarzio PAFs.ochay said:I had a candy apple red LS100 that had original Dimarzio's with covers on them. That's the only one I have seen with covers on the Demarzio's
Sure, you'll be the first to know... But I'll buy Schaller Kluson type tuners for her first and use the M6 on my ES 335 copy from Luxor then. It will be interesting if there is a sound difference with the lighter Kluson types.Bitte lassen Sie mich wissen, wenn Sie bereit sind, zu lassen, gehen von Ihrem paula.
