...has yet to arrive, but I'm a week away from ordering. I've narrowed my choices down to two models and my selection will be ordered half way around the world, so I could use some guidance. Being left handed, I rarely get to try my guitars first anyway, but in this case there's not even a right handed model for me to see. There is practically no descriptions on the sight and it's hard to get detailed communication because the retailer is purchasing it from a friendly competitor and there's some language barriers. I have searched this site, but I can't locate details on these specific models.
I'm looking at the LC-90S-L and it's certainly a beatiful black lefty Custom. It would me MIJ, yes? Since it's a black beauty, would it be a solid mahogany body or would it have a maple cap? What are Tokai LP neck profiles like? Fat? I realize this isn't the high-end model, so what are the odds that I would find the pickups acceptable? I can get this guitar for 67,500 yen.
The second choice is the ES-110. Yes, a different beast altogether, but it is gorgeous and I've never seen a lefty Red 335 copy. Since the ES-120 and ES-100 are both MIJ, I'm assuming this is Japanese too. Would this be a lacquer finish like the 120 or a poly finish like the 100? Same question on the neck and pickups. I can get this one with case for 82,000 yen.
Lots of questions, but I'm flying blind here and could use your experience!
Thanks,
Brendan
