OK, so I'm writing this post to help a friend identify her Golden Era Reissue Tokai les paul. I'm no Tokai Les Paul expert, in fact I've never even heard of the "Golden Era Reissue" so maybe you can help? I'm providing the following pics, would like to know*:
*(Note, the toggle switch has been removed, the lady in question uses it in a very cool band with a very specialized sort of sound and she never needs the bridge pickup).
approximate vintage??
is the plaintop a solid top or veneer? (why would you veneer a plaintop?)
what type of pickups?
What is the difference between these and a Love Rock or Reborn?
What would be the model name/#? (LS-80? I think not... but what would it be?)
Are these well regarded, is there any more info I/she should know?
here are the pics
Thanks for any info guys!
