2016 LPJ1

https://reverb.com/item/3347150-tok...r-2016-tv-yellow-upgraded-new-mij-custom-shop

Selling my brand new 2016 TOKAI Les Paul Junior replica LPJ1 as a one or two day special, since I have first bids on a vintage piece I would really, really like to own and need to generate cash NOW. If the guitar I'm lusting for is gone, so will be this listing, as I don't really want to sell this Tokai.

This is the best Les Paul Junior replica you can buy. Made in Japan in Tokai's Custom Shop, basically unplayed, with upgraded electronics + pickup. Don't mistake this guitar for the lower level (multiple piece body/neck) guitars from Tokai Japan or the cheap Chinese Tokais.

one piece Mahogany body
one piece Mahogany neck with long tenon
rosewood fretboard
bone nut
Gotoh hardware
CTS TVT vintage taper potentiometer
NOS Paper-In-Oil 22nF capacitor
lightweight at 3.4 kg (or 7.5 lbs)



Has the OPEN BOOK headstock - can't get this anywhere in the US. This guitar costs $1480 new!

I upgraded the electronics from linear pots to audio taper pots + a NOS vintage Paper-In-Oil (PIO) capacitor. The pickup is a Vintage Inspired Pickups VIP90. I recorded a soundclip of the guitar (check out the Soundcloud link).

Absolutely no signs of wear, still has protective film on pickguard. Never left the house. Super comfortable to play! Neck profile is en par with my vintage 1959 Gibson Junior.
