Tokai ALS48 Les Paul Model 2006 (Used)

・This is Tokai ALS48 produced in 2006*, selected in Japan. This one might be barely used by previous owner, so keeps good appearance.
*it is estimated by the serial number.

・Now this model is renewed ALS55, which has much the same specs.

・Accessory included: soft case (used)
*Hard case (used) is also available as an option for free. Please let us know which one you would like after your order.

Specs
Body: Flamed Sycamore & Basswood (Top)、Basswood (Back)
Neck: Maple (Set-in Neck)
Fingerboard: Rosewood
Number of frets: 22
Pickups: LSC-F×2 (Humbucker)
Bridge: LS-VBC (Bridge), LS-VTC (Tailpiece)
Controls: 2Vol, 2Tone, 3-way SW
Weight*: 4.1kg/144.6oz
*measured by analog weight scale. Please note there would be measurement error to some extent.

Condition
About action & play-ability:
・This guitar is used. It is playable smoothly. No obvious buzz on its sound through the amp.

・Electronics are fine except tone pots. When you turn tone knobs (for neck and bridge pickup) around minimum value, they make little crunch. Sold as is.

Strings - Regular light gauge (0.10 - 0.46)
Neck - nearly straight.
Truss rod - Adjustable with relief.
Fret Remaining - Above 90%
String Height (between the top of 12 fret to string) - 2.0mm/0.078" (Low E String), 1.6mm/0.063" (High E string).

Wondering if this is one of the guitars assembled in China from parts made in Korea during the changeover?

stratmoto said:
That is a Korean guitar, of some description.

Tell tale points are the Tone & Vol knobs, shape of the nut, cream plastic cavity plates, colour of the green on the tuners, the usual Korean buffing compound in the fretboard grain, it also lacks the usual squeezed out glue around the neck tenon that the Chinese models have.

Oddities are the quilt top, the bridge saddles look more like Chinese hardware, the serial number being stamped, (any serial number for that matter) and lack of "Made in Korea" in gold under the clear finish.

Probably an Alder body with maple neck scarf jointed behind the 2nd~3rd fret.

$300 USD sounds like a fair price, should be a good thing.
