A Tokai LS-75 AG handcrafted in 1981.

This must be extremely rare guitar.  I have met LS-75 AG only twice including this one.  If you know much about Tokai, you might know this guitar, but I hadn’t known the existence of this model until I met it.

When looked from upright aspect, it looks usual gold top model, but from behind, all golden figure surprises us.  Yes, AG means all golden.  Gibson seems to have produced all gold Les Paul around 1956.

I respect the person who select such a guitar like this among many guitars, because he should have unique life style which ordinary people never have.

I felt too flamboyant at first, but I gradually became to feel it to be chic, smell a air of Buddhism.  I imagine that Biwa Houshi, known as lute priest of ancient Japan, might suit for it.

Maple two-piece top. Adhesive line of back material isn’t visible. 4.23kg(includes strings). (Updated 2016.8.27)
