Found your posts about Reborn as special dealer’s order, likely everything’s fine, but still having doubts, so a good word from the community matters. No certificate, unfortunately

Hi there, You’re always so helpful. The ls186 has been successfully traded with a Gibson for the custom. So the question still appears, as this ls540 is still for sale. May it be really the ls540 with Reborn Old on the headstock? The same seller as for 420 I’ve asked before. Rolph pups and...

Occasionally found a nice limited 70th anniversary LS186VF-CS with a certificate for $900…waiting😊

Of course, thanks. This top looks like an expensive one with a lot of A (the seller cl “AAAA”). If it’s solid, I will consider it as one of a high-end guitars starting from 320 and further… The price of 2.5k looks like a bargain. Cause I checked the reverb, and the 420s are sold at 3.3-4k…hope...

Yesss, this seller. Great to find a local fellow here😊 Thank you so much guys for all the mental and physical support. For your help with identifying guitars too, really helps. So do you think something’s unfair? I purchased a Tokai from him in 2022. It sounds amazing and looks fine…so I don’t...

Thank you so much! Everything’s gonna be fine. We believe. Not a 70th Anniversary model, but a 70th Anniversary production run…who knows, the 2017 production matches the 70th anniversary of the company. Would be interesting to know who’s in Ukraine😊 The seller?) There’re no other Tokais here...

Haven’t found the 2017 catalogue, but checked the 2018. The top guitar there is an ls320. If it’s a special run, it may not be mentioned in a regular catalogue, right?

Thanks. Yes, I’d checked the thread with Reborn Old runs year-by-year, but no 2017 found. The seller has an ls540 5A top with the serial 1737548 (this ls420 has 1737546) and claims he’s got them as a direct order through a dealer for Tokai 70th Anniversary. I’m in Ukraine, the guitar is 150 km...

The seller said, and I informed that I’d check myself, as I’ll drive to pick it up personally. So no way to mislead.

If the top maple grade says something, here’re more pics (I’ve never been able to count an amount of “A”, but this one looks expensive😁)

Solid top confirmed, binding confirmed, electronics confirmed. Thanks a lot! The 1st link you’ve sent confirms specks and a headstock shape. The one I’m curious about costs 2.5k and a local pick up is available, it’s in my country. Seems to be fine…

Thanks for the reply. Requested more pics. What are the indicators of LS420 (besides one-piece body and a decent top)? Does Reborn logo say something? How to identify a high-end 420 compared, let’s say, to some nice 186 or so The seller has no certificate. Here’s the seller’s description: The...

Dear folks, I have a question regarding the legitimacy of the following Tokai. The seller claims that it’s a 70th Anniversary custom shop special run (no certificate) LS420CS. It has a “Reborn old” logo and a strange headstock shape. Scrolling the internet I’ve found the LS420s only with open...

I have ebony on ‘89 Gibson Explorer and now on Tokai, I like it too…a bit brighter and a bit more detailed than on my another explorer’s rosewood board Funny thing, but I’ve never played LPs, so maple top is something new and colored for me :D Good luck with lc100 good deal 8)

Thanks. Waiting for a new pack of Elixirs to try it fully. All the best and thank you for answers!
