Nonetheless, These early 80's are known as the "PRE HISTORIC" 1959 Reissue guitars built by the best of the best Luthiers Gibson had to offer and This one is Amazing. Also rare because its one of the few in " FLAME MAPLE" with the meaty 58/9 AAA Mahogany Neck with a Brazilian Rosewood fretboard and with the Vintage correct Trapazoid MOP Inlays same as 50's Les Pauls used SEE THE PICS..most of these Heritage series guitars are Quilt tops I have had a few of those and they are nice too but this is a Very Nice Flame Top Example and is truly sure to please the true Player-Collector-Investor. This Guitar was presented to a famous celebrity musician who toured with this guitar and played it alot because it plays and SOUNDS AMAZING...this H-80 series has some early PAF recreations built by the now famous Tim Shaw who is known to be among the very best ever PAF recreations ever built bar non again we have had several all with Tim Buckers PAF's. This guitar gets THE TONE in Spades...RICH Harmonics jump off when attacked right its controllable and yet dangerous and when called for raw...It can do Bright real well too with the Bridge Pickup and The Neck Pickup has all the Deep Growl lows...you can ask for.

Hovland caps have been added to the tone pots (a standard upgrade for these guitars). In 1981, Gibson was still making their guitars in Kalamazoo, MI and this is a fine representation of their work. As you can see in the pictures, it has a BEAUTIFUL flamed maple top. It has some wear on the back, but that's to be expected from a touring guitarist's instrument. Fortunately, it also has the sound and playability that's to be expected from a touring guitarist's instrument! Comes with its Original hardshell case included.

Due to the EMG pickup upgrade the following modifications have been made to this guitar, Only two (2) knobs are now needed to function this guitar they are the knobs closest to the pickups/bridge/strings and they control: Knob #1:=Master Volume and, Knob #2:=Tone/EQ Pickup configuration is: EMG-85 = BRIDGE POSITION (Gold EMG logo) EMG-81 = NECK POSITION (Silver EMG logo) This SUPER EMG combination AMAZING for recording and is tried & true and is truly an amazing upgrade to this High Quality Les Paul guitar. This guitar is so close to the true vintage sound of the early Ole School Les Paul, that it's scary. But... it does have it's own voice. The neck is Sweet and versitle,great for jazzy style, its perfect! yet crank it and it will scream like Gary Moore's 57 Paul. The bridge can hurt you with it's crisp highs, and present mids, it too is really versital. (The sustain of this guitar is nothing short of a beast its INCREDIBLE!) Think early Santana! Through a Fender Deluxe Tube amp, Oh my...it's very warm, with a slight adjustment it becomes cutting, or bright, very ballsy blues & rock tones KILL really whatever you want and through a Digitech RP-3 we tested, it's all that, and a hole lot more!...This guitar has the correct 18 degree ofset to the neck headstock like a vintage Les Paul,this has the original Brass nut, frets are original in very good - excellent condition and have been recently dressed and are Gibson correct size the guitar plays very well all the way up the fretboard with good intonation, and stays in tune...Nicely aged Original Tuners & with gold hardware, The fretboard is particularly nice!!!.. with Premium dark Rosewood and is likely Brazilian Rosewood with top of the line abalony inlays to set this all off...All these apointments are a hugh upgrade price ticked at G!b$0n, This neck is a Nice & MEATY C shape profile and is thicker than most average Japanese Les Pauls.The body top is a Beautiful Premium Figured - Flame Maple with a masterfully applied Violin Finish and has aged to resemble a real 50's Les Paul with its natural ageing over the past 32 years and is a real vintage instrament in its own right. Body back is a nice 2-piece Mahogany. Bindings are really nice and are really beautiful tortishell = sweet! This guitar is JVG RATED in overall Very - good to excellent used vintage players condition a solid 8 /10...cosmetics top and front are prety clean and shows very well with minor dings or scuffs, the back of neck is prety clean, the body has many chips & dings that we have "touched up" using Gibson's correct color touch up pen "lacquer" to really make them blend and overall looks alot better now...ha its the back = don't worry its vintage and won't break the bank either...All and all this is one SUPER well built and Beautiful looking - sounding - playing Les Paul... This is for the intermediate to professional player you will be able to get amazing sounds from this player... Better pics soon to come. Any Questions? email us: gr8bids@comcast.net ELECTRA BRAND INFO: Electra guitars were imported from Japan by the Saint Louis Music (SLM) of Saint Louis, Missouri from 1971 to 1984 (most MPC models were made by Matsumoku of Matsumoku , Japan) .

Tokai Love Rock LS CUSTOM SHOP  VF  59 Les Paul  SOLD     Tokai Love Rock LS CUSTOM SHOP VF 59 Les Paul SOLD

No way...I assure you this is not trick photography this is the real deal...Here we have what I believe to be the best Tokai Love Rock in the US at this time its also the best I have ever picked up and played Wow...and I have had dozens of Tokai Love Rocks over the years from early 1980's high end examples threw to today's latest Custom Shop HQ Tokai offerings. This example just NAILS!!! the Vintage 1959 Les Paul. Okay, all you High-End Tokai enthusiasts… here's the one you've been holding out for!!! This is a new guitar and was built in 2008 Tokai Love Rock Custom Shop LS-I VF 8974 Les Paul Guitar. This guitar has been seriously upgraded sonicly with a set of Motor City Black Belt vintage PAF replica Pickups, This baby is in 100% pristine condition! For those of you who know about the unbeatable quality of high-end Tokai instruments, you will need no explanation but for those of you who are tired of going through 10-15 Gibson Les Paul guitars, trying to find “THE ONE," here's where your journey can end the best of the best. I've played for over 38 years and have owned many guitars, for me the bulk of which have been Gibson USA and Custom Shop LPs and of course my Vintage 1965 Gibson es335. I'm not going to downgrade Gibson I love the good one's but you usually have to pay $4500-7500 to get one of them, they have made some marvelous guitars through their storied history, but I've had problems in the last few years with finding one that really “sings." I really like the looks and vibe of the R9 VOS guitars and the older R-9's & R-8's , but I was not interested in dropping $5,000 plus to get one this time round. Then I saw this one in a Custom Shop in Nagoya, Japan, and that was all it took. The look, the feel, the fit, the 59' vibe, the sound, the all nitrocellulose lacquer finish…so I spent $2,200 on this beauty and made one MAJOR upgrade to hand-wound, Motor City Black Belt Pickups ($320.00 upgrade). They were installed and wired by my guitar tech, who is the best in business, bar none. (The original Tokai MKII pickups were marginal at best not bad but sounded nothing like this! These Black Belts pickups are vintage PAF winds with bridge in the 8-9K range…the neck mid 7's. To learn more about these check http://www.motorcitypickups.com/products/blackbelt.htm Specs are as follows: · Exotic woods BODY: Top is AAAA Highly Flamed - Figured Eastern Maple top this is a real SOLID TOP and is not a thin veneer or photoflame, The High grade Mahogany Back – is solid, and is ONE-PIECE and is all 100% exotic African Mahogany · ENTIRE GUITAR FINISH: is ALL 100% Nitrocellulose instrument Lacquer and like glass · NECK JOINT: IS correct 1959 spec = Long-Tenon Deep Joint · NECK: One-piece African Mahogany vintage correct frets with perfectly detailed fret edge binding with a glass like feel, inlays are celluloid and correct old school and are aged like a high end Gibson CS Tom Murphy R-9 aged Replica.. · FINGERBOARD: is Exotic dark Rosewood and it looks like its Brazilian Rosewood with that grain seen on the Old Gibson's · RADIUS: Similar to VOS '59 Reissue,it has some girth, but probably not as much as a '58 Reissue. · SCALE: 24.75" · NUT: Bone (43.0 mm – 1.69") · NECK INLAY: Old school aged Amber Celluloid Trapezoid · PAF HUMBUCKING PICKUPS: Motor City Black Belt $320 total upgrade · CONTROLS: 2-Vol, 2-Tone, CTS Pots, 3-Way Switchcraft Toggle · BRIDGE: HLS-VB & HLS-VT Aluminum Stop Tailpiece feather weight · TUNERS: Gotoh SD90-SL · WEIGHT: 9 lbs, 11 oz. · Genuine Gibson Switchwasher ($10) · CASE: Optional & Available The tone of this guitar is exquisite… both clean and over-driven and will not disappoint. The guitar is as new and in mint condition, with maybe a total of an hour of play time…. no nicks, dings, scratches, checks, cracks, buckle-rash…heck, you'll be hard-pressed to find any finger-prints on it, for that matter! JVG RATED 100% !!! Guitar $2200, shipping from Japan Custom Shop $150, $320+ in upgrades, I also added a Historic Trussrod cover and will make this purchase complete with an optional RARE original Tokai 59 Reissue Hard Shell case a $300 value case is older in excellent condition...see pics Any questions feel free to ask up... email us gr8bids@comcast.net Ready to buy call 408-375-1364 Thank you for your interest Joe SOLD! .

Here we have one of our own JVG Reborn Old custom build PAISLEY 69-T guitars IN PROGRESS, its not finished or aged at all yet STAY TUNED for that part soon to come. Built the right way - the Old School way... same as Leo did back in 1969. OK..I know the Japanese reissues are very poplar but personally I do not care for the pattern or the color like I do the originals. The Japanese process on their Reissues are also different in that they use a decal transfer system much like the famous Photo flame or a water-slide decal, and they just do not have the same classic look , they are not 3 dimensional at all like Old School... so what you see here is different than those this is real old school Wallpaper!... we use old school wallpaper paste to apply it as well, just the same as in 69 the body gets finished in a catilized urethane finish several hunndred thin coats it seems like anyway...its quite the process and it take a long time to finish ione of these... its labor intensive and it truly takes a lot of man hours and so I can see why he Japanese came up with the transfer decal method that cuts the time to 1/6th .. but for you purest and those who want a correct old school version of a Paisley..The color has been painstakingly re-produced for us and this color nails the originals color... see for yourself Nothing like the Japanese Reissues by F. This is a JVG Reborn Old Paisley 69-T will fit the bill... This is for a custom order and we have all parts aged to look 40+ years old.... We have old NOS tone Caps that we use in these to capture the true Old 69 Tone... many options exist for this build.. Pickups, necks & profiles, fret size, Flame maple, Rosewood & or Brazilian Rosewood optional, Pickup options of all kinds.... but it starts with the basics of the Paisley T.... Let me know if we can build you one... takes about 2-3+ months on average once contracted. Prices start at $2350.00 for a turn key Paisley T, add a new Tweed HSC for $150 FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE WITH YOUR PAID ORDER = ask how to get free shipping anywhere we can .

Here is a great Replica of the original.. and will make an outstanding example... THIS IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED unlike the " F#nd#@ " Japan made reisue wich uses a water transfer decal method.. Our's is old school correct and is as simply as close as it gets without a time machine.

JVG Luthier Built 69 Strat 24k Gold leaf RELIC made in California USA     JVG Luthier Built 69 Strat 24k Gold leaf RELIC made in California USA

Here she is one of my favorite era Strat styles ever the 1969 this beauty built in the true flavor of the 1969 Summer of Love Jimi Hendrix era tone machine. This guitar gets her tone from Fenders Custom Shop Abigail signed initialed '69 Reissue pickups these are from my old stock that Abby signed her initials on...very cool start, then I use old stock tone Caps to capture realistic late 60s tone... This one get it good too folks very real mojo and "Jimi vibe" goin on. The body is accurate contour vintage correct and is 1-piece solid ash and is a wonderfully resonant body to begin with... the body was thin coat sealed and then I applied real 24k Gold Leaf to it.... then burnished that, aged ti and clear coated with 100% Nitrocellulose instrument Lacquer... the best!... it has the look and feel of 1969 if they ever made one like this back in the day. To top this off I joined this 24K Gold body creation with the most gorgeous neck possible an amazingly curly flamed to death native to Hawaii "Maui" KOA wood then I toped that off with an exotic richly grained Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and installed medium vintage frets!.... then I proceeded to aged its georgous pearloid pickguard and back plate to what you see here as you may notice not all parts are fully aged yet ( tuners & jack plate and a few bits and ends ) these pics are a dry run the guitar was fit with its parts and dialed in, next I take it apart again and aged the remaining parts and dial her all in / done results well please see for yourself. This custom Luthier build was a labor of love for me and a exciting guitar to build... I hope you like it... Let me know if you must have! All the best regards Joe Update soon to come with fresh pictures when completed .

82 TOKAI Springy Sound 64 Stratocaster SOLD Lay-Away s same as cash     82 TOKAI Springy Sound 64 Stratocaster SOLD Lay-Away s same as cash

Here we have a wonderful example of the vintage 1982 TOKAI Springy Sound 1964 Stratocaster in the classic perfect vintage 3Tone Sunburst Just like the originals they copied WoW this guitar is kind of near minty and she is an oldie but a goodie folks! This is one of Japan’s best Tokai’s masterful version of a 1964 Vintage Stratocaster according to Tokai its a Springy Sound and this is well know for its having been built just as close as it gets in detail to the real deal from 1964 they say.... I do actually own a real vintage Fender Strat from 1964 and a few from 66 as well as others so I know what a good start should sound like and play like and I must say The TOKAI Springys have always impressed me they are in my opinion among the best most accurate production reissue including some of those from the “Fen###” Custom shop I’ve had them as well. This baby is very cool with the deep carve sexy original body contour just like my real 64 THEY NAILED IT! This one’s body is Alder wood and is very resonant tone and sustain is excellent the grain is also cool looking with character just have a good look you’ll see . We added one of our realistic JVG vintage aged pickguard. Overall its super clean condition wow aged with patina yes very few minute insignificant nicks are hard to fine and see but it is a used played vintage guitar isn't it. Its been JVG set up to play like butta, we could dress and polish the frets and detail the guitar if you request additional but it plays absolutely great right now and doesn't really need that yet in my opinion and will leave that to the next proud owner. I see she has the original electronics too it and look like its never been apart before I opened her up to see what its equipped with and gladly it has the beautiful vintage correct black bobin pickups from 64 ( like MY 64 ) and my understanding is that DiMarzio actually made these for Tokai back in the day and the Gray bottoms were supplied by Semour Duncan back in 1980's... these old Black bottoms rock the house I love the sound and so will you! I noticed the bridge saddles say Final Prospect. This has the big Tone block old school style too to contribute to its accurate 60s tone. Must check out this vintage Tokai Springy Sound Strat its amazing... just in and available Contact Joe’s Vintage Guitars to buy: jvguitars@gmail.com .
