Thanks. Tried to photo the fretboard. Very interesting debate. I asked elsewhere about J and was told it meant “Junior”. Have you heard of that before?The J in LS200 J VF could signify 'Jacaranda' but that is a guess.
Difficult to tell from your photos but the fingerboard looks like it could be Jacaranda.
Also, doesn't seem anyone here knows what Jacaranda actually is and the point has been debated to death.
Nice guitar tho' and good luck
Here is the 2018 catalog.

Possibly the same guitar being called an LS196. With inflation is could become an LS200 in 2 years. Just a guess.
Looks like your knobs, tuners, pickups, etc. were probably changed.
And as for the "J", could you post a pic of the COA? Might help clarify what it means.

Thanks for all of your considered input. It helps my educationDon't know why the J would designate 'Junior' because your LS looks like a copy of a LP Standard but then I'm not up to speed on the more recent LS line, circa 2020.
MIJs are a strange breed and that's one reason I like 'em.
Sigmania thank you for your responses.In the Reborn Old line JFB stands for jacaranda fret board.

It could also be that the mods on your guitar were part of a special or custom order, and the J is part of that?
