Hi Sig — do you have any of the Gaban “Deluxe” models with Gibson style mini humbuckers? The pups are mounted within a 2nd ring, so I wondering if the routes were made for Standard humbuckers? The 2nd rings look goofy. I wasn’t sure if it was original until I spotted another one for sale.
No serial #. And a screw is stripped on the rear control cavity so can’t date the pots. Any idea how to remove the stripped screw? I’m thinking of using a drill to remove the head.
Hi Sig — perhaps you can rally the troops to help with my Gaban Les Paul Custom.

The neck pickup cover has worn or polished off all its Gold plating to the extent it looks badly matched to its bridge counterpart. Standard covers don’t...
LS 80 and above Chrome or Nickel stock hardware? Love aged nickel. I've seen both and just read that chrome was stock... maybe it depends on the model. Thanks
Thank you for the great detailed images! I've seen several Greco Super Reals with their Flame Top veneers cracking, chipping, or completely lifting off. So I'm shopping for a '78-80 unmolested Tokai Reborn LS-80. Most of the ones I've seen are missing the pickup covers.
Hi guys. I'm new to this forum and caught the MIJ Les Paul bug. Do the non-flame top 1978-1980 Tokai Reborn Les Pauls LS-60 or 80 have solid carved tops?
