I am offering for sale a stellar example 2000 Tokai Love Rock LS-320 VF and original case.
I have owned this guitar for over 15 years and it is pretty much in the same condition now as when I purchased it.
Since I have owned this LS-320 for such a long time I'm in no particular hurry to part with it but the right buyer could certainly sway a decision.
This 2000 LS-320 is nearly 24 years old.
The rare lumbers currently regulated by CITES Appendix 1 and CITES Appendix 2, that were utilized for the manufacture of this stellar example, are surly quite a bit older than the production age of this example and older lumber is certainly a plus.
If Tokai were to currently replicate such an example with the same lumber species and the same build spec the price point would likely be around the $10K USD ball park but then you wouldn't have the older lumber that this LS-320 example has.
This 2000 LS-320 looks to be in original condition, the pickguard was never installed/screw holes never drilled, original case is included, warranty card, pickguard with protective film still in place, the control route cover and the toggle route cover have the protective films in place, originally purchased new in 2006 from Big Boss Freaks Market: I am the second owner.
I would rate the condition of this 2000 LS-320 as very good plus to excellent minus.
Some attributes include a fabulous looking and very unusual flat sawn Brazilian board, one of the nicest 4A Maple tops I have seen on any LS-320, a 1 piece flat sawn Honduran body back, a 1 piece quarter sawn Honduran neck with a long neck tenon, fret edge binding and a '60s slim taper thickness neck/profile. Weight is 9 lb. - 3 oz. and that is of course with no pickguard.
*** I reside in the lower 48 USA so, if sold, this awesome LS-320 would ship only to the lower 48, Alaska or Hawaii because of the rare lumbers to avoid any potential CITES issues. ***
I am not posting an asking price for this now quite rare example but I will consider any and all offers from seriously interested parties. You know who you are and you know who you are not.
Cheers
