    81 Solid top LS-120

    That's fair enough...I was not referring to you.

    81 Solid top LS-120

    It's a solid top, big deal. Others seem more invested in making claims and demanding evidence.

    81 Solid top LS-120

    BS. The grain runs from left to right and colour/flame variations are clearly visible due to the fact there is a big hole cut into the wood. Even Stevie Wonder can see that. As already explained, I bought it from the go to guy in Europe who sold it as a solid top. I have also confirmed this...

    81 Solid top LS-120

    It certainly has some character. I wish I could find out more about it being in Ohio. Clocked up a few miles in its time.

    Very nice guitars you have there. Always plenty of experts who love to divebomb onto anybody they can disagree with or prove wrong in general. As I said, somebody at Faber Germany said solid 120s don't exist, except the one I have then :) No oval sticker on mine, but the PCD confirms it's a...

    One piece of the puzzle sorted. Silk screen waterslide. Will look decent enough.

    Height and width as I have to put that info in on the online form for a quote. I assume these are done like the gibsons? ie the inlay recess bigger than the logo, then filled with black resin and sanded back? Finding Holly might be a challenge.....Wondering what other wood could be used.

    Much appreciated.. Are you able to take some accurate measurements of the logo? Also the size of rectangle it would fit in at it's extremes? Ideally, I think Id need a scan of it to send in the correct format so they can make up a CAD file from the exact logo. I have found a couple of places...

    Cheers, I've found a waterslide love rock logo so that will do. Not too fussed about that. Just want that Tokai headstock logo back on there as accurately as possible. Much appreciated,

    It also had a PCB which I have since had replaced with top end caps and pots.

    81 Solid top LS-120

    Not that easy to capture because the flames quite subtle so I tweaked the contrast..... but its there. I bought it off villager a decade ago and he knows what he is talking about.

    81 Solid top LS-120

    Exactly. No big deal, makes zero difference to how it sounds or plays. I am not selling it and advertising it as something it isn't.

    81 Solid top LS-120

    I have had this discussion with Faber Germany who also argued that solid topped 120s didn't exist.

    If you could take one square on...even then it may be distorted. How best to go about recreating the logo accurately? A little tricky.

    1981 ls120 Headstock veneer/logo replacement

    It is a genuine fake, has PRS vintage bass and treble pickups in it. Yes an LS120 and yes it's a solid top, they do exist in small numbers, why? I don't know. .. Pickups were out long before I ever bought it. Bought it off villager a decade ago, he knows what he is talking about.

    1981 ls120 Headstock veneer/logo replacement

    Do you have and very high res images of the correct 81 logo? I've found a guy in the USA who said can make me one using a holy wood veneer which would be period correct right? I'd need a accurate drawing or traced image with some accurate dimensions to send him. Should be able to find a...
