Hi everyone, can anyone please give me some clarity on the Love Rock model I have, serial number is 0920719, so I believe its 2009, its MIJ, but I cannot locate its actual model, no scratch plate, quilted top, cream and black humbuckers, thanks in advance

Looks like the ALS/ULS (dimpled headstock) version of a 2009 LS100Q

Thank you very much , can I please ask what do you mean by ALS/ULS (dimpled headstock)? Thanks again for your quick response

That little dimple in the middle was a design feature to get around Gibson's trademark/copyrights.

Some call it an "export dimple" as in meant for export to countries where Gibson has legal claim to the open book headstock shape.

A = America
U = Europe ?

Aha, thats really usefull information, the only other question I have is the Truss rod cover is a bell type with "standard" engraved on it, is this original to my guitar or is it a replacement? Thank you again for your knowledge,

Replacement to make it look like a Gibson STD.
