Gathering examples of these.

Based in part on reborn old's excellent thread years ago these would have:

- the pointed truss rod cover with the cut off flat base
-and possibly still have a MADE IN KOREA gold foil sticker still present

http://www.tokaiforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=20753

Note the the base of the "h" is not pointed as it is in the 1995-1997 examples.

Here's one (LS50D ?) that further adds to the mystery...

A Love Rock with a bolt neck that has this hyphen/dash symbol (7-5) and has features of both Korean and Japanese manufacturing.

Korean (no serial number, 3 screw pointed bell TRC from roughly 1998-2000, red white and blue wires).

Japanese (production code stamp, MIJ pots, square Tokai Japan routs for pickup ears in cavity).
