A True Vintage Masterpiece – Premium Nitro Finish, Boutique Tonewoods, Unmatched Japanese Craftsmanship – Now in India at The Stockist

The Tokai LS201 stands at the very top of Tokai’s legendary LS lineup — a guitar built for players and collectors who demand nothing less than vintage accuracy, world-class craftsmanship, and exceptional tonal depth. Handcrafted in Japan by Tokai’s elite luthiers, the LS201 is constructed with premium tonewoods, period-correct components, and finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer for the highest level of resonance and aging authenticity.

Featuring a 2-piece Maple top, 1-piece Mahogany back, ultra-comfortable Asymmetric U-profile neck, and vintage-voiced GOTOH PAF-Vintage MK2 pickups, the LS201 delivers the soulful mids, rich harmonic bloom, and sustain that made late-’50s LP-style guitars iconic. The stunning Honey Burst nitro finish adds both elegance and the potential for natural aging — making each guitar uniquely yours over time.

The LS201 isn’t just a guitar; it’s a master-built, heirloom-grade instrument designed to inspire every time you pick it up.
