Don't see these very often... Wow.

Seymour Duncans...

Note the LS200 came with Seymour Duncans...

LS100 is supposedly a laminate top and has DiMarzios per the catalog.

Sticker is oddly low on the headstock.

Tokai/トーカイ LS100 Love Rock/ラブロック 198... - ヤフオク!

Description of item​

Tokai/Tokai!! LS100!! Love Rock/Love Rock!! Made in 1984!! Super light!! About 3.8kg!! It's not a tiger moku crunchy, but I think it's a very nice top. It was pointed out that the LS100 made in 1984 probably has a sticky top. When I checked it, it was not a pasted maple but a thick maple carved out ! ! I can't confirm it, but it seems to be a full original. The serial number is 401XXXX, so it was made in 1984. It weighs about 3.8kg and is very light. The body is a 2-piece center maple top and 1-piece mahogany back. The plating on the saddle has come off a little and you can see the brass. There is no photo on the back of the tailpiece, but it has Japan notation and is light, so it is probably an original aluminum tailpiece. Fret edge binding. In my opinion, the frets are about 8 minutes left. The truss rod has not been adjusted since purchase. The pickup was marked 59N on the front and 59B on the rear. I looked it up but couldn't find it. The circuit is the base and there is no evidence that the solder has been replaced, so it seems to be original. (It may be an order.) Some control knobs have cracks, but there are no gully. There is some peeling in the binding on the cutaway, but there is no problem. The original hard case comes with a key. * Since it is a second-hand product and there are scratches, scratches, etc. due to use, please strictly observe no complaints and no returns.

Yep. It is that way with just about everything vintage.

Pays to hang onto stuff.

You can use e.g. buyee.com: (I think there are one or two more sites like buyee which also forward the item to you for some commission)
https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/r1063056272Just exchange the auction no. with the one from the link here...
