I have given a fair shot to the pickups in my 78’ LS 60, those will have to be replaced. They’re surprisingly low output. In fact, even in appearance from the side they look way under wound. I’m not sure if this was common for that era of LS models, but I’ll be putting DiMarzio 36th...

I'm a new member with a new (to me) 78' LS-60 BS. I currently own two other Tokai LS models; a 2013 100f and a 2021 212f. I've been quite enamored with these guitars and had looked for an older model. I came across this LS-60 which was overpriced as far as I could tell. I tried to make an...
