Tokai ULC LP Custom in Black, (Used)

The Tokai ULC LP Custom is a solid‑body electric guitar built as a high‑quality “Les Paul–style” instrument. Its body is made from mahogany with a two‑piece maple cap, giving it a rich, resonant foundation with the warmth and sustain associated with mahogany cores and the clarity and brightness of maple top wood. The neck is a one‑piece mahogany set‑neck with an asymmetrical “U”‑shaped profile, paired with a pau ferro fingerboard that spans 22 frets. The scale length is 625 mm (about 24.6″) and the nut width is approximately 43 mm — dimensions that deliver a familiar Les Paul feel in the hand, with accessible fret spacing and comfortable playability.

Electronics consist of two PAF‑style humbucking pickups, one at the neck and one at the bridge, governed by a standard controls layout: two volume knobs, two tone knobs, and a three‑way pickup selector. This configuration allows a wide range of sounds, from warm, rounded neck‑pickup tones to brighter, more cutting bridge‑pickup leads, plus a blend of both. The hardware includes a Tokai LS‑VB bridge and LS‑VT tailpiece for stable intonation and sustain, original-style Kluson-style tuners, and a bone nut, providing reliable tuning stability and a traditional setup.

Overall, the ULC delivers a balance of vintage styling and modern build quality: plenty of sustain and warmth from the mahogany body, clarity from the maple cap, and versatility from its dual-humbucker configuration — suitable for blues, rock, hard rock, and more. The workmanship and attention to detail in construction, wood selection, and finishing make it a serious alternative for anyone seeking a Les Paul–type guitar with high-level build quality and tonal versatility.
