Hi
I've recently discovered this forum and what a great forum with loads of really useful information.
I've owned a Love Rock for the last 12 years and didn't really know that much about it other than it was an early to mid 80's version. I wasn't aware that there were so many variations until I read some of the threads on here. So I want to identify which model it is exactly.
Initially I thought it must be an LS-60 as it has a plain top but it has fret edge binding and an 18* headstock which would indicate it's an LS-80
It's a great guitar one of the best I've ever owned. There are a couple of things that bother me about it though, one being the neck inlays which are the nasty looking mother of toilet seat variety rather than the authentic inlays found on earlier examples, and the other thing is the colour - it's a very in your face cherry sunburst which is a bit too strong for my liking. I much prefer a nice teaburst or honeyburst.
Anyway below is a link to a gallery of pictures. What do you guys think?
