Hi all,
Here is my beloved 85 Love Rock, bought in 2000 I think for £270 from somewhere on Denmark St.
No FEB? 2 piece back. Is it solid maple top or maple veneer? It seems to be the same colour for the depth of about 1cm.
Bell shaped TRC with 3 screws. The numbers in the cavity looked like 700 to me at first, but on closer inspection looks like it might be - 60. Does the rest of the spec tie in with this being an LS-60?
It’s a beautiful thing, whatever it is. It’s off to the luthier next week for its first setup in over 20 years. The same luthier used by Snowy White apparently, which is oddly coincidental because ‘Bird of Paradise’ made me fall in love with this guitar, that and a review I read in 1985.
Please have a look at the pics and let me know what you think.
