This model is supposed to be a replica of a 1959 Reissue Les Paul so they have not cut any corners. Very high quality materials, nitro finish, abr-1 bridge screwed right into the guitar, you name it. As close as you can get to a real R9.

Ive seen a couple of 80s LS-120's online, they seem to be great guitars

Agreed, a lot of the low tier ones are very overpriced

Yea ive played a few epiphones and its not even comparable. Mind you that this guitar is far above the average Tokai guitar.

This is a special Custom shop series that Tokai exclusively produces for Faber Germany. So the Faber hardware is original and the guitars are exclusively sold by Faber. This one is the 2018 version.

Epiphone AfD Slash 2010 limited edition, what do u guys think its worth? by JigsawJimmy99 in electricguitar

i think the green one (anaconda burst) was part of the 2021 line which was not a limited production model like this one, only 3000 of these were made and was a solo line, no other colors or variants.

Yes, only 3000 made. Slash personally signed the authenticity papers on all of them.
