Tokai LC80S vs Gibson Les Paul Custom

DISCLAIMER: This is not a sponsored video. The guitar was given to me by its owner for a review. This is an honest review and represents my personal opinion.

My quest with the Japanese Les Paul copies continues. A week after I tried the Burny Les Paul I got this 2005 Tokai LC80S to compare with my 2008 Gibson Les Paul Custom Alpine White. The Tokai is the most affordable model so it's not exactly a fair fight against the Gibson but it did better than I expect it.
