Why are you saying it’s fake?

It has the same seam separation of the veneer that my 1981 LS120 had.

It wouldn’t be a Reborn in 1981 though. I believe the Reborn Old was 1980.

I didn't say it was fake. I was asking if it is fake. Do you think it is a real vintage Tokai Les Paul?

If you read the ad, it has a two piece Mahagony body. Did LS-120's have 2 Piece Mahagony bodies?
It also said the top was redone and is crying to be redone again or something like that.
Check out the cavities. Do those look like Tokai machine work?
Can you see the Maple top in the cavities.
Looks like solid Mohagany all the way up to the veneer.
Interested in opinions from everyone familiar with Tokai Les Paul style guitars.

That guitar has been listed for years…

Yes it’s a Tokai. Those are Tokai routs.

Offset neck tenon too.



Someone put P90s in it it looks like.

And it looks like it has a maple cap. Hard to tell with the wood filler.
