I've always wanted a 'birth year' guitar, and I've always been interested in these late 70's Tokai Gibson replicas.
In this video, we take a look at the Tokai LS-80 Les Paul Reborn. This is essentially a 1958 Gibson Les Paul Re-issue, and it is pretty amazing.
I've swapped the pickups up for a set of Doyle Coil Tru-Clone PAF's. Learn more about them here (but beware, they aren't cheap): http://www.doylecoils.com

Here is a video I did at WT Tone comparing the Doyle Coil's to the pickups that came with the Tokai: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5H-__83M7A
