Hi Sig -- Is that a CS or OS finish? A bit dirty, but it looks sweet to my untrained eyes.

Looks to me like what Tokai called OS (Old Sunburst).

That one sold for a surprisingly high price considering it did not even include the OHSC. There are even some vintage LS80s listed on Reverb that are a better deal. The whole point of buying vintage MIJ guitars directly from Japan is to get a good deal but unfortunately that doesn't always seem to be the case anymore for the popular brands like Tokai.
